The Chinese didn't invent a form of currency that was backed by nothing, they invented the idea of a certificate that was backed by physical holdings. I'm sure if you could go back in time and tell the Chinese that in the future, governments and central banks would move to paper currency backed by nothing, they would be shocked. And their immediate response would probably be to say that if the certificate is backed by nothing, then its just paper that has no value.
MAKE SURE YOU GET PHYSICAL SILVER IN YOUR OWN POSSESSION. Don't Buy SLV, or Futures or Pooled Accounts or any other BS paper silver product .Remember anything on paper is worth the paper it is written on. Go Long Stay long the bull market have even started yet
