Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Why is China Buying Industrial Metals -> 'COPPER STANDARD'?

I'm wondering why people are so attracted to metals and gems. Why do we give them value? Not only that why do we give green paper value? I can't see currency being used for much longer. But as long as people are greedy and are tying to be better than others money will exist.
