Salt makes better currency

Have you ever asked yourself why gold is expensive and it can be used as currency? I guess most of us know why. but ill explain anyways so you understand my reasoning. Gold is one of the most stable element on earth, it does not corrode easily, thus making it some sort like indestructible. Gold can be stored for hundreds of years and you will still have gold at the end of the 100 years. If we were to use iron as currency, a hundred years later we would have rust. Anyway iron can be sued as currency too. Lets get back to gold.

So as usual i was bored and got lost in thought. Suddenly it struck me, gold as currency is a failure, mean while salt as currency is really efficient and practical.

Lets compare both materials.

firstly:
Gold: Stable
Salt : Stable

Leave salt and gold in separate boxes an bury it hundred years later we dig out the boxes and gold is still gold and salt is still salt

Secondly:
Gold: Does not dissolve in water
Salt: Dissolves in water

One might argue that gold is on the winning side of the ring in this case. I would like to clarify this flaw in thought. Lets create a hypothetical situation.

It goes like this. Just imagine u have a friend overseas and want to transfer him some money,for this case lets assume that the only currency is gold. We can assume other currencies to exist, the argument will stand any test. So it takes time for the gold to reach your friend. but if we were to use salt, your friend can collect the salt at the nearest beach even before u deposit the salt into the sea.

And again people will make fucked up statement like this is not practical because everyone can collect salt and be rich. For those who thought of this i would like to wish a happy go fuck yourself day. Why do you ppl have problem for othe ppl being rich, ull be rich too, so be happy and enjoy. Anyway even gold is mined and its is given a value by people. If Gold were to exist everywhere everyone will have it and be rich. And probably corporations and goverments will own the land and make full profit out of it. The values for things are determined by people so fuck it.

Thirdly:
Gold: expensive to mine
Salt: No need to mine, unless u are talking bout salt mountains, but still cheaper than gold.

Anyway even if salt is used as currency in the future, i will be paid royalty for this idea in salt, haha. So big deal it doesnt matter. Secondly people will get greedy and screw it up. We will start was for salt, and many will try to obtain the beaches so they can enjoy all da salt.

By the way, even petroleum can used as a gauge for currency and used in trade why cant salt be used.

The purpose i wrote this was to show the true nature of humans. It is called GREED. Nothing is enough. Everyone wanna be better than the other although they are not. The proverb "the grass is greener on the other side" does not apply. Even if your grass is greener than the other side we people still wanna have more. So hope u had a nice enlightening read.
