In 1914 there was a minor increase in the wholesale price index. That index, with a base of one in 1913, had increased to 2.45 by the end of 1918. Beginning in 1919, the speed of the inflation increased, advancing to 12. 6 in January 1920; 14.4 in January 1921 and 36. 7 in January 1922. By the second half of 1922, that index stood at 101 in July; it was 74,787 in July 1923 and 750 billion on 15 November 1923.

"In a few years time, most of the world will be as sick of managed paper currencies as it was twelve years ago. The main trouble will be that popular ignorance and lethargy, coupled with selfish special interests, forces politics into the management of economics and the management of economics into politics. Politically speaking, the world is yet far from being ready for managed paper currency standards." Great article, thank you for sharing

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

Thanks. This might be the cure for the insomnia caused by the price crash.

Still don't get why people are losing sleep over the price crash. We should all be used to this by now.

Simple, when money dies, Bitcoin prevails. It's as simple as that. Bitcoin was invented for that very moment.

No no no no. First, Mises is not a good reference. There is a reason the vast majority of econ professionals look at the Austrian school like an embarrassing little brother.
Second, Bitcoin holds no inherent value, none. There is no transactional benefit in using Bitcoin versus a currency. An internet fad =/= superior system.

Austrian school that is annoying because it is right all the time and the big brother with the power hates being reminded about it all the time. And thank you for making your view on Bitcoin clear instead of just trolling. My ignore list welcomes you. If I wanted to discuss the dollar I would go to bankrate.com.

This is a big part of why Bitcoin and Mises aren't taken seriously. Folks manage to, at the same time, be supremely sanctimonious and plug their ears of any different lines of thinking.

Yes, but i have the fear the dollar supremacy can reinvent itself and keep growing forever.

Well, it makes sense to take the dominant model seriously, since it is at work every day. I don't think you can lay all these evils at the feet of an economic model, however, that's simply lazy thinking.

The hyperinflation in the 20s Germany? It might happen anytime soon these days. Paper is just that - paper.

Kind of misleading.
Fiat might die, but money will not. Society always find a way to exchange good using a medium of exchange (aka money).
