@Teeri-Alpha I know currency in itself the purpose behind it is to support 'transaction' between market place, I know currency itself has no usefulness beyond that. I only need it to buy things in the market place, it's the market place that has the importance and the goods, products, services available. People attach to 'money' as they think this is the 'value' when it's not, it's the actual product, goood, service your seeking.
I realized this when I saw my money sitting in my saving account, it doesn't grow by itself, it has no inherent purpose on it's own unless of course u put in a high interest account which requires a 'certain cash quota'. But what u need to answer me is the deep economical hatred you have for 'fiat' and if it's justified or imagined.
Why does it matter to you what the govt decides is the 'currency' in market place, no-one wants to trade in gold anymore, it's cheaper printing currency, then continously going to a gold mine in another nation(political contention) and digging up more gold to balance your market place. After all we have come to firm agreement currency has no value beyond it's purpose of buying and selling. We could use even 'rocks' does it matter? as long as it's agreed to by society and printed by a 'trusted' source among us.
The reason black market counterfeit currency is rejected and hated in market place is the sole reason it isn't printed by 'trusted' source like a government, people then fear if they accept this currency they lose their product or goods or services and then not be able to use that money given to them as the market place didn't 'agree' to some guy in his house printing money. I think with a global econom that is pushing possibly 50 trillion 'per year', we simply cannot dig, extract enough gold to keep up with gold standard anymore and with economies being projected to continously grow it could lead to situation gold mines are depleted and cause a global crisis of epic porportions.
global GDP is around 85 trillion, anyways, if the state printed a set of fiat currency and locked the keys and never ever increased it, it will be worth even more than gold, but its so tempting, no state has ever succeed in controlling her self, the US dollar being the best has lost 96% plus since 1914, imagine the others,
a 2% inflation wipes out the currency in 34 years through compounding, imagine places like Ethiopia, India etc with 12% inflation, and that is a lie, real inflation could be much higher but the states cook the books,
this why Ethiopia doesn't worry me as an OG, it will collapse insha Allah, imagine a GDP growth of 8% but inflation is 18%, that is like your salary going up 8% but your debt goes up 18%, you not better off end of the year, specially when that loan is eaten, not invested, atleast if you invested in the loan to make income you can have an asset to pay off the debt, then corruption hurts them, this is why they cannot finish the dam, no money, it gets stolen,
its my best enemy, an enemy that begs the IMF for 74 million $, they begged IMF 6 times, this year they got 3 billion which will be paid in 3 years,
i like this enemy, an enemy that cannot import more than 1 months oil supply, an enemy with big red tape state where the agencies eat the state from with in, a state with 70% under 30 years of age, perfect protesters, because the state needs to create 3 millions each year, they can barely create 30K jobs, perfect enemy,. weak institutions, big military parasite, Hungary 110 million people with social media opening their eyes,
a state that cannot attract FDI, aid from INF doesn't make economic growth, you need investors but thanks to their bad actions they chase away private investors,
as an OG, i have analysed and understood my enemy,
