To all my US friends, Serbia went through the Hyperinflation, let me paint a picture of what to expect if that was to happen. You receive a pay check at 9AM, lets say $1000. A loaf of bread is $10. By the time you finish work that day, that same bread is already $50. I kid you not. Litterary like that. If you have a place on the countryside where you can be as self sufficient as you can, that is the best bet. If you dont, think of the ways where you can make your self as self sustainable as possible. Just to survive. Another thing, if you dont have your own place, this is a serious issue. At least most of us own our own homes in Serbia, i cant possibly imagine what would mean if you need to pay a rent every month. Its not possible. You got to think about that now, just so that you can survive. All the best from across the pond.

In Germany my grandma was born in 1908 explained me one thing, I will never forget. It was 1979 and I was a child. She said:"There is one thing about money I have to explain to you". She showed me a 1 Trillion Reichsmark from 1924 in one hand. And I was very impressed and told her, that she is unbelieveable rich. No, she said, but it is to difficult to understand at your age. But there is one thing which you should never forget. If you switch the TV on and and anyone speaks about trillions of Deutsche Mark, you need this. She opened her second hand. This was the first time a saw an ounce of gold. Thanks grandma❤

Sure that doesn't have anything to do with 50 years of realestate being propped up explicitly so that an entire generation could retire more easily? This isn't caused by the fuckin fiat currancy, its been caused by decades of NIMBY bullshit, stupid as shit zoning laws, and wage stagnation, all fueled by realestate investment. A gold standard wouldn't have changed sweet fuck all about the housing market, its fucked because we don't build enough homes of the kind people can actually afford, thus renters are forced to pay insane rents, justifying releastate investment groups buying up housing to turn into rental units. Those same investment groups own the companies that buy land and build houses, and control city governments to decide what gets built where, and will NEVER allow enough homes to be built to devalue their holdings.

It‘s not becoming worthless, I study business and all you need to do is save your money. The banks are affected by inflation and therefore nominal interest rates increases. In the shortrun prices may rise due to sticky wage and sticky price but on the long run if you had saved your money in the banks and not hold it in cash it would also grow. Therefore the real value of the dollar hasn‘t changed. Example if you could buy a pizza with 5 bucks back then. In 10 years it costs now 10 bucks. If you had saved your money before 10 years the compounding interest rates on that money would have made you richer/wealthier than you were back then and therefore you can afford the 10 bucks pizza now. Value hasn‘t changed really. Easy you just have to trust the government. And the government also won‘t fail to deliver. The ponzi scheme will go on forever

Your theory is thoughtful and raises some critical points about the nature of money, gold, and economic growth. Let me unpack and address your observations step by step: 1. Gold and Perceived Value You’re absolutely correct that gold, like fiat money, has no intrinsic value beyond what humans assign to it. Its historical value stems from: • Scarcity: Gold is a finite resource, making it less susceptible to over-supply. • Durability: It doesn’t corrode or degrade over time. • Cultural and aesthetic appeal: Its “shininess” and malleability made it desirable for decoration and coinage. However, at its core, gold’s value is entirely subjective-much like the value of paper money today. 2. Fiat Money and Its Role Fiat money differs from gold-backed currency in that: • Its value is derived from trust in the issuing government and its economy. • It allows for flexibility in monetary policy, such as printing more money or adjusting interest rates to respond to economic conditions. Fiat money supports economic growth because: • It provides liquidity to fuel transactions. • Central banks can expand or contract the money supply to stabilize the economy. • It enables credit and lending, which are essential for investment and innovation. 3. The Constraints of a Gold-Backed System A gold-backed system could indeed hinder growth for several reasons: • Limited supply: The amount of money in circulation would be tied to the amount of gold, restricting economic expansion. • Deflation risks: If the economy grows faster than the gold supply, prices could fall, discouraging spending and investment. • Inefficiency: Physical gold is cumbersome to trade, store, and transport. • Stagnation: With fixed supply and value, banks and governments would struggle to adapt to new economic realities. 4. Inflation and Economic Flexibility Under a fiat system, inflation is a tool, not just a problem: • Moderate inflation encourages spending and investment because holding cash loses value over time. • Interest rates (set by central banks) incentivize or discourage borrowing depending on the economic climate. In contrast, under a gold standard, the inability to print money would force economies into rigid frameworks, often causing severe recessions or depressions during crises. 5. The Ponzi Scheme Argument Your analogy comparing fiat money to a “Ponzi scheme” stems from its dependence on trust and constant expansion. While this argument has merit: • Fiat systems are sustainable as long as economic productivity grows. Unlike Ponzi schemes, they aren’t inherently fraudulent because the value created by the economy backs the money. • Gold itself doesn’t escape this issue. Its value is also a social construct, and relying on it wouldn’t eliminate speculative behavior or economic imbalance. 6. Modern Insights In today’s economy: • Fiat money thrives on velocity and trust: Rapid transactions and the ability to adapt to economic changes are its strengths. • Gold serves as a hedge, not a currency: Its value today is more about preserving wealth during times of crisis rather than facilitating trade. If we reverted to gold, we’d likely see: • A slowdown in growth: Due to the fixed supply and lack of monetary flexibility. • Economic inequality: Countries with more gold reserves would dominate. • Innovation stifling: Credit and investment would shrink, as they require liquidity and confidence in the future value of money. Conclusion You’re right: gold, like fiat money, has no “real” value-it’s all about human perception. But while gold is finite and stable, it’s impractical for modern economies. Fiat money, despite its flaws, has proven better at supporting growth, innovation, and dynamic economies. The challenge lies in managing it responsibly to avoid the risks of inflation, debt crises, and loss of trust. Your observation about the inherent limitations of any monetary system is insightful. Ultimately, whether it’s gold or fiat, the system’s success depends on the collective trust and productivity of society.

Gold is a store of wealth as chosen money manipulators can't counterfeit it and fiat is a fraud that's been used to enslave humanity since antiquity.

The flaw is thinking that the uber rich actually earned it. Not only is the work to build that wealth disproportionately rewarded (i.e. workers aren't rewarded properly for their contributions, re: frozen minimum wages for decades), but also so much tax money is diverted to float these barons to earn more wealth through lobbying of government spending, bailouts, etc. often under the dogwhisle term 'job creation'. So the top end of wealth is not all earned, it is largely taken and not given back. Capitalism can work for everyone IMO, but only when it is practiced fairly and moderated strictly. Regulation and enforcement of capitalist economies are constantly being undermined and erroded by those same powerful wealthy entities, who keep grasping to control and earn more through privatization on matters that should not be monitized (i.e. health, education, incarceration, housing, etc.)

The worst part of this documentary was when they described hyperinflation around 30:00. They repeated the mistaken assertion that high inflation will transition into an inflationary collapse, loss of confidence in the currency and hyperinflation. This is completely incorrect. Hyperinflation results from economic and governmental collapse. Hyperinflation is not characterized by an inflationary spiral. Rather hyperinflation results from a breakdown in the productive processes in the economy or a failure by government to provide law and order. There is no hyperinflation that was triggered by an inflationary spiral. We have seen Turkey run a 30% inflation rate for over 3 YEARS. If that doesn't trigger a hyperinflationary spiral, then what inflation level is required? Argentina has run an inflation rate over 30% since 2018. Their inflation rate hasn't been below 100% since February 2023. Their inflation peaked at over 270%. Is this hyperinflation? In fact, inflation in Argentina is currently decelerating. And yet I still hear this stupid assertion that high inflation will lead to hyperinflation.

@smolceo
@smolceo Ай бұрын
Your theory is thoughtful and raises some critical points about the nature of money, gold, and economic growth. Let me unpack and address your observations step by step: 1. Gold and Perceived Value You’re absolutely correct that gold, like fiat money, has no intrinsic value beyond what humans assign to it. Its historical value stems from: • Scarcity: Gold is a finite resource, making it less susceptible to over-supply. • Durability: It doesn’t corrode or degrade over time. • Cultural and aesthetic appeal: Its “shininess” and malleability made it desirable for decoration and coinage. However, at its core, gold’s value is entirely subjective-much like the value of paper money today. 2. Fiat Money and Its Role Fiat money differs from gold-backed currency in that: • Its value is derived from trust in the issuing government and its economy. • It allows for flexibility in monetary policy, such as printing more money or adjusting interest rates to respond to economic conditions. Fiat money supports economic growth because: • It provides liquidity to fuel transactions. • Central banks can expand or contract the money supply to stabilize the economy. • It enables credit and lending, which are essential for investment and innovation. 3. The Constraints of a Gold-Backed System A gold-backed system could indeed hinder growth for several reasons: • Limited supply: The amount of money in circulation would be tied to the amount of gold, restricting economic expansion. • Deflation risks: If the economy grows faster than the gold supply, prices could fall, discouraging spending and investment. • Inefficiency: Physical gold is cumbersome to trade, store, and transport. • Stagnation: With fixed supply and value, banks and governments would struggle to adapt to new economic realities. 4. Inflation and Economic Flexibility Under a fiat system, inflation is a tool, not just a problem: • Moderate inflation encourages spending and investment because holding cash loses value over time. • Interest rates (set by central banks) incentivize or discourage borrowing depending on the economic climate. In contrast, under a gold standard, the inability to print money would force economies into rigid frameworks, often causing severe recessions or depressions during crises. 5. The Ponzi Scheme Argument Your analogy comparing fiat money to a “Ponzi scheme” stems from its dependence on trust and constant expansion. While this argument has merit: • Fiat systems are sustainable as long as economic productivity grows. Unlike Ponzi schemes, they aren’t inherently fraudulent because the value created by the economy backs the money. • Gold itself doesn’t escape this issue. Its value is also a social construct, and relying on it wouldn’t eliminate speculative behavior or economic imbalance. 6. Modern Insights In today’s economy: • Fiat money thrives on velocity and trust: Rapid transactions and the ability to adapt to economic changes are its strengths. • Gold serves as a hedge, not a currency: Its value today is more about preserving wealth during times of crisis rather than facilitating trade. If we reverted to gold, we’d likely see: • A slowdown in growth: Due to the fixed supply and lack of monetary flexibility. • Economic inequality: Countries with more gold reserves would dominate. • Innovation stifling: Credit and investment would shrink, as they require liquidity and confidence in the future value of money. Conclusion You’re right: gold, like fiat money, has no “real” value-it’s all about human perception. But while gold is finite and stable, it’s impractical for modern economies. Fiat money, despite its flaws, has proven better at supporting growth, innovation, and dynamic economies. The challenge lies in managing it responsibly to avoid the risks of inflation, debt crises, and loss of trust. Your observation about the inherent limitations of any monetary system is insightful. Ultimately, whether it’s gold or fiat, the system’s success depends on the collective trust and productivity of society.

@ sorry mister but you literally just put out the same argument critics are making and didn’t defend the current system all you did was write down the benefit without explaining the main reason we’re here because of the Ponzi scheme, The argument here is why the US owned trillions more than they could pay and don’t use their taxes to pay but ask for more and more money made out of air yes it does keep the US rich and wealthy as long as the countries support it when they decide to leave or in this presence of cooperate world with constant change when the markets get tired and want change US can’t pay anything what so ever the only reason why it still stands is countries will also loose when it does go down so they try hard for it to go on and keep stacking up it’s just a matter of time, and for your argument that gold is the same is just blatant ignorance when economic grown is going on there is a market that will shot up the prices of gold it’s not like there is no money left, and yes any country that has more gold will have more capital course that’s how it goes even with anywhere that’s reality any country with a good port shipping and industrial infrastructure will see more wealth who are you to say this country deserves more than the other? After all we are all people, gold prices shot up with demand and go down with no demand most of you claim here are not clear and most are just outright false

@@smolceo @ sorry mister but you literally just put out the same argument critics are making and didn’t defend the current system all you did was write down the benefit without explaining the main reason we’re here because of the Ponzi scheme, The argument here is why the US owned trillions more than they could pay and don’t use their taxes to pay but ask for more and more money made out of air yes it does keep the US rich and wealthy as long as the countries support it when they decide to leave or in this presence of cooperate world with constant change when the markets get tired and want change US can’t pay anything what so ever the only reason why it still stands is countries will also loose when it does go down so they try hard for it to go on and keep stacking up it’s just a matter of time, and for your argument that gold is the same is just blatant ignorance when economic grown is going on there is a market that will shot up the prices of gold it’s not like there is no money left, and yes any country that has more gold will have more capital course that’s how it goes even with anywhere that’s reality any country with a good port shipping and industrial infrastructure will see more wealth who are you to say this country deserves more than the other? After all we are all people, gold prices shot up with demand and go down with no demand most of you claim here are not clear and most are just outright false

you mean 1 USD The USD is worth much more because there is much more and higher quality to buy than 1900. It doesn't matter if you have 1 dollar and the price is 0.1 or you have 10 dollars and the price is 1 or you have 100 dollars and the price is 10....

ah someone intelligent, finally. people refuse to understand that we are in an economic period called "Modern Money." And it's not a theory, it's reality. Modern Money says as long as you are the comptroller of the world's currency you can print as much of it you like but only for the GOVERNMENT'S own use, which we do.

The stock market and economy at large over the last 15 years was a result of 8+ trillion dollars in FED Quantitative Easing. I find it highly and mathematically unlikely the FED will do that again. When QE was launched en masse back in 2008 inflation was not a problem. There was actually some minor deflation occurring at the time. If the FED were to restart QE again under current conditions, and drive real yields on bonds deeply negative once again, the FED will quickly find itself the exclusive buyer of all government bonds. The Federal deficit is around 2T a year but the Federal government is rolling over maturing debt meaning there are 7+ trillion dollars worth of UST sales per year. There is zero way the FED can print and buy 7 trillion dollars worth of government debt every year without causing double digit inflation.... ... I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 210k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Aldona Šabanienė’s, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

My comment is, as we know we are all in an corporation from birth, so the counties debt is ours, a way of carrying on is this, all the assets we think we own belongs to the corporation, everything from homes, land, and all the small things inside the place we live. These things can them be very heavily taxed to pay for the debt, If and when we decide to sell.

Massive hole in this argument. Standard of living only declines because the value of the dollar is diluted but as long as people are paid inline with inflation I.e. they are paid the equivalent dollars adjusted for inflation, then there is no loss of purchasing power, all other things being equal. So question is why has the value of labour declined. I don’t think this has anything to do with there being more dollars in circulation but the fact that gov, in concert with big business, have undermined the value of labour by ensuring that more of share of profits go to capital rather than labour.
