Money plays a big role in our lives. It’s needed for just about everything. Money is basically set on trust. Without the people trusting the government money would not exist. There has to be trust these days with the money we use which is fiat because without fiat money we would have to use commodity such as gold and silver. With fiat money there is nothing to back it up. Once the money is gone, it’s gone. Unlike commodity money, which is not in use anymore, that would have something to back it up. If there were a lot of money to come up missing somewhere it would be ok because with commodity there would be gold or silver to replace the missing money.
