Instead of holding your assets in dollars, hold them in a currency that remains far more stable, and keeps it's value over longer periods of time.

Or go for hard assets like gold, silver, food even, if your concerned about starvation in the future.

Investments in tangible things that can produce in the real world are also great ways to protect your money from the inflationary pressures of the government.

By doing these things, rather than buying government bonds, or keeping your money in dollars, you can effectively eliminate most of the control that central bankers have.

If nobody trades in dollars, dollars become little more than printed paper.


Also institutions could possibly beat the central bankers if they created their own currency for trading, and backed it with hard assets, and low risk, industrial and agricultural investments, as well as other hard currencies.

If a business model could be figured out how to eliminate the problem of the cost of managing these assets, then it could possibly work.

I'm thinking that what this organization could do is have an exchange rate of 0.95%, then they get five percent of the value of the assets that are poured in. Furthermore, whatever wealth they acquire over inflation with the money they invest from holding onto the currency could be used to power the corporation, thus allowing it to maintain managing the currency, and increasing the currencies stability.

This might not be ideal for the rich, but it could certainly work out well for the lower and middle class individuals who need a place to put their money and don't have financial advisors to help them invest their money in low risk investments.

What do you think?

I kind of see coins, of gold, silver, copper, nickel, becoming the people's currency. And a lot of barter.

Whether it's in 50 years or 500 remains to be determined.

I'm investing in hard assets like AR15's.

Unlike dollar bills, I can always trade them for what it cost me to get them.

If a Democrat wins the US presidential race, they will even increase in value.

Guns & dope. Way better than those silly little pretty coins.

Yep - useful stuff.

The AR-15 was adopted over the older .308 rifles because you can carry a lot more ammo for the weight, and within normal fighting distances it's plenty accurate and lethal. Remember, one round, one Other Tribe'r. Waste not want not.
