why?

  The reasons are far too numerous to list all of them here, entire books have been written outlying why Fiat currency is bad over all for humanity however for me, I am supporter of extremely limited government, as such commodity based money is a natural limit on how much government a civilization can have, as government can only directly tax soo much before the citizens revolt, fiat currency allows them to tax by inflation and take on far more debt than a commodity currency would allow. Also fiat currency makes War between nations far more economically possible.

  "anything but this" is a compelling direction, when people don't subscribe to a least-worst model of governance. 'Anything but this' is an utopian path. There's really no justification or even rationalization, for compromise, online. 'Anything but this' is a form of 'cures whatever ails you'.
