POLL: New Economy

[Indrae]

You know, the more I think about it, the more a gold economy makes sense. The problem with using money ($) as a currency is that it has no worth. No work is really tied to gaining money. Gold, on the other hand, is something that has to be mined for. Work is put into obtaining it, so naturally there will be some value placed on it. I would not advocate giving people gold every certain number of minutes. That leads to inflation and diminished value.

Note: I'm not trying to make a comprehensive argument. Mostly just typing out ideas and points as they come to me.
