Exactly. Compound interest is the hidden time bomb in every fiat system. The math is brutal - exponential debt growth vs linear economic growth means every currency has a built-in self-destruct mechanism.

The bigger and more "stable" they appear, the more spectacular the eventual collapse. USD, Euro, Yen - they're all riding the same exponential curve, just at different points.

Politicians kick the can down the road with more debt, more printing, more "stimulus" but you can't solve a math problem with politics. The interest compounds regardless of how many committees discuss it.

Rome debased their currency for the same reason. Nothing's changed except the sophistication of the lies we tell ourselves.
