why would you revive the gold standard??? fiat currency is obviously a meme, but so is the arbitrary value of gold. at least with fiat you can make the money printer go brrr easier, which is much better for the economy. hand wringing over inflation from monetary policy is libertarian shit
Could it be as simple as trying to make gold speculators and currency brains buy up rubles?
there's so few people who are gold heads vs like, the entire financial world Russia does most business with. there's a reason basically all places, including places like China, got rid of gold backed currency for fiat. gold basically puts a soft cap on the money supply, which means you have limits on government spending, which is really bad for the economy because the government does gotta do a lot to keep that running, which requires spending
to me it just seems like a temporary hack rather than a long term decision
