i believe thomas jefferson is ranting against private institutions controlling the supply of money,because in those days,america's money supply was controlled by private banks and institutions.....he wanted the establishment of
a central bank under the control of the government....i quote "the issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people" he did not ask for the issuing of fiat money to be stopped,only who controlled the issuing.
do u know thomas jefferson was one of the early adopters of fiat currency and took america off the gold based economy for a short while?the economy boomed like crazy and the depression stopped until they went back to gold currency again.
watch the goddam documentary.....
currencies going down against gold and silver?are u living in 2012?look at historical gold charts for christsake,gold has never gone anywhere in the last hundred years except occasional spikes when there was periods of high inflation.
now u said gold may not be the answer,maybe its bitcoin,you have no idea...im telling u fiat currency is the answer....watch the goddam documentary,its how u issue it and how much u issue...thats the answer
and bitcoin is decentralised??its another goddam manmade currency,if u make it popular and widespread enough wont it become centralised?anyway bitcoin is worse than gold......the supply of bitcoin is so limited that even gold is more plentiful......gold is 10 ^7 times more than bitcoins,any currency that is limited is easily controlled,any currency easily controlled is easily manipulated to cause market fluctuations....look at how unstable bitcoin is,one moment its $30 the next its more than $200 and the next its back down to $60.
Sorry I have not watched the video yet.
However IIRC, Jefferson was against the central bank idea. This is in wikipedia and many other sources on the internet:
First Bank of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Officially proposed to the first session of the First Congress in 1790, Hamilton's Bank faced widespread resistance from opponents of increased federal power. Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and James Madison led the opposition, which claimed that the bank was unconstitutional, and that it benefited merchants and investors at the expense of the majority of the population."
