I can't go along with that either. If you look at the worlds monetary system, the only thing worthy of purchase is gold. Converting your cash into anything else is stupid. We can't eat it though.
A butcher will carve out some nice steaks and ask 9 dollars per pound.
What doesn't sell is turned into ground beef and offered at 3 dollars per pound. It's all the same cow and it's all turned to poop eventually.
Is the butcher stupid ?
Are all of the buyers stupid ?
Are those shoppers who look for nice steaks at the ground beef price stupid ?
Everyone is at their own degree of stupid ?
