As the United States continues to escalate conflict around the world under the new Biden administration, China is slowly preparing for war with the United States. China, aware of the weakness of the US Dollar, and the economy as a whole, has laid out its new 5-year plan and has made it very clear that if the United States intervenes with China's imminent rise as a superpower, they will be ready to fight. In today's episode, we follow several new reports that expose China's new military might and their upcoming fight against the United States.

Since we are on the subject of Elon, we'll dive a little bit into his projects, like Starlink, Open AI, and Neuralink.

In light of the most recent protests in Washington D.C. and elsewhere in the United States, we are now seeing the start of a war on information. We are not here to argue which speech should or shouldn't be allowed but to create a conversation around the history and implications of the censoring of information on a larger level. In today's episode, we break down the history of censored information, the rise of decentralized applications, banks and money laundering, and the history of fascism and governance.

2021 is kicking off with a bang! This past week's events at the U.S. capitol mark the beginning of the end for U.S. supremacy. In past episodes, we've discussed the concepts brought forward in the book "The Fourth Turning" by Howe and Strauss, which explain how the end of generational cycles can bring forward the most treacherous times in history. What we're witnessing now is a continuation of these events that could lead to revolution and war all around the world. All of this is happening as the U.S. dollar ends its role as the reserve currency of the world and a rise of Bitcoin and other digital currencies that will take its place.

2020 has been one hell of a year. It has brought about the worst economic crisis since the great depression, a global pandemic, shifting world powers, shifting reserve currencies, and will end with a planetary alignment the world has not seen in 2,000+ years. On December 21, 2020 there will be a planetary alignment including Earth, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and their moons. During this same period, our solar system will be ending a 2,000-year cycle from the Age of Pisces and will be shifting into the Age of Aquarius. In today's episode, we discuss these ending cycles and what they could mean for humanity.

The book "The Lord of The Flies" shows a great depiction of society when it begins to collapse. At the start of the book a group of kids are stranded on a remote island. As days go by and no rescue is in sight, the kids begin to think irrationally and do things that only "Savages" do. We pose the question of what a savage really is and if people are inherently savage?

Today's topics: In this episode, Joe and Mike will talk about: Widespread protesting and rioting in the US. The US political parties fighting against each other through proxy in the riots. US Digital currency and its implementation? We are currently in, what looks like a race war. After weeks of being quarantined at home and a shutdown in the economy, state governments began to “open up” the economy. The State and local government have implemented new rules, such as mandating the use of facemasks and social distancing measures. But with these new laws, comes enforcement. Law enforcement have worked diligently to ensure these new rules are implemented even if some are unconstitutional and have caused considerable amounts of conflict between law enforcement and the community it is supposed to serve. Now with increased distrust and animosity between citizens and government, we have a greatly volatile environment which led to the death of George Floyd, at the hands of the Minneapolis police. Since then, angry citizens and groups like Black Lives Matter, are protesting the death of George Floyd. The protests have now escalated to riots that have become very violent and deadly, with at least 12 deaths associated with the riots. While the unrest continues for its 9th night, we are still dealing with the pandemic and economy. Congress is working on pushing new stimulus bills. One new proposed bill is called the ABC Bill, which might pave the way to a new digital US currency. How will the US look like after all the turmoil? Want more of The Nonconformist?

Today's topics: China's ambition as the next superpower and how its political system gives them leverage in global power plays. The US economic collapse and its similarities to the first 40 years of the 20th century. Digital currency race, which will reign supreme? China's spread of influence in the world and infiltration of our institutions. Some snippets from today's episode: As the days go on, we hear more and more about China and it's global sphere of influence, but why is it a threat? Let's look into China's political system. We have the Communist Party of China, the CCP, which is the ruling and only political party in China. Their system isn't a simple communist party like the USSR's politburo and economic system, China uses a hybrid version of communism and capitalism. This formula gives China a global advantage that the West lacks, which is total government control of both public and private business affairs. How is this strategy a strength for China? Well unlike the US and other western countries, China has total control over its citizens and businesses alike. While companies like Huawei and Alibaba operate internationally as a multinational corporation, China still has the last say as to what these companies are doing. This allows China to use them as a vehicle to maneuver the capitalist system that controls the global economy. Because of this system, China has shifted away from global dominance from the US. Now, as the world continues to go into a global economic depression, the US faces a huge issue that seems unmanageable, debt. Are we living in a compressed version of the early 1900's? First, we can look at WW1 and the reemergence of nationalism around the world. Many countries around the world are struggling to work within centralized systems like the EU, which has placed many EU nations at odds with each other. Then we have historians that are pointing towards an economic event that is only rivaled by the Great Depression. All of these situations led the world into WW2 and comparing those events with current ones, it's a very scary situation to be in. Are we repeating the same mistakes? Listen in to learn more!

Today's topics: US connections to Wuhan Lab and the experiments that are held there. China, our social experiment testing site? WHO's medical policy double standards . China's manipulation of the WHO We keep hearing the term “plandemic” floating around the internet in response to our current situation, which combines the effects COVID-19, an economic recession, removal of our freedoms, implementation of draconian laws are all features of the “plandemic”. While the current superpowers struggle amongst themselves, we have opportunists like Bill Gates and other individuals vying for power by shifting healthcare, political, and tech policies in their favor while putting the rest of the world in jeopardy. The WHO is used as the gold standard for dictating health policies that are then implemented within all United Nation participating countries. These policies are used in the US to dictate insurance coverages, FDA regulations, medical procedures, laws, and now it controls speech within the internet. Under Google, Facebook and other social media sites, they have implemented community guidelines protecting the narrative the WHO wants us to abide to. Why is WHO's all enforcing policy making a problem? Let's take a closer look, the WHO is funded by member states and lobbying authorities. The main funding members are the US, China, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Funding members have leverage because member nation's policies can be implemented worldwide.

Today's economic data proves the last 10 years of “the best economy ever” was a mirage. More on Neo-Feudalism and what it means. China was an experiment by the technocrats – Their society was the first experiment next comes ours. The internet has changed all aspects of our lives but what we could not have expected was that those who created many of the tools we use today, would become the new Lords and Policymakers in a Neo-Feudal world. The question now becomes, should we really trust them to influence policies and laws that shape our everyday lives? Take Bill Gates, for example, people quickly forget that that is the person that the U.S. Government had to stop from creating a monopoly with his company, Microsoft. Bill Gates left Microsoft as one of the world's richest men and still is today. He has taken to “philanthropy” to try and “save” the world of its largest problems which has cast him into the spotlight. His experiments range from altering the weather, to tracking vaccinations, and now he is the one influencing the laws that each of us will have to deal with in a post COVID-19 world. Did you know Bill Gates personally has business interests in the medical-industrial complex and mass vaccinations would mean big bucks for Big Bill? Should it really be this way? You see, as we continue to move into a world where the wealth gap gets even larger, meaning the top 0.1% of Americans (Elites like Bill Gates), own the same if not more than the bottom 90% of Americans (You and Us), these elitists will continue to do things that we perceive as good so we don't come after the wealth they have, or riot in the streets because the rest of us are broke while they sit on a pile of cash. We saw the same thing during the period leading up to WW2 after the great depression. During this period the wealth was consolidated among the few elites in America. They were the ones who controlled the wealth and we were the ones working in their factories. John Rockafeller used to donate money to charities and causes, he opened libraries and donated to schools, but that doesn't change the fact that his wealth came at the cost of improper business ethics, a monopoly on Oil, and control of the banking sector. Do we really think this is a man that had “good” intentions for the world? Or was all this done as a handout for the few to skew their minds so they perceived Rockafeller as a good man in the afterthought? In today's episode, we explore these concepts, and many more! Tune in for a Nonconformist's view!

Have you ever considered that what you are watching on tv and listening on the radio may not be what it seems? Have you ever wondered who controls the narrative of the mainstream media? As we continue to move into a world of disinformation and media fakeouts, people are starting to wake up to the fact that there is an alternative agenda with the news and information we see on a daily basis. In today's episode, we look back in history and talk about two programs the CIA ran in the 1960s and 1970s with the focus on mind control and the spread of propaganda through mainstream media. Many believe these programs still exist today and are being used to control our minds to believe whatever is put in front of our eyes. Tune in for a Nonconformist's view!

The media tells us not to worry about our finances because stocks are rebounding but the reality is that more than 16 million Americans have lost their jobs during the same time period so who is lying? We'll leave that up to you to decide.Nearly 1/3 of Americans have not paid their April rent and this is expected to continue in the coming months. Unfortunately, history seems to be repeating itself. As the farming sector continues to take large impacts from the virus, dairy farmers seem to be dumping their surplus of milk. This event also took place during the 1929 Great Depression when farmers decided they rather dumped their milk and destroy their crops instead of accepting pennies for it……or donating it to food banks. This is a tragedy.As the “war” on COVID-19 continues, we are now beginning to see how this health event could be used to push people into the digital economy. Unfortunately, that brings with it the same totalitarian surveillance we have seen in countries like China with their recent social credit score. ID2020 is a fairly new initiative led by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Rockefeller Institute, Microsoft, and other tech companies to track COVID-19 vaccines once they are approved. You will be required to prove your vaccination before being allowed to move freely in the U.S. This might seem like a good thing at first, but without the right checks and balances, it could lead to total control of our population…..Don't believe this is going to happen?This past week, Dr. Fauci and his administration began introducing the idea to the American public for the first time. “It's one of those things that we talk about when we want to make sure who the vulnerable people are and not,” Fauci added. “This is something that's being discussed, I think it might actually have some merit.”We believe this is the start of vaccine tracking. As time goes by, this idea will become more and more known to the public. It could be sold to the people by convincing them it is better to track everyone than to track no one. Time will only tell how this plays out but one thing is for sure, we'll be bringing you the most up to date information during this transition!Tune in for a nonconformist's view!The newsletter the nonconformist, operating under Nonconformist, LLC, is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

We are now beginning to see that some banks and metals brokers are cash short according to the amount of gold they were supposed to have had in hand.

As gold continues to be purchased at the highest levels in recent history, we believe this will lead to a drought on the open market for precious metals. We have been telling our subscribers to load up on metals for months now but the window might soon be closing.Since the current market crash is beginning to look just as bad, if not worse than the great depression, we decided to jump back through time in today's episode and recap what events took place during and after the 1929 Great Depression. As the Fed begins its new stimulus program by printing $6T+ dollars, we can't help but believe that most of the publically listed companies in the US will become nationalized. As the market becomes nationalized, and people continue to become unemployed and affected by the increasing wealth gap, we believe a post COVID-19 world could result in a neo-feudalism society where the extremely rich (Lords and Ladies) control the rest of the bottom 99% of society (the servants).Neo-feudalism or new feudalism is a theorized contemporary rebirth of policies of governance, economy, and public life reminiscent of those present in many feudal societies, such as unequal rights and legal protections for common people and for nobilityTune in for a nonconformist's view!The newsletter the nonconformist, operating under Nonconformist, LLC, is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

Coinbase is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the United States. Just last week, Mr. Brooks left Coinbase to become the second in command at the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This is significant because of the situation the U.S. is currently in with regards to the economy, and a larger currency crisis. The USD is facing mounting inflationary pressure with the Fed printing more than $7T for aid packages in just one week. Last fall, Mr. Brooks wrote about how he feels a digital dollar is inevitable and it is only a matter of time before central banks begin to issue them. We think the current economic and monetary situation now logically call for the issuance of a central bank digital currency by the U.S……if not, the reserve of Bitcoin in an effort to compete with the rest of the world. The second most important topic we discuss today is the importance of online privacy. Right now in the background of the COVID-19 chaos, congress is attempting to pass the EARN IT act which will strip all encryption of online messages. I sometimes here people say something along the lines of “If i'm not doing anything wrong I don't care who sees”. As people, we need to start taking online privacy more serious. You wouldn't expose yourself naked to the world would you? The internet is going to be the last bit of freedom people have in the world and we need to do everything we can to keep it private and secure.

A credit-based economy needs to operate off positive interest rates…and that window is quickly closing.It is now clear that the economy is collapsing much faster than it did during the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis….the charts have just been incredible to watch.In light of all these recent events, the federal reserve has once again started the printing press with an attempt to kickstart the economy by purchasing assets and inflating the money supply. We don't believe this will work because of the fact that monetary policy no longer works at such low-interest rates….we expect to see a rise in inflation going forward. Some of the organizations benefiting from this newly supplied money are the same people who inflated this bubble in the first place: banks and corporations. We will begin to see sweeping bailouts as we did in 2008 for Boeing and many other businesses.With all the chaos going on in the world, you'll need someone to tell you the facts as they are. This is why we are here. This is why we document history.

We have entered a period of which we have never been before. Interest rates around the world are negative for the first time in history, and the United States is not far behind….this is due to change, and the US will join the world with negative rates this year or next, now that COVID-19 is here.On the other hand, bitcoin continues to prove why a digitally scarce asset is so important during the current time period and our future. Since there will only ever be 21 million whole bitcoin in existence, and it can be broken down 100 millionth decimal places (1 BTC can be broken down to 0.00000001), it cannot be inflated (more created) by banks and it rewards people who save it since it will always be worth more in the future. As you'll hear in today's episode, bitcoin has saved the retirement accounts from those in countries where the local currency was inflated to a point where the money was worthless.We're now entering the next growth phase for bitcoin. If you thought $20K was high during the last run-up in 2017 you'll be shocked to hear our price target of $100k during the next bull market over the next few years. Keep following us to continue getting market updates.China has been buying the largest amounts of Gold historically. They have gold mines within their own borders so this number has to be much higher. We think once they announce their true gold holdings, and they are backing their new digital currency with gold, it will be just as significant of an event as Pearl Harbor. Once this happens, the United States will need to react because the USD will no longer have significance as the main reserve currency of the world.Tune in for a nonconformist's view!

In the past week, COVID-19 has started to behave a lot like the once-in-a-century pathogen we've been worried about. I hope it's not that bad, but we should assume that it will be until we know otherwise.3.     COVID-19 is a black swan eventThe black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight.We hope you enjoy today's episode!

If you enjoy our research and want to support us, please share with someone who might be interested in listening! Many of us have been hearing the President's call for negative interest rates recently but do you even know what a world with negative interest rates means for everyday people like us? Did you know that negative interest rates actually cause your wealth to be confiscated (stolen) by a fee that you will have to pay the bank annually to keep your money there?In today's episode we discuss the following topics:What are interest rates?How do banks make moneyHow will banks make money from negative interest rates?What does this mean for my savings accounts in banking?What does this mean for the economy and society?What can you do to preserve your wealth in a negative interest rate worldIt's truly is amazing times. In 5,000 years of recorded financial history, we have never lived in a world of negative interest rates. The United States is now one of the last countries in the world to still have positive interest rates and the way things are evolving, we may join the rest of the world in a year's time. But what do negative interest rates mean and why are they important? If you tune into today's episode we cover all of these questions and try to make it easy for you to understand how negative interest rates will lead to the confiscation of your wealth and the destruction of savings. Luckily, there are ways to prepare for this inevitable transition. One of the ways is to purchase gold, silver, or other precious metals. Precious metals are important because there is only so much in existence on earth and countries have always flocked to them in times of economic uncertainty. As a matter of fact, countries around the world have been buying the largest amounts of gold historically to prepare for the coming economic / currency crisis. We here at the nonconformist have been trying to prepare you for this event and now you can see the rest of the world is preparing too. Much of this is not being discussed on mainstream news but you can trust we're here to shed light on what's being hidden from you.Where can you purchase precious metals?An example of a credible website is APMEX (https://www.apmex.com/) APMEX allows you to buy and have precious metals delivered right to your door. Why buy physical? Because if you don't hold it, you don't own it.Store these in a bank safety deposit box, safe, or somewhere where no one will find themYou can sell your metals back to APMEX at any time. If not them, you can go to any pawn or gold buying shop locally.What's another way you can preserve your wealth? Bitcoin.This is still considered a semi risky bet so only invest as much as you're willing to lose.Here at the nonconformist, we support the use of Bitcoin as an escape from the current financial system. Only 21 Million Bitcoin will ever exist with just over 18 Million are already minted. As negative interest rates take over and fiat currencies like the USD lose value from increased inflation, we believe people will turn to Bitcoin to save their wealth.Where can you buy Bitcoin?For starters who want exposure? Coinbase works fine (https://www.coinbase.com/)If you plan to buy Bitcoin I highly recommend purchasing a cold storage device like this Trezor: https://trezor.io/start/Then watch this video on how to purchase and store Bitcoin on the Trezor: We hope you enjoy today's episode!

Western culture and influences on society over the past few millennia have done a disservice to humans by villainizing these amazing gifts from the earth. Not to mention the treatment of indigenous peoples and shamans who have been teaching these sacred rituals under scrutiny from the church and state. It's finally time people become aware that they were right this whole time…..Mushrooms can and do heal you.In today's episode, we discuss a few different types of mushrooms that are helping humans and saving the bees!

We interpret this quote to mean that paper money such as the U.S. dollar, and all other currencies around the world are merely ghost's to what was once money. These currencies are no longer back by gold, which has always been considered hard money and a store of value. These paper currencies are only as valuable as the countries that back them and no longer by sound money. We are now entering a period where sound money will be more important than ever. As the U.S. continues to inflate its currency, gold, bitcoin and hard assets will be the only way to preserve wealth.Today's topic: Recession indicators are screaming and economic downturn may have already begun.Talking point 1:The Fed has printed more than $200B for the first time since the 2008 global financial crisis. This was done as a result of a liquidity issue in the repo markets (overnight lending). What is Repo Market? A repurchase agreement. A loan that is secured by treasury collateral itself. When banks need loans to cover their own transactions in overnight lending, they turn to the repo markets for short term borrowing to cover these loans. In short, there was not enough cash to cover the overnight lending that needed to occur. This could be due to the amount of debt in the market. When debt is high and banks are not able to service the debt, cash will dry up and therefore liquidity in lending dries up. The Fed needed to step in and provide liquidity (or print) more money in order to keep the lending markets afloat.Why does this matter?This is the first time the Fed has had to inflate the money supply since the global financial crisis in 2008. This is also one of the first indicators that the economy is unstable and there could be problems around the corner. We've discussed how credit is an illusion of money in past episodes and this event proves our point. Talking point 2:Corporate debt reaches $19T with roughly 40% of all businesses unable to service it.The IMF warned that almost 40%, or around $19 trillion, of the corporate debt in major economies such as the U.S., China, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Spain was at risk of default in the event of another global economic downturn.Why does it matter?40% of all major businesses around the world are unable to pay back the debt they owe. This is due to cheap lending at or near-zero interest rates over the past 10 years. These 40% of businesses that cannot pay back their debt are walking zombies….when the downturn comes, they will begin defaulting on their debts which will trickle into the banking industry and snowball into a larger liquidity crisis. This is another indicator of economic instability.Talking point 3:China aims to become a leader in blockchain technology. Last week during a press conference, President Xi Jinping reported that his country will embrace blockchain technologies across its economy.Why does it matter?Game theory. Once one country adopts a technology as significant as bitcoin and blockchain, they must all adopt it in order to avoid missing out. We support decentralized digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Monero here at The Nonconformist and this news will drive adoption into these currencies and technologies.

The Federal Reserve System, often referred to as the Federal Reserve or simply "the Fed," is the central bank of the United States. It was created by the Congress to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. - federalreserve.govHave you ever wondered why you see the word “Federal Reserve” on your dollars? Or have you ever wondered why your grandparents seemed to live a better life than you in terms of the value of their money? They were able to afford a house, buy a car and send their kids to college all on a single stream of income many times. This is all due to the value of money which has changed over time due to the Federal Reserve Bank. Many people are aware that the value of money has changed over time but are not aware that this is caused by a private bank who lends to the U.S. Government. The problem with the Fed is that its mission is to create a more stable monetary and financial system, but we never actually got that since its creation in 1913….and now we're beginning to see how unstable the global economy actually has become.The other problem is that the Fed along with the U.S. government has the ability to print more money out of thin air. This can be dangerous because it can lead to high inflation and the destruction of wealth by the people who hold the currency. This type of banking was influenced early on in U.S. history but many of the founding fathers hated central banks and even abolished them several times in the U.S. prior to 1913, Thomas Jefferson being one of them.In today's episode, we take a dive into the history of the Fed and explain what they actually do.Tune in for a nonconformist's view!

Have you ever considered that the events you see play out daily around the world are actually influenced by the economy and those who run the machine? Take a look at the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vest Movement) that has been happening in France since last fall….This movement is being fueled by wealth inequality and taxation but the real culprit is the economy and those who control it (central banks). In one of the last episodes, we discussed how bad the wealth gap currently is. What you should understand is that the wealth gap is what drives social unrest and in turn, political movements. This is important to remember when you hear noise in the media. Don't just pick a side but understand the picture as a whole.This chart shows us how bad the wealth gap is. Since 2010, the top 0.1% of Americans controlled the same amount of wealth as the bottom 90%. This means that the richest in America own the same amount of wealth as the rest of us (bottom 90%). It's also not coincidental that we're seeing a rise in populism in politics now just as we did before WW2 when we had the same wealth inequality. When there is a large wealth gap, and the rest of society is suffering economically, people will side with politicians who promise to get them out of that reality. This is exactly why people sided with populist politicians who lead their countries into WW2 (Hitler for example). This is the true danger of our current world and one we follow closely at The Nonconformist. We have experienced war and we take these topics very seriously.How did this happen? One cause was the injection of Trillions of dollars by the Fed since 2008 that only made the wealth gap even worse…..This chart shows how much the money supply has increased since the housing crisis. Even back in 2012, our President knew what this experiment would do to the economy….but that attitude has now changed:It's important to keep an open mind when considering why the world is the way it is. Sometimes the reason is much more than right or left, much more than Democrats or Republicans. It's important to take a larger view of the economy and the factors that drive society to where it is today. To learn more tune in for a nonconformist's view!

What you've heard is that this economy has been the best in U.S. history….and they are not wrong. The growth in the U.S. economy over the last 10 years would make one think all Americans should be rich by now…..but you and I both know that's not the case. Let us take a step back for a moment….. If we've had the best economy in U.S. history, then why is the wealth gap so bad? Are you even aware of how bad the wealth gap really is?So bad that the last time this has happened historically was when John Rockefeller was building those mansions in Newport, RI…..Yup, it's that bad, although, I do love visiting those estates during the holidays :) If the global economy has been so good, why are global bond yields negative and peaking out at $15 Trillion dollars? Speaking of bonds….the bond bubble is about to pop as well. Global bond markets are dumping to the lowest levels in history.We have not recovered from the 2008 crisis…..it is actually worse. The goal was to inflate the money supply with the hopes that it would reach mainstream Americans but as we've learned, that money only stayed in banking and the stock market. That folks is why the stock market has been the best in history, the manipulation, and creation of money that never reached you or me.Listen in for a nonconformist's view!Sign up to get updates!

We are living in truly amazing times. Mainstreet media might be telling you the U.S. economy is sound and the healthiest its ever been but that is all false. The Federal Reserve has once again begun to start up the printing presses to inflate the U.S. money supply in what seems to be the start of QE4.2020 will kick off a first in 5,000 years of recorded financial history…..negative interest rates. That's right, you get paid to take out a loan in this world. The system wasn't supposed to function this way and it won't be long before the U.S. joins the rest of the world with negative rates. In futures episodes, we'll cover more analysis on why the economy is entering recession/depression territory but here's what you need to know:A recession (we argue depression) could be just around the cornerThe bond markets are failing globallyYour dollars continue to be devalued through inflationYour 401k & pensions are at riskYou should be looking at ways to preserve your wealth through an economic downturnHow does Gold or Bitcoin help me preserve my wealth?Gold - has been considered a store of value by people for thousands of yearsBitcoin - just like gold, is increasingly being used to save the wealth of families in countries whose economies are collapsingGold & Bitcoin - additional gold or bitcoin cannot be created unlike your U.S. dollars so it will hold its value through inflation due to recessionsIf you're interested in learning about how to prepare for a pending economic collapse tune in to today's episode for a nonconformist's view!

What is money? Does it grow on trees?This is a funny joke we've all been told our lives but do you really know what money is or why the U.S. dollar (USD) has value? In a world where we are expected to earn dollars, spend dollars, and save in dollars, not many people really know what the USD is or where it comes from. Why is this important? It's important because inflationary currencies lose their value over time. As you can see, the USD has lost much of its value since its inception in 1913. BUT HOW?!?! The conformist asks? INFLATION says the nonconformist…..Inflation is something else that no one really understands. Alan Greenspan, head of the federal reserve (1987 - 2006) explains it best in this one sentence. Do you think you're getting ahead by accumulating dollars in a bank account each year and hoping to have more value in the future? Think again. If you're curious about what inflation means and how it relates to your family's future wealth, you should really listen to today's episode.NO INFLATION! says the President…..But Mr. President, how do you explain this growth in US money supply since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis? Isn't growth in money supply the same as inflation? In todays episode, we break it down and explain how the U.S. dollar came into creation, what it's value used to be, and what it's worth now. We also cover what inflation really means. The hope is that you come away from this episode with a better understanding of what the value of those little papers in your pocket really are.Listen in for a Nonconformist's view.Be Different.
