They don’t want gold as a currency because they can’t fully control it, manipulate it, fake it and so on. Metals are actually real. Sadly, the chickens have come home to roost. Interestingly when you study economics and finance you see a historical pattern where we have a ‘reset’ roughly every 40 years. The match on the current Ponzi scheme was lit in 1971 and its now a full blown inferno. COVID-19 is the straw that finally broke the camels back. The worlds economies have been failing/propped up/failing for years. Think about it - negative interest rates, quantitative easing (printing money), or even worse - digital money backed by nothing and printed on nothing. Fake money. The more they print the greater the eventual collapse. It has helped to destroy the middle class and cause inflation that is so high that you need to earn $150k per year upwards just to have a moderately comfortable existence. The 2008 GFC was the ‘precursor bubble’ - banks, financial institutions and corporations went bust. The big bubble, the real bubble has started to burst - bankrupt countries and we’ve already seen Greece, Spain, Portugal as examples. Now the only remaining and supposedly strong fiscal country Germany is deep in the crap, along with the UK and USA. The USA has a confirmed debt of $23 trillion with real estimates of up to $300 trillion. It was never going to last.
Hold onto your hats, this **** is about to get real.
SPOT ON!
There is 2 choices ahead. Deflation and the markets correct themselves or Hyperinflation. Unfortunately the the GFC taught the politicians that helicopter money, ludicrous interest rates and QE are the only things that "work". They are only going to make it worse and we are eventually headed down the well worn path travelled by Zimbabwe, Argentina and Venezuela.
