Money is an illusion?

If I asked you the question: “What is man’s greatest invention?”, You’d probably think about physical tangible stuff such as fire, cellphones, coca cola, soap, battery, cars, fashion, architecture, roads etc. But today I’m going to talk about something more immaterial. Money.

Money is just an idea. An illusion based on non-existent values and figures on a digital screen hence the term “fiat currency”. Even though money is an illusion its importance in our lives shouldn’t be undermined. This is due to the importance we gave it. Before money was invented, we used to trade goods and services using a system called Barter Trading System. This system was faulty in that it was inefficient and there were no arbitrary values to be placed on this system nor were there any “judge” or transaction to deign who was right and who was wrong. For example, during that time if I had a pair of shoes and you had a tent and we wanted to exchange our goods for goods. I give you the pair of shoes and you give me the tent, how exactly would you feel about that? Does it feel fair to give up your entire living space for a mere pair of shoes? Rationally it doesn’t.

Another flaw the Barter system had was that it would really take a long ass time for people to come to terms and agreement when exchanging services for services or goods for goods or services for goods and vice versa. For such a system to merely depend on a “double coincidence” of wants and needs for the people shows how inefficient, difficult and flawed it really was. Money is considered by people to be a store of value. Therefore to store arbitrary objects for later trade or use became a thing. Commodity Money started booming. People slowly moved away from the Barter system to a system of leverage where “if you actually have something that I don’t need, it’s fine let’s trade, I’ll trade it later with someone else”. Think about a tomato farmer and a tentmaker. The tentmaker could instantly build a real estate of property tents and possess numerous commodity items and assets as a result of the trading system exchange which would appreciate in value annually because those tents are something that people need. However, the tomato farmer grows tomatoes based on favorable conditions such as soil, water and season. On top of that, not everybody needs tomatoes as much as they would need a place to stay therefore the farmer would find himself owning lesser assets or items than the tentmaker.

Simply put that for something, anything especially money to have any value at all it must be scarce and desired by the majority of the population. If you can get your hands easily on it then it no longer becomes worth it now does it? Its like women. If they were so easy to entice to bed they’d lose their overall value as well as respect in society and they wouldn’t be taken seriously at all but rather viewed as simpletons and sexual objects of pleasure. I digress. When supply is low, demand is high. This is basic economics. The more scarce the item, the more precious, demanded and valuable that item becomes. Money however has become so scarce and hard to acquire in such a way that the gap between those who have lots of it and those who have little or zero of it has widened to unfathomable scales leading to world hunger and extreme poverty in most countries. Although money was generally meant to be a better medium of exchange for the people, those who already were at an advantage to have lots of it such as kings, feudal lords and queens saw a window of opportunity to increase their capital and wealth.

And so a more materialistic form of money was invented. In 700BC in China, the first metal coins were invented although I argue that money started 6000-7000 years ago via the Sumerian civilization as recorded per Sumerian Tablet, I will rather stick with this official history narrative just to prove a point. In China, the metal coins were given a simple measure of value in that if the metal coin you possess is made of 1 gram of bronze then it is worth 1 gram. Pendulum scales and other balance scales were created to measure the value of money. Kings and queens quickly sought this opportunity to maintain their power and control of money. The game was and still is simple. The more metal coins you had/more Treasury bank notes you own today the more powerful you are. However, because the rulers saw that precious metals were expensive and costly they sought another way to mitigate and alleviate this problem.

In 600BC, king Attyales of Lydia created the first meta mints which had less concentrations of the bronze metal and more slimmer on the sides. By making the money mint circular mixing it with other cheaper metals this made it easier to carry money around although the Romans botched this up as will explain shortly. Later, the king of Lydia stamped images in front of the money as denominations and people could suddenly tell or measure the value of money coins based on the image projected from that coin. Think of it like a tattoo. To do a colorful tattoo is even more expensive than to do it in black ink. Or the more drawings/details the tattoo contains the more expensive. Same thing with the metal mints of Lydia. The more surreal the image, the more valuable. This sets the Pendulum Scale and makes things swing into action in society for the citizens.

However, as time went by this measurement became irrelevant when the Romans in trying to produce more money via improvisation i.e. mixing in cheaper metals, the original image measurement technique faded away because the mint coins were so abundant in production that they literally lost their value in the people. Form then on the value of money became determined by what the kings and banks said it was. For example, 1 British Pound Sterling would equal 1 British Silver Sterling until today where $1 is equivalent to R15.

IOU certificates which were like promissory note to pay back the liabilities plus interest

As time went by, people complained that the mint coins were a heavy log to carry around so kings began issuing out IOU (I Owe You) certificates similar to today’s promissory cheque notes issued by banks. People trusted those IOU certificates because they were stamped and signed by the king or queen and so more value, power and trust was given to paper rather than actual precious metals like gold, bronze and silver themselves and that’s when the real illusion of money started to kick in. I’m talking about Paper Money.

Singapore Dollar

Although the Singapore Dollar is no longer in circulation it is worth 7345 U$D and governments still decree it as a legal tender to some extent. Same goes for the Zim Dollar and many others. The Global Reserve can now like the Romans in the past mass produce money out of thin air. Yes you heard right. Out of thin air. While Romans added cheaper metals to dilute and liquefy the mint coins, the Global Reserve can just print out as much money as they need. But there’s one problem with this as was in the past for the Romans. Inflation. Remember what we said about the downside of having too much abundant money available within everyone’s reach? It ultimately loses value while the value of the goods and services increases and the law of supply and demand isn’t satisfied and so the economy might even crash. This happened back in 2008 and it was known as The Great Depression. But they covered it up with a holographic insert drama event called the SARS Virus. What makes you think today’s not the same thing happening with Covid-19? Are they trying to cover up an upcoming economic crash? This is known as the inevitable Black Swan Theory and the company Palantir is well aware of this upcoming financial crash which is why it has stocked up and bought tremendous amounts of actual gold. Other rich investors like Robert Kiyosaki, Warren Buffet, Tony Robbins, Wiz Khalifa, the Weeknd and many others are also investing in gold and Bitcoin etc. They know that this crash is coming and yet your Federal governments keep printing this piece of toilet paper having you wake up stressing about it and blindly chasing after it everyday.

If for example, the US government series to print out 400 billion for numerous F22 Jets, the implied output value of the jets would outweigh the implied input value of paper money produced. Not only would they have to cut down more trees, but things would become even more expensive and the stock market even more unpredictable. This includes lumber, petrol, diesel, food prices, services rendered, metals and other raw materials. Since the 2020 Saturn Jupiter Conjunction and the Corona Virus pandemic, the US federal banks have printed 40% more money in just 18 months than they ever did it their entire existence. It’s true that to wage war indeed costs alot of money but banks seek more money to acquire and maintain more power throughout the world and there’s alot of money to be made in wars or in pandemic eras especially the corporations manufacturing the vaccinations.

To prevent people from getting agitated, thinking too much about Covid-19 and to stop them from causing riots, governments decided to issue out stimulus pay cheques or the so called Relief Distress grants via Sassa, IMF and other channels. It may sound so cool that the government pays you to just sit at home while it slowly takes your jobs and entrepreneurial small businesses away from zealous business starters, it’s actually a double-edged sword because this creates dependency upon the government and thus will cause the citizens to obey the government even more if they want those unemployment checks. This way then, it becomes very easy to manipulate people into taking vaccines inserted with micro-trackers for the government to spy on you and later, like in China to administer Social Credit Scores and decide to give you a job or money based on your aptitude, behaviour and thoughts. It’s a scary creepy world you’re heading to if you not careful of these New World Order global agendas. There’s an Anime Series that explains this dystopian futuristic scenario of George Orwell’s 1984 novel well. The Anime is called Psycho-Pass. I recommend you watch it.

The question is why would you even bother looking for a job when Covid-19 takes them away anyway? Waitresses and waiters in the US earn $2-$3 dollar per hour. Most of the money they make comes from tips. The pandemic made people unable to get jobs at the right place and at the right time on purpose. The initial question from the Stone Ages should be “Why do we have to pay to be alive in the first place? And why pay for funerals too? So why bother? Especially if you do receive some sort of governmental UBI (Universal Basic Income) due to unemployment. And how long will these stimulus checks go on? The government will continue to print out money out of thin air and the debt that it gets into is a result of the Treasury notes and bonds will be repaid to banks enabling them again to maintain the illusion that everything is going well economically through the provision of loans, interests while underneath your nose it is a scam.

You have to understand the etymology of the word “fiat” which is Latin for “Let it be done”. Even the terms that these transnational corporations use are highly suspicious. Why is it that from the harbours when transporting goods overseas they speak of the ship as a “She”. Oh “she is in good shape” and then they say “she has delivered the product“. A mother delivers/gives birth to a baby right? So what does a ship deliver? The product. Who impregnated the ship to deliver a product? The Manufacturers. Even the accounting term such as cash flow is a term referring to money as a water element. Water in that money can travel ashore overseas as currency. Crossing the water currents. Injection (money coming in) and Leakage (money coming out). It’s really not a coincidence that even the diction speaks for itself that the whole money hierarchy system (Pyramid) was planned from a very long time by the elite. Again, I will brief you, it didn’t start in China with the Yellow Emperor but it goes way back to Sumeria and the Sumerian civilization near Mesopotamia where Abraham from the Bible was born and where the first kings (first elites) emerged with laws, maths, science, engineering, art, music, astrology, calendar, agriculture as well as the first account transactions, general ledgers and debts.

Before 2020, the US had a debt of $29 trillion dollars and other countries as well including South Africa and because of this most bank mortgages, subprime loans and high interest rates couldn’t even be offered and prompted to bank clients. Let alone, investing for 10 years on a US Treasury note will gain you 1.2% interest whereas Inflation is deigned to remain at 2% annually. This means that by 2031, you’ll only have around 12% interest. Do you see that investing in fiat currency will not help you? Each time you keep your money in the bank, your money loses values every decade although it may seem stagnant. It may even start to decrease overtime digitally and I’m speaking form experience here. This means you will be able to buy less and less things overtime.

So what should you do? Invest in assets that will appreciate in value faster than Inflation can even cover. Index funds, stocks, company shares, real estate, gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum are the best assets whether current or non-current. And in case you didn’t know: Bitcoin does give you interest. Not just any interest. Compound interest. Because your money will grow exponentially. This is called The Block Chain Technology.
