YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The U.S. dollar used to be backed by gold — and it’s not farfetched to think we may be headed there again in the future.

History shows us that the same cycles repeat time and time again. One such cycle is related to currency devaluation.

Once people start to lose trust in the fiat system, we see a specific cause and effect reaction occur.

1) Governments print a lot of money

2) They pay off the debt with the cheap money

3) Nobody wants to hold the devalued currency

4) Governments go back and link money to gold

Will this same pattern happen again? It’s hard to say, and it wouldn’t happen anytime soon. But it is conceivable.
