Very cool thanks!

I have one of those 100 trillion dollar bills... Sits right infront of my monitor so I am always reminded of what happens when you let printing presses control the supply of FIAT currency...

40th year mark in about 3 weeks... from my understanding, no FIAT currency has ever lasted longer than 40 years...

Fiat money can last longer than 40 years, but the average time frame for failure is around that benchmark.

Typically the State will destroy the money supply within 40 years.

I'm shocked this post isn't getting more attention on here.

It's so simple, powerful, and eloquent in its delivery.

The only note I looked at older than the 1970's was the France 5 livres.
So that is very intriguing.


Everything else is extremely new from modern history's standpoint.
This just further proves to me how many economies shuddered in the last few decades.
Almost as if they are all test runs for the big drag race.
Who can print the most worthless note.
How much fiat currency can be printed?

Now if we could only point the blame to just one person.
Or a group of people...

Soros?
Bilderbergs?

It's called the State.

If you want to blame someone, blame the people who run around with guns taking everyone's money.

If you want to blame someone, blame the people who force us to use fiat currency in the first place.

If you want to blame someone, blame the people who think they know how to spend your money better than you do.

If you want to blame someone, blame the people who allow the fraud of fractional reserve banking to take place.

Since we both have a fondness for pictures mnemeth1, I thought you might appreciate this one, especially given that it dovetails perfectly with your subject matter.
