This is a discredit to your channel. There were some highly questionable and outrageous claims from the outset, but then 38mins in is just becomes a complete distortion of history to suggest Nixon came off the gold standard in 71 because of the Brits in the 20's. Err what utter nonsense. That treasonous lying Nixon had massively overspent on the vietnam war, printing far more dollars that he should to fund it, and France saw this and then wanted gold as did other nations, and THAT is why Nixon had to dispense with the gold standard, to deny these other countries from rightfully claiming their gold deposits. And whilst we're on the subject we could mention this was only supposed to be temporary and yet on this jubilee year 50 years later we stand on the edge of the precipitous economic and financial cliff we are destined to fall off, all thanks to Nixon's bent for war and greed to fund it. Timeline you should be ashamed showing this tripe in the 21st century

John Kenneth Galbraith said that Roosevelt viewed gold as a petty passion of the rich. Gold is a standard of wealth that transcends "the rich" (or even this culture). It is a unit of measure whether the coms want to believe it or not. The inch, foot, yard, etc. is treated with more respect than is gold.

Paper money is backed by the country that issues it. A country made up of people, so a currency is backed by people. A currency is as stable as its human backers are. If for example Americans actually could get another civil war going as many are keen to do the value of the USD would likely fall and could become as worthless as the the Confederate States dollar was. The only value would be in if one side was seen to maybe win and able to build back. The concept of currency being backed back a government, a people, is nothing new. Even when gold coins were used like, Byzantine and Great Britain, people still had to trust the amount and purity of the metal in the coin. And when on the gold standard people had to trust government and banks that they actually could exchange paper for gold. It's an interesting concept many people have that gold is a better holder of wealth. What would gold be worth if somehow all civilizations collapsed? What if humans went all the way back to subsistence farming or even hunter gatherer? Would you want to carry around 10, 20 pounds of gold? Without a safe place to keep it? Gold could likely become worthless. Gold is fine, but do you have any food? We's be back to a currency backed by people, like farmers. A farmer who can grow food would be wealthy. He could issue paper currency that could be used to exchange for food in the future...an I.O.U...exactly how this all got started.

My supposition on this is there was a time in those areas where gold was found in abundance on the ground dispersed by active volcanoes. Again the question arises, "how did they know how to process it? I appears that visitors had them gather the gold but after they left the civilizations were left with large amounts of gold so they just fashioned into useful or artistic relics. Also until I read different explanations, my guess on the fall of the Mayan Empire is when the visitors left the human leaders could not maintain a complicated civilization without their help. I find interesting the belief that the visitors in the Ucatan were lizard type visitors and enjoyed eating the Maya so led them to sacrifice their kind to the gods for food.

Reaction yes, heat no. Gold is not inert if the reaction produces a lot of heat. The gold may stay gold but as a puddle at the bottom of the chamber.

Read it again. Section 10 is limits the States. It just limits the STATES to only pay debts payed by gold or silver. The Constitution allows Congress unfettered power to incure debt and PRINT currency and coins. This is to address a problem the the States got into under the articles of Confederation, each State printing money, inflating it to pay off debts from the War for Independence. There is so much to understand (that isn't taught much) about what went wrong under the "Articles", before an understanding of why the Constitution is written the way it is.

The issue isn’t gold. The issue is the FEDERAL RESERVE bastardizing currency. Sure the government contracted lending and credit in the Great Depression, but it’s likely that the fed caused the roaring twenties. The free market should set interest rates. Today we’re 29 trillion in debt, and have 120-200 trillion in unfunded liabilities like social security and Medicare. The federal reserve is what’s propping up bubbles. They own 2.5 trillion in mortgages on real estate. Some always say oh well there’s not enough gold to use as money. But the question isn’t quantity, but a question of price. It’s no wonder the federal reserve never allows an audit and in the 1970s only showed a room to politicians at Fort Knox. Nobody knows How much gold the US actually has. Nobody really knows how much Bitcoin the US has either. They confiscated a lot when they closed the Silk Road black web trading site.

Value is subjective. I'm sure they realized it had "value" to other people right around the time they were being robbed.

Overall this series was fun to watch and to learn some new information but there definitely was a touch of bias against gold in it. Not to mention a good dosage of disingenuity. For example, a couple of the main reasons why Nixon closed the gold window was due to foreign countries redeeming their dollars for gold. Charles de Gaul of France (& others) were suspicious the US wasn't being honest with it's "fixed" rate of $35 per ounce of gold. He and other countries called their bluff. Slowly but surely, dollars were coming back in exchange for gold per the Bretton Woods agreement. With all those dollars flooding back into the US, is one reason why Americans were experiencing higher inflation. Another convenience is Roosevelt made it illegal for US citizens to hold gold and it was illegal for 30 years until it was redacted in 1974!

Aa far back as you can go. Gold mines in africa are over 10,000 years old. No egyptians were not the first

Gold from space, huh? Might be. There's a lot of iron in asteroids, too. And while gold might have interesting chemical properties, I suspect that iron will (and you note that I use the future tense) be the long-term driving force of humanity going into space and to other planets. Followed closely by the need for newer places to live. And that might sound a bit too star treky for some, but that's okay.

I wouldn't be to confident that the conditions of mining in south Africa have improved enough and the wages are probably not nearly high enough for that kind of work other than that good three episodes of documentary

Just remember gold is much harder to produce than food and gold can be traded for food when necessary.

30:19 " We need gold because we don't trust governments" quote by Herbert Hoover sounds like BITCOIN. Gold and Bitcoin went through similar histories.

It sounds like the history of Bitcoin to someone who is brainwashed. Someone that believes that this modern intangible digital invention is in any way relatable to the literal ORIGIN OF VALUE which is GOLD. Buy gold, gold producers, AND royalty companies. Not worthless fairy dust like Bitcoin. And don't ever EVER disrespect gold by comparing it to some intangible fairy dust like bitcoin again. ITS WORTHLESS.

If Britain, when they returned to the gold standard, would have priced the gold at a higher level the economical depression wouldn't have been as bad. I like the statement, "It's not of our making and that's why we trust it" We made the Dollar and we made Bitcoin and many of us don't trust them.

Gold is very much money, but not for regular people anymore. We trade worthless paper. Nations and the wealthy trade gold among themselves. Don't believe me try to get a 2 lbs bar.

In this documentary I noticed no mention of the Afrikan king Mansa Musa who lived in the 13th century and is regarded as the richest man to ever live and his fortune was based on gold. Not one mention of him. I wonder why lol 😆 🤔 😂.

Don't confuse "state capitalism" with free enterprise. These two paradigms are mutually exclusive in that state capitalism promotes collectivism, but free enterprise promotes individualism. 🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷 "The strongest argument for free enterprise is that it prevents anybody from having too much power."
