That's comical, I doubt it. Completely. People who buy into that type of logic are confused. The papers market has made a whole generation of people wealthy. People with narrow perspectives really are to blame here but I digress.
We already had a 'sound' money system for 1,900 years and those empires crumbled too. Sorry, the argument is just not convincing. Besides, BTC props up the USD, not petrol. That argument is worn out too!
