The Holy Grail?

As if back on the sailing ship, everyone jumps into action.  All our training has prepared us for this moment,  breathe, don’t panic, focus on the task, trust the team and trust the captain. 

Glancing around, the confident determination on the faces of the people around us is a familiar sight as we have been tested under pressure before.

The vision of the tsunami is forever etching itself on our mind; a moment remembered forever, its slow unforgiving pace toward us is truly daunting.

Then comes the mental math, how long to pack up, how long to get to the top, how long until the wave arrives, how high is the wave and how high are we, does anyone need help? 

What caused the Tsunami?  What sudden force, what flaw in the foundation, has imposed itself on the water? 

Are there flaws in our financial world big enough to cause a Tsunami?  Will the impact of these flaws be great enough for us to need to seek out higher ground?

We wait the testing of our financial foundation through the understanding of money.  We know two tests, durability and divisibility, others include;  

Transportability - money must be easily transportable, that is why oil, gas etc is not money. 

Relative Value.- the value must make it feasible to be used as money.  Ie Copper at $4 per pound is not

                         feasible.

Duplication - how easy is it to create more? 

So is this the Holy Grail; is this the path that leads us to enlightenment, “Tests of Money”??

Not sure it is clear yet but….. in the mean time, we have some walking to do.
