The U.S. Dollar is Essentially Melting Chocolate

Money Printer go “BURRRRRR”

-Gucci Mane

I think the major issue with public financial literacy is the misunderstanding of what money printing actually is.

You spend you time and your energy to be paid for a job you most likely do not like, but the trade off is fiat money (unless you’re doing some wild job for gold or who knows).

Regardless of what you get paid, you are still putting your time (usually 40 hours a week) and literal energy to do your job (even if it’s a desk one). The time and energy does not vary on your end, but your compensation does.

What I'm is trying to convey is that post 1971 we have been on a fiat system, Our money is backed by people TRUSTING it has value (and the force of the American military some might say).

“The printer only has two speeds: fast and slow. There is no off button”

-Samson Mow

To put this quotation into perspective, the unit of exchange they pay you in for your time and energy is losing value by the second (literally). Everytime they add more dollars into the system, your savings account is worth less. A dollar today...right now, was worth more 24 hours prior (literally).

View your money as chocolate, when the money printer goes Burrrrr, it’s like holding a delicious Crunch bar in your hand on a 95 degree day. You can either let it melt in your hand or eat it quickly.

The fiat system is not one for the “saver”, if you have excess cash in your savings account, as 1984 as it sounds, you’re actually LOSING MONEY. That’s why hard assets will help you in the long run. Bitcoin, gold, silver etc.

Take your chocolate bar and put it in the fridge so you can eat it at a later date (side note: cold chocolate is better chocolate). 21M, finite is value.

Ask yourself this question, “how many dollars are in circulation?” I don’t know either. Truthfully nobody does.

In fact, the federal reserve comes out every 4th Tuesday of the month and tells the public an ESTIMATE of how many dollars there are (total guess). How can you sit there with a straight face and think your fiat savings account has true value if we do not know the true supply of dollars.

Something to think about, none of this was financial advice, go shit in your hat.

Good luck-
