Bitcoins will be a lot more valuable than they are already. Well, people might see more merit to cryptocurrency since the amount in circulation is capped by virtue of its very programming. Certainly, its proponents will swoop in to promote it to a people whose cash's value has plummeted to the point of worthlessness. Gold will also become more worth i guess. |

I wonder if any countries would consider bringing back the gold standard? Then again, the cash that said gold would be pegged to is growing on trees now, so... |

Well that ends all air traffic, along with much land and sea transportation. Suspect as a result this would end up as a mass death scenario. Although at least its a lot less destructive than the reverse scenario which would probably wipe out all life on Earth other than some bacteria.  |

'WI The US Suddenly Returned To The Gold Standard?'. This one might belong in Politics and Current Affairs, if it were deemed thread-worthy that is.

'The Big Bang Never Happens'. This would be pretty much pointless, since it essentially means that the empty void remains.

I think it’s more that I prevented it from ever coming into being than killed it (because no universe to begin with means nothing to kill in the first place). But yes, it is a pretty pointless scenario even by Frivolous ASB standards. What about ‘WI Particles Were Sentient Entities?’ They wouldn’t be actual lifeforms, however. |

a lot happens
Most of the present generation does not realize a very simple facet of Economics
ALL FIAT CURRENCY REVERTS TO ZERO
The question is what percent is the gold standard to the dollar You might see an economic resurgence
You would also see war As the countries with out the gold standard would NOT be happy

Ugh that would in most cases I fear add [even greater] corruption to incompetence. Companies, even if not diverted by their CEO's egos and internal culture of power struggles and status issues, are looking for returns, often very short term ones which isn't good at all for any country.
