Lakota, una comunidad india de USA con ciertos privilegios, ha abierto un banco donde solo se admite monedas de oro y plata, y además no funciona bajo el sistema de reserva fraccionaria, es decir el dinero no se “duplica” para prestarlo y está siempre todo disponible en el deposito. Es la segunda iniciativa de este tipo en USA. La primera fue hostigada por la Reserva Federal, que tiene el monopolio de billetes y mondea fiduciaria, pero los banqueros de Lakota aseguran que están en su derecho por los privilegios especiales de la región.

About Free Lakota » A New Standard of value

\”Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion…when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing…when you see your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you…when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice…you may know that your society is doomed.\”
\”Atlas Shrugged\”

At the Free Lakota Bank, we issue, circulate and accept for deposit only AOCS-Approved silver and gold currencies. Silver & gold are a store of value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Since we deal only in real money, we do not participate in any central bank looting schemes.

Money is made possible only by those who produce. Paper is not money, instead merely a promise to pay. We hope that some day the rest of the world will awaken from the American Dream: the dream that a person can sustain life by consuming more than producing. We call it the American Dream because you must be asleep to believe it. Well, that dream now has a silver lining; as people discover the dream is really a nightmare, the only solution is a return to value: value that comes from production and honest trade.

Cuando vi la cita “Money is made possible only by those that produce”… era evidente la conexión con el Atlas.
