GM #nostr, quick reminder to study #bitcoin.. 💜🧡

It happened in 1923 Weimar Germany. And it can happen again…

“There were stories of shoppers who found that thieves had stolen the baskets and suitcases in which they carried their money, leaving the money itself behind on the ground; and of life supported by selling every day or so a single tiny link from a long gold crucifix chain. There were stories (many of them, as the summer wore on and as exchange rates altered several times a day) of restaurant meals which cost more when the bills came than when they were ordered. A 5,000-mark cup of coffee would cost 8,000 marks by the time it was drunk.”

- When Money Dies: The Nightmare of the Weimar Collapse by ADAM FERGUSSON WILLIAM KIMBER — LONDON, 1975
