Economics 101

out of the brick a brac in the image below - can snyone guess whats worth the least ?

in the last 100 years , something strange has transpired ! here , where i currently sit , in the uk ( this principle does differ slightly from country to country - i just found a silver dutch guilder from the 1940's- so presumably, what i am aiming to demonstrate here took hold a little later on the continent, but its rife the world over now ) but , here in the u.k , in 1920 all of our currency was made of pure copper ( pennies and thrupence), pure silver - ( sixpences , shillings , half crowns ) or pieces of printed paper that stood to represent vaulted gold ( those big white victorian fivers you may have seen ) but basically - the wealth if the nation was minted into coinage and we used to carry it around with us to maintain an economy through a metered exchange of precious metals for goods and services ....does that make sense so far ?? then in the early twentieth century , due to wars and woes , and shortages of metals , the purity of the coinage droped to about 50% !! and between 1920 and around 1960 that became the standard accepted means of trade ! i think - im talikng roughly here - around the late 1970s we came off the gold standard - south africa seceded from the commonwealth and our currency started to be made out of the nikel and chromium and paper promissory notes!! the basic fiat model that we use today - subject to yearly inflation ( that means the value of the currency goes down every year - requiring more labour to earn less value as time goes on ....still with me ?? so since 1920 , up till now 2024 ( lets round it up to 2020 - and what a year thar was ) so over 100 years - the wealth of the nation was swapped from precious metal to scrap metal - the value of our labour has indeed gone down - house prices - fuel prices - liqueur - wheat - all basic goods and services have all gone up in price but the value of labour cant match inflation because it is in essence a debt based economy - so we wager the value of potential de nobt for an individual over the course of a lifetime - instead of the actual value of productive labour as yelded per annum by that same individual ....still keeping up ?? now gold - Gold has retained its value as a commodity for well over a thousand years ( based on desirability and scarcity ) Silver , Silver has been trading sideways ever since the 1920s , other than the occasional glut in the market or shortstop and mass stock dumps that have deliberately effected the inflationary match rate compared with gold over the years !! still keeping up ?? so now , as we pay £5 for an alcoholic beverage , quarter of a million pounds for a basic domucile , with these plastic notes and nickel coins that they give us peasants to play with ... where did all of our gold and silver go ? and what do you think the trend will be if we now go one better and have a pretend currency in an artificial digital reality ?? we used to carry gold and silver with which we could buy timber , bricks , foodstuffs and transport - now we are using plastic money - to buy plastic goods ie trainers and mobile phones 😆 now remember i mentioned that gold has held its value for a thousand years ....what do you reckon your trainers will be worth in a thousand years ? your mobile ?? your cheap ass taylor whimpey house ?? your netflix subscription ?? now consider the price of an ounze of pure silver ( about £30 - £1 a gram as a spot price ) and consider the price of gold on the gram being roughly equivical to an ounze of silver .... now consider the price of a mcdonalds ? a can of coke ? a bag of weed or a gram of cocaine ?? you have all been completely sucker punched into trying to outdo each other for plastic money to procure platic tat that will deliberatly vanish before your very eyes - the trend , youll need more and more plastic money to secure the things you have become accustomed to !! so you can stuff this digital economy and its bit coin indoctrination method right in your ass you mentally ill fuckin halfwits and fuck right off 😆

plastic monopoly money to buy a load of old crap without accumulating any real tangible wealth 🤑 ....fucking willful peasants x
