Can you not be a libertarian and still believe in sound money?

Absolutely

But it does not make a ton of sense. But you can believe in whatever you want and call yourself whatever you want. Labels are becoming more and more meaningless every day.

As a matter of fact, I know many people who are 'democrat leaning' or 'republican leaning'(many whom convinced themselves to vote party line) who are 'fond' of the idea. I don't expect open arms, but it doesn't seem like we're talking to a wall on this issue, most of the time.

I'm not a libertarian

And I believe in sound money, as well as property rights and contract law. Am I confused like the poster below says? Nope, I simply feel that the libertarian philosophy and the libertarian party go against each other.

sound money means protection of property rights right down to the monetary unit. If someone believes in sound money then they ultimately are libertarian otherwise they are confused. Other ideologies violate property rights in some way.
