Would you buy a stock that you believed would be worth less in the future? To most, that is a silly question with an obvious answer. But what if I asked, would you agree to be paid in a currency that would be less in the future? To most, that is a question they
If you’re reading this, I suspect that you already have a good understanding of the fraudulent nature of our monetary and banking system (or are well on your way to figuring it out). But how do you communicate that knowledge to someone who has no idea? If you’ve ever tried, you know it’s not easy.
