The ISIS gold standard makes sense since it only runs into trouble during a rapidly expanding local economy scenario.

I don't think you can have a viable economy based off selling stolen artifacts and bootleg oil let alone a currency based off that but who knows.

Well it does, it has a bunch of practical uses. You could take a gold coin and use it for any number of chemical, electrical, or physical applications. It is also pretty and shiny and that affects it's price though. You could pick some other precious metal like Rhodium though that's mainly used for commercial catalysts, but those are still potentially subject to price swings due to advances in technology either favoring their use or phasing it out.

So you think practical value is intrinsic value? Please look up the definition of the word 'intrinsic'. The only thing that has intrinsic value is human life, and that's only if you believe in God. Therefore, nothing has intrinsic value.

lol @ people implying 90% the ruling elite in Saudi Arabia aren't totally fine with an ISIS take over cause they're the ones funding them.
