Practical Use and Limitations of
Personal Money in Today's World
Part 1
The first thing we MUST realize in our effort to create "money" is that it takes just 2 people. That's because a real-life buy/sell type transaction, an exchange, has to occur.
You can't just go out here and print up as much 'currency' as you want and say you have money. If you could do so, you would just be creating fraudulent, counterfeit, money, which IS what our own Government and the Federal Reserve are doing to a great degree, if not completely, in actual practice. That's because there is no "value" supporting such action. This is the main cause of inflation, which is a hidden tax that robs a great percentage of your value from you continually, mostly without your even knowing it.
The second thing we want to realize in our creation of money is that it cannot be practical, of course, if the money created is limited to just two people. That would be only a tiny bit more useful than simple barter. So we need MANY people to be involved for the maximum potential to be realized through the availability of a great variety of goods and services which we all need and want in everyday life.
For the sake of commonality between all people who may want to actively participate in the Riegel Exchange System program, described and explained in the next section, I want to establish 2 things at this point right now:
- We will henceforth call the money we create and use, as well as the form used to express it, the "Riegel", as compared to the USD, Euro and etc., and will designate it as "R", as compared to the "$" for the USD.
- Secondly, we will equate the Riegel at par with the USD, at least initially, for ease of utility and also for ease of comparison, until such time as we are comfortable using it.
The very simplicity of money-creation tends to overwhelm most people when they first look into it. That is due to the vast array of complexities which have been created , deliberately, for the express purpose of confusing the average person regarding this subject.
Right now you're probably thinking "Well why on earth would anyone do something like that?". In truth, the answer to that is as simple and incredible as the very creation of money itself.
The bottom line is that if ANYONE other than yourself controls your ability to issue money as you see fit, then they effectively control your very destiny in every way, form and fashion. You can argue with that all you want, but it WILL NOT change either the truth or the reality of that statement. Needless to say there is an endless supply of 'experts' who will try to convince you otherwise, mostly through a multitude of, you guessed it, "complex" reasoning and arguments.
You see, the very basis of ALL freedom is founded in our unfettered ability to Buy and Sell, to exchange, to 'contract' with other individuals as we see fit.
Remember back at the beginning I asked if you could use an extra $100 to $5,000 in buying power every month? Who would logically say NO to that question? Would you?
Well my question to you is "What is keeping you from having that additional purchasing power right now, on your own?". Obviously, your ability to both buy and sell is controlled by someone else, through THEIR ability to tell you how much 'money' you have access to at any given time. Now that's CONTROL!
Now what are the practical issues we need to look at in creating our own money? The most obvious limitation you will face is your ability to find the products and services you desire within this new System. Of course the more people and businesses that participate the better it will quickly become.
So no, you will not be able to start this and immediately be able to replace all business you currently do in USDs with your own Riegels. It will take some time before we can all reach that capability. But it WILL get there.
I believe that by the end of 2008 the Riegel will pretty much be a household word and commonly used by TENS OF MILLIONS of individuals and small businesses across the U.S. and even in many other countries. People like yourself will very quickly encourage this reality simply by helping yourself become more prosperous and by telling others how they can do the same. How? Just by offering your own goods and services for sale in Riegels as much as is possible and by seeking to purchase the things you want and need from others who offer them in Riegels as much as is available.
And this of course is the main reason people will want to learn more about this whole Riegel Exchange System process and get involved as quickly as it launches. But, besides the obvious fact of bringing immediate purchasing power to you, there are several other benefits you will immediately realize with the completion of every Riegel exchange you do.
One such immediate benefit you will realize is that every time you buy something with a Riegel ( which YOU can create as needed ), you are freeing up an equal amount of hard to come by, limited USDollars for things that MUST, at this time, be purchased or paid for with USDs, such as taxes, various services and other necessities not yet available in Riegels. This will quickly allow those scarce USDs to go a LOT further and additionally increase your sense of immediate wealth.
Another benefit you'll soon start to see is your ability and desire to actually begin to create additional streams of income from profitable business opportunities you can form and/or participate in that you would never have even considered before. That's because the very act of creating one's own money unleashes our natural built-in creative forces that are GREATLY inhibited in the current political money system.
Thirdly, because of the different basic foundational structure of your money system, the Riegel Exchange System, product quality will once more begin to show up, and the incredible amount of waste that is built into production currently ( as a requisite of the ever greater need to meet the growing DEBT due to usery and fraudulent money creation by government ) will cease, and use of the earth's resources will be greatly preserved. A BIG, BIG plus!
Right now, let's actually DO a simple make-believe exchange between you I, OK? And don't get all concerned at present about how and where this would evolve if it were real. All of that information will be covered shortly, in the second section following.
