Its an interesting question, that of security requirements for a global gold standard. No new technology is needed, if all the central banks of the world decided to deregulate interest rates and irrevokably peg their currencies to wholesale gold bullion. This is a policy decision. If undertaken

The approach of comparing gold reserves and money is so totally wrong I can't understand why it would afflict so many people on this list. The value money held at a bank must be the lesser of its redemption value and the value of the bank's total assets to total liabilities (assuming all

GoldMoney and e-gold maintain this ratio at exactly 1 digital gram / 1 physical gram. The old US gold standard maintained this ratio at exactly 1 dollar / 23.22 physical grains. A gold standard, and fractional reserve banking are two different things. The US has always had fractional reserve

With the price of gold at $353.80 per troy ounce and the price of crude oil at $30.44 per barrel, we have a gold / oil ratio of about 11.6 right now. The rule of thumb I've heard is that when this ratio is lower than 12, generally speaking gold is a bargain. It seems like every time over the
