Currency isn't backed by gold anymore - it's backed by collective belief and the constant hum of money printers. The dollar's value exists because we agree it does. This shared illusion powers our economy while central banks create money from thin air.
The true backing of modern currency isn't precious metal - it's the vibrant network of human activity, trust, and endless creation. The printer never sleeps because our economy demands constant renewal.
