Think of world finance and most people picture some huge establishment over which they have no control. This image is what those running our finances prefer us to see and they go to great lengths to maintain their grandiose illusion.
Impressively they engrave their currency notes with faces of authority and issue them from triumphant buildings supported by glorious pillars often decorated with gold leaf. The marble halls that dwarf the individual and inspire awe are designed to intimidate and remove all doubt about who holds the power.
Yet this intricate frame so cunningly designed has only one purpose: to distract attention away from the one element that is vital to a currencies survival.
That element is actually our collective faith in money's value.
It has been said that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen, but in the case of currency, it is even more than that. It is the vital ingredient that transforms paper into gold.
Alternatively if we all stopped believing that our current currency has value, then it would become worthless overnight.
A staggering thought!
We do not accept currency because it features fine works of art or intricately engraved designs or even because it is produced by an official mint. We accept currency because we believe others will accept it from us later, in return for things we might want, and for no other reason.
In simpler terms, if people in general did not believe in the value of money, money would have no real value of itself.
Power to the people is not a futuristic chant, it's a fact, today.
We collectively, almost unconsciously, have the vital ingredient which supports the whole financial system. If enough of us wanted to, we together could shift this support to something more fairer such as the currency XAT is providing.
We have the ability to give this alternative real value, simply by believing in it.
