01 / WHAT IS MONEY

The Six Characteristics of Money

01

Durability

Stores value over a prolonged period, not the lifespan of a bank note.

02

Portability

Easy to carry and move.

03

Divisibility

Splits into smaller units.

04

Uniformity

Every unit is alike.

05

Limited Supply

Scarcity protects value.

06

Acceptability

Widely taken in exchange.

02 / TRUST ALONE

Money Cannot Run on Trust Alone

The RBA definition

No Intrinsic Value Needed

The Reserve Bank of Australia says the material used as money need not have any value in its own right. Money derives its value from the trust people place in it.

The evidence100+

Cases of hyperinflation in the past 125 years, from Weimar in 1921 to Argentina, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

03 / THE FIAT EXPERIMENT

55 Years Since the Gold Window Closed

August 1971

Convertibility Ends

The US ended the convertibility of dollars into gold for foreign governments, breaking the Bretton Woods promise of $35 per troy ounce.

Today~$5,000

Approximate US dollar cost of one troy ounce of gold at the time of writing.

Purchasing power-99%

Decline in dollar purchasing power over the past 55 years.

04 / GOLD VS THE S&P

Gold Outperforms the S&P 500

Years since 200024 of 25

Gold beat the S&P total return, with dividends reinvested, even without paying a yield. Any two, five, ten or fifteen year period from 2000 shows the same, excluding 2011.

2025

Up Over 50%

The first time gold has risen by more than 50% in a year since 1979. A rising gold price in any currency means that currency is losing purchasing power.

05 / THE SOLUTION

X Currency: Gold on Solana

Layer 01

Gold Backing

Why stablecoins
