For those who are paying attention it is obvious that the global rules based order is ending.
Additionally with all of the financial shenanigans going on in the gold and the currency markets it may be challenging to know where to store your wealth.
Trump wants to devalue the dollar and force other nations to back him on this. Either voluntarily or under duress.
If the dollar is devalued, probably by a revaluation of the gold price measured in dollars it will instantaneously make everything more expensive. It will be as if inflation just got an injection of amphetamines.
To compensate for the loss of purchasing power of your currency units, people are going to demand salary and wage increases. Both the revaluation of gold and the inflationary effects of it will drive prices higher and seriously impact your standard of living.
But here’s the thing.
All of the valuation is being measured with fake currency that is conjured up out of thin air by central banks and commercial banks. As someone once said to me, “Money is just an idea!”
So doesn’t it make sense that ideas can also become a currency that you own and can choose to trade or exchange with others?
What if we were to totally re-invent the concept of value by measuring the positive impact it has on the lives of others instead of a faux monetary value.
Cash in the bank is eroded by inflation and buys you less. It’s not prices going higher.
It is reduced purchasing power of the currency you use.
And remember.
This is a POLICY. Not an accident.
It’s not greedy retailers and factory owners putting up prices but a response to diminished buying power as a result of central bank inflation targeting.
In a world where innovation, improved technology and better methods are allowed to flourish, costs should go down. Prior to the creation of the reserve banks ealy in the 20th century, inflation over the previous hundred years was less than 5%, in total.
As Robert Kyosaki once remarked, “Cash is trash.”
I’d encourage you to consider where the real value is in what you do or sell and work out a way to achieve a voluntary exchange with others.
It’s not quite barter but as you begin to consider the value of what you do and how to exchange it, you begin to see ways to achieve liberty, freedom and autonomy.
