I believe he is trying to point out that fiat currency is losing its status as money as it is no longer a store of value.
'is losing' is a trend, not a situation snapshot.
Alike the difference between a price trend and a price.
He said, and repeated "the point of our debate now? You say silver is money I say it isn't."
"It IS" is clearly a snapshot, not a trend.
I say that dollar, euro, etc fiatcurrencies are money.
That gold and silver are money.
Everything that people use in roles of money, implicites the declaration of it as money.
It's as simple as this.
So no, I still can't see the point of the discussion.
All this is about, is a competition between kinds of money.
Silver is clearly used by people as money, in the monetary role 'storage of value'. Today.
The price didn't triple since 2008 due to industrial demand tripling.
But due to monetary usage of silver tripling.
How can this be denied?
