Mojon, te saco un extracto de Hayek principal defensor de la banca libre en Denationalisation of Money
Las criptomonedas y la banca libre sobre se impodran como reserva de valor si garantizas que NADIE en la sociedad tenga una moneda referenciada al oro, o garantizada por el estado y eliminas TODOS los privilegios. Ante ese riesgo, y dado que las sociedades van a seguir necesitando comprar petroleo y recursos, creo que el patron oro en las monedas nacionales hace falta como guardian de valor para los ciudadanos.
Gold standard not the solution
One might hope to prevent the violent fluctuations in the value ofmoney in recent years by returning to the gold standard or some regime of fixed exchanges. I still believe that, so long as the management of money is in the hands of government, the gold standard with all its imperfections is the only tolerably safe system. But we certainly can do better than that, though not through government. Quite apart from the undeniable truth that the gold standard also has serious defects, the opponents of such a move can properly point out that a central direction of the quantity of Inoney is in the present circumstances necessary to counteract the inherent instability of the existing credit system. But once it is recognised that this inherent instability of credit is itself the effect of the structure of deposit banking determined by the monopolistic control of the supply of the hand-to-hand money in which the deposits must be redeemed, these objections fall to the ground. If we want free enterprise and a market economy to survive (as even the sup- porters ofa so-called 'mixed economy' presumably also wish), we have no choice but to replace the governmental currency monopoly and national currency systems by free competition between private banks of issue. We have never had the control of money in the hands of agencies whose sole and exclusive concern was to give the public what currency it liked best among several kinds offered, and which at the same time staked their existence on fulfilling the expectations they had created.
It may be that, with free competition between different kinds of money, gold coins might at first prove to be the most popular. But this very fact, the increasing demand for gold, would probably lead to such a rise (and perhaps also violent fluctuations) of the price of gold that, though it might still be widely used for hoarding, it would soon cease to be convenient as the unit for business transactions and accounting. There should certainly be the same freedom for its use, but I should not expect this to lead to its victory over other forms of privately issued money, the demand for which rested on its quantity being successfully regulated so as to keep its purchasing power constant. The very same fact which at present makes gold more trusted than government-controlled paper money, namely that its total quantity cannot be manipulated at will in the service of political aims, would in the long run rnake it appear inferior to token money used by competing institutions whose business rested on successfully so regulating the quantity of their issues as to keep the value of the units approximately constant.
