While I know you’re not a fan of crypto, I think many folks would benefit from reading the first few chapters of The Bitcoin Standard. It does a great job of explaining what “money” actually is, and how a century of political chicanery has lead us to this precipice of fiat failure. Inflation isn’t misunderstood by those in power, it’s abused purposely for greed and increased power. A return to the gold standard would rob them of this advantage, and they know it.
There's no doubt crypto has contributed to a growing understanding of exactly how out of whack our monetary system is, regardless of whether or not I believe in BTC long-term, as I point out. Thanks for taking the time to comment. -C
The gold standard never kept banks from overborrowing /lending. Look at history. FDR confiscated gold because he wanted to spend more money, and bought the citizens h old and promptly revalue it, stealing from his own people by revaluing it up from $20 (what he paid the people for their gold) to $35/Oz. Of course. The gold stanandard was in effect at the time. Didn't do anything.
The greedy politicians stole from the people, and STILL didn't bring stability.
Bitcoin mechanism is very cool and a hopeful development for the future. It's current price is what I am skeptical of as the crypto market is still small enough to be quite vulnerable to the same inflationary tools the fed uses in the "real" economy- though stablecoins like tether.
There are still so many people that don't care, or maybe don't want to, because even an explanation like this is too complicated for them and they don't want to try. Until there is a vast majority of people united (unlikely after all we saw in 2020) that the fed and Congress have royally screwed everyone's personal finances, I don't see much happening until prices become beyond inflated.
So, here is the solution for many things, and the answers to a few unasked questions.
First, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS INFLATION. Inflation is a propaganda term concocted by Ashkenazi tribal bankers to cover their "fractional reserve lending" tracks.
It gets CHEAPER to produce and distribute goods over time, NOT MORE EXPENSIVE. Thus, inflation MUST BE FALSE. What you have been fooled into calling "inflation" (don't blame US BANKERS! Things are MORE EXPENSIVE! lol, no.) is actually the DEVALUATION OF YOUR CURRENCY.
For information on this, please see the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.
The SOLUTION is to ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK, and return the control of the printing and issuance of currency TO THE CONGRESS WHERE IT BELONGS. Then re-establish our money as something that is NOT AN INSTRUMENT OF DEBT, BUT RATHER AN INSTRUMENT OF COMMERCE. This single act will remove USURY from the FOUNTAIN HEAD OF OUR MONEY SUPPLY, and restore prosperity in this country.
Sound money, printed and issued by congress, backed by precious metals (SILVER, ideally) IS HOW YOU ESTABLISH A MONETARY SYSTEM. What we have is a fiat money ponzi scheme masquerading as a financial system. The US dollar is literally a DEBT PYRAMID. The more you print to dig yourself out of debt, the more in debt you get. By matter of FACT, it is IMPOSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE THE "NATIONAL DEBT" WHILE THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK EXISTS!!!!
There are 3 things they don't want you to know about:
Ok, I’ll bite. How DO we sidestep this reset/dollar collapse? Gold - check. Bitcoin - check. Real estate - check. But these are only a small portion of my assets. Most of the rest is in “cash” with about 40% in equities. I’ve moved more than half to cash to sidestep the crashing of an overvalued market but then I’m subject to inflation. I would love to go buy more land but at these prices I’m afraid now isn’t the right time. Meanwhile the markets keep going up and I continue to underperform. But hey, at least I sleep at night (and so does my family).
Smart move... You always should be aware of the "Wsyer of the United States" rule that would give the feds control over your water supply.
The Obama regime entered this as a RULE (NOT a law), removing the woerd "Navigable" from the rule, giving the feds the right to monitor, cap, shut down your well that feeds your crops.
If you have arable land in Arkansas, where the water table is very high, and many rural properties have springs and other water sources, many not recorded in the official records anywhere.
One way to reduce the severity of the coming inflation, is to reduce the size of the population. A sobering thought, in light of experimental vaccines, huh?
"The Secrets of the Federal Reserve: The London Connection" is a must read. The US lost financial independence well before we were taken off the Gold Standard. The banking cartel has ended many a President, and made many attempts on many other Presidents.
Sorry to say I'm totally ignorant about how monetary policy works, as ignorant as many are about my field (health care). Is there an article you could point me to to help me understand about how central banks work, what is the function of the Federal Reserve, and how QE works? Thank you.
So "the end is coming," is a theme going back to the beginning. Jesus saw "the Kingdom of God" as being in the near future and on and on it has gone for civilization in general ever since. Billy Graham used to preach regularly.
Will this inflation be like the 70's and 80's or like Germany in 1923 or the Confederacy in 1865? Some more exact predictions would be more helpful. This is where one seems to be saying something while actually saying nothing. For a more scholarly analysis of the current spike in inflation see Dean Baker or Paul Krugman.
Oh and your end is near comments. Don’t be a scoffer it won’t work out too well for you
2 Peter:
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Ricky, I have long wanted to be in contact with a prophet. I have two questions for you. 1. Is Einstein's General Theory of Relativity correct? 2. If a thousand years is like a day and a day is like a thousand years, what is time?
I am when of those who was introduced to the workings of the financial system thanks to the gateway drug of Bitcoin. I am a firm believer in the possibility it holds. Any of the arguments I hear against it I feel can be applied to any asset. Gold is analog economic technology, and the world is increasingly being digitized. I'm sure you are aware of all the arguments for Bitcoin, and I won't go over them again, but so many smart people, way smarter then me see it's possibility and they all can't be wrong. But that being said I am open to any outcome.

The gold standard was never a good option. Backing the money with SILVER keeps it in the reach of the average citizen. Never read "The Wizard of Oz"?
Thanks for the reading recommendation. I'm adding this to my reading list for when I learn how to read

While it seems the fed may have painted themselves into a corner, make no mistake it is intentional. This inflation is all by design, I’ve seen this movie before …. https://bagholder.substack.com/p/creating-generational-wealth
Good read...all ready for the PM liftoff.
Better be wise about how you will be able to sell it incognito when the time comes. That's the part the grifty dealers never tell you.

Read the book “creature from jekyll island”. Very well written. More like a detective story/mystery that keeps you entertained while informing you.
Great post. This, and the Jacobin article recommended by Trader Ferg have an odd synchronicity:

1: Einstein was completely wrong about most things. Intentionally.
2: Time doesn't exist. You're only TOLD "time" exists. If you can prove to me what you've been told is correct, then please do so.
I did not say that time exist (whatever "exist" might mean). I asked "what is time?"
And in case you're wondering, no, time travel does NOT exist.
I was not wondering. Can you read?
Time is a made up construct designed to get you to work "on time".
I do not go to work.
