it matters so much less than goldbugs can grasp. their idea of the gold standard has basically never existed. it's just too inconvenient to use specie for everything, so you inevitably get jewish tricks through banking. inflation and spurious money creation has always been a problem. the important thing is to have prudent banking regulations. your question illuminates my point. goldtards blame nixon for leaving the gold standard, not realizing that it was the only option because despite having a gold standard the government massively overprinted currency relative to reserves and was facing an imminent bank run by other countries. it's just a distraction from the actual issue: banking.
