About this episode

 I’m going to warn you in advance that today show is completely a conspiracy theory. Whether this conspiracy theory resonates with you or not, I leave entirely up to you. I’m here to convince you or anyone of anything. I am merely observing what I see in the marketplace, and trying to make sense out of it.

Debasement of currency has been going on for centuries. During the Roman Empire, the metal in coins whether it was gold or silver in the Roman denarius was whittled away by progressive emperors. This was essentially a form of theft. Shaving the edges of the coins also became common practice. Modern day version of printing money simply involves the addition of a ledger entry in a database.
