In a world gone mad with paper debt ticket orgies, maintaining the purchasing power of one's savings is difficult. The more debt-based currency entries that are created, the more each existing currency entry is diluted. The lag time and unevenness of the price distortions created by such a bizarre out-of-control monetary system hold the system together, as the sheeple, in aggregate, can't put two and two together. Everyone thought real estate was a great store of wealth a few years ago. Now, not so much.

Those who have put two and two together can never go back. Once you break through to the other side of the matrix, there's no ignoring what's happening before our eyes. The value of any currency units saved is being destroyed. Yes, it may take some time for this to be "officially" recognized and it may take time for the things we want to get more expensive, but the value destruction has already occurred.
