US Dollar officially dead: IMF Officially adds Chinese Yuan (RMB) to SDR basket of currencies (World Reserve Currency Shift)
EVERY fiat currency in human history has eventually either been hyperinflated to the point it goes to zero value, or just plain goes to zero. Quickly or slowly, more than 600 fiat currencies have been reduced to their intrinsic value of NOTHING.
The thing that most people don't understand--because they are never taught this in school any more--is that another interesting monetary fact is this: So far, every time a fiat debt-based currency has been created, it was created on the back of a gold or silver based non-fiat currency, and it is replaced with a gold or silver based non-fiat currency.
You would think that, if enough people shared this information, more people would be prepared for what's coming, and they'd be trading in their "zeroes and ones" and their "pieces of paper or plastic with ink on them" NOW, while they still have the opportunity to do so.
Since gold, and now silver, are rapidly flowing by the megaton to the east, those in the west would be VERY wise to get what they can, while they can, because there may come a time where it's simply not available here any longer. If it is, it will have an amazingly high premium!
It will be far better to have some early, than to try to scramble to get it later, at a much, much higher price!
Under IMF decision, Yuan will join SDR
