Biden Will Extinguish The Dollar
- Biden Will Extinguish The Dollar

If president Biden wants to save the US economy, his first measure should not be to print $trillions of worthless new money but instead tell his secretary of the treasury Janet Yellen to withdraw all debased currency from circulation just as Aristophanes suggested in 405BC, Copernicus in 1517 and Gresham in 1560.

There is only one problem with withdrawing the debased dollars… THERE WOULD BE NO MONEY IN CIRCULATION AT ALL since all dollars are totally debased.
…
THE BIG SWINDLE
The problem with paper or fiat money is that you can’t evaluate the fineness. The fact that $100 in 1971 has been debased by 98% is impossible to tell since it is still called $100 although the purchasing power in 2021 is only $2!
–
And this is how governments and central banks continually swindle their people by debasing their money without the people’s understanding or knowledge.
–
Imagine if Biden instructs Yellen to take all dollars (bad money) out of circulation and to replace it by good money – gold. Good money could naturally not be another fiat currency or digital money but would have to be gold backed money. There are many ways to calculate what the gold price would need to be, depending on which measure for money supply is used.
–
But if we take US M3 which is a broad measure of money supply, and 100% gold backing, that would value gold at over $70,000. This is obviously not a forecast but just a theoretical calculation. And as we know, gold is an international currency so China and Russia would have a major say in this issue.

Also, it is very questionable if the US has the 8,000 tonnes that it officially declares. There has been no full physical audit since the 1950s when Eisenhower was president. China and Russia declares holdings of around 2,000 tonnes each. But China’s real holdings could be well in excess of 20,000t and Russia’s also well above the official 2,300t.
