OTOH...see Neal Stephenson's *Cryptonomicon*, which speculates that gold
could be used as the basis of a transnational cybercurrency independent of
national currencies. The intrinsic value of a substance, in any event, has
no necessary relationship to its use as a medium of exchange; see Shea and
Wilson, *Illuminatus*, sub "flaxscript" and "hempscript". Consider also the
widespread use of Marlboros as a medium of exchange in many parts of the
Third World.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
