What happens when hundreds of millions of market participants come to understand that their money is intentionally engineered to lose 2% of its value every year? ๐
1) Accept the inevitable decay, or
2) Try to keep up with inflation by taking risk.
๐งตHow does this end?๐
Money must be invested, meaning it must be put at risk of loss.
Because monetary debasement never abates, this cycle persists.๐ซง๐
Essentially, people take risk through their โdayโ jobs and then are trained to put any money they do manage to save at risk, just to keep up with inflation.
It is the definition of a hamster wheel.
Run hard just to stay in the same place.
