Currency reset

Foreign Banks have been buying gold and silver for several years. Why? Because they expect the value of fiat paper currency, especially that of the USA to at least become devalued or even to collapse and revalued. As a Nation we owe over $38 Trillion to bond holders. The financing alone on that amount is astronomical. I want to hear the political rhetoric of who accuses who when the bill comes due which could be anytime. Anyone with half a brain can see this can't go on forever and eventually the bill comes due.

The US has been blessed to have the dollar as the standard around the world. Oil is based on the dollar by political agreement many years ago. Confidence in the US is waning as we are considered a consumer country that produces very little any more. Even with the news about the amount of personal debt, credit card debt just passed $1 Trillion, people are spending money they don't have in record numbers this Christmas alone. The average American consumer is heavily in debt and refinancing their homes if they have equity to obtain some extra spending money each month. It is plum nuts. No wonder the average consumer doesn't pay attention to the US National Debt as they don't care.

I have been convinced for years that the dollar will collapse and our currency and economy will be revaluated. Common sense would say that it can't continue on this road forever. Then add to the other nations who are trying to get their act together including the BRICS which is Brazil, China, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Ira, Russia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates. Their goal is to eliminate the power of the US dollar and have their dollar be the new standard. We have done everything we can to ensure that will eventually happen.

So why gold and silver? Because it is one of the many commodities that retains its value and is recognized world wide. Countries purchasing it has pushed the prices higher and higher. Imagine China when the US government goes into default and revalues their dollar. China buys a lot of our bonds used to pay the debt off each year. Would you rather put your faith in the US dollar or gold and silver?

Where I think this all breaks down is if the US economy does collapse and a bartering system emerges what value is silver and gold going to be? You can't eat it and how do you trade it for something? To me, this just ushers in AI and digital currency which then monitors every citizen to avoid over spending and controls every dollar you have. The reasoning is that is the only way to get this massive debt and revaluation under control. Just my thoughts and opinions, I have no inside sources but common sense tells me this system cannot last.
 
Barely back into the top ten after being off the list for awhile, but I don't expect it to last. If we lose world bank currency status to a stronger currency the dollar will crash- badly:






The following list presents the top ten strongest world currencies in order, based on their value relative to the US dollar as of late 2024/early 2025
. The strength of these currencies is often a result of factors like significant oil reserves, economic stability, and fixed exchange rates or currency pegs.



1) Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD)$3.25
2) Bahraini Dinar (BHD)$2.65
3) Omani Rial (OMR)$2.60
4)Jordanian Dinar (JOD)$1.41
5)British Pound (GBP)$1.27
6)Gibraltar Pound (GIP)$1.27
7)Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD)$1.21
8) Swiss Franc (CHF)$1.17
9)Euro (EUR)$1.09
10)US Dollar (USD)$1.00

For what it’s worth, go to Ramsey Solutions then go to retirement calculator. The handy thing about the calculator is gives you the opportunity to run various scenarios and and decide what may be best for you, and how much time you are looking at to get to where you want to be.
Start with using 5 year increments including 5 years past when you currently want to stop. Even add one year at a time. But
5 years can make a tremendous difference in the money you could end up getting.
It’s based on using a low cost S&P 500 Index Fund. Keep that in mind.
Also the amount of “seed” money you start with can make a significant difference.
Everyone wants to retire early but that scenario doesn’t work for everyone.
Plus the earlier you retire, the more likely you are to run out of retirement money. No one needs that. Also consider the earlier you retire, the longer inflation will be working against you.
So what I'm getting from all this is that there's really no long term wins when playing at the casino....got it, and thank you for the reminder..LOL.

I’m not sure what part you are criticizing but if you’re in the stock market there will be ups and downs, but you don’t get compound interest in many other investments. Maybe you just want to be a smart ass or think you are, but like every other thread on the forum take what works for you and feel free to leave the rest. My point is there are many variables and strategies and this is a tool to see which works for you. It might give you different ideas than when you started. If you already know everything you can skip these steps.

Sorry I offended you.

However, if I go to the Bahamas with a stack of Kuwaiti Dinars and try to buy lunch at McDonalds' they will turn me away. So for my purposes, Kuwaiti Dinars are just pretty paper.
Like I said. Being a World Bank Currency is what is propping up the dollar. Our dollar value is based on faith in the U.S. government and it's willingness to pay it's debts. THAT has slipped quite a bit these days. Without World bank status it wouldn't be taken quite as easily now. In 2010 our national debt was 13.5 trillion. In 15 years we have added 24.5 trillion dollars. If you go to the Bahamas and paid in Euros they would be happy to take it.
