Real Money?

Our stowaway has committed the ultimate sacrifice in the execution of its sole purpose, the delivery of its contents; of which we are now in possession.  Two very old and unique pieces of paper are at this point very difficult to read.

One looks like it is mostly writing and the other looks like it could be a map, difficult to determine.  If a map, to what, and will its discerning guideposts be washed away in the up coming Tsunami?  We hope not.

Have pirates been to this island centuries ago?  Have they entrusted their precious cargo to this little oasis?

Treasure, the age old cry of pirates who’s daring and boldness has led to riches, danger and death and from which bounty is not relinquished easily.

So what goes into a coveted treasure chest?  Anything that has a store of value and the more condensed its value, the more precious it is.  Then, upon its liberation, it can be exchanged for goods and is recognized around the world.  What did the pirates prize above most things, what was the great treasure….gold and silver!!!

Our dollar bill can pass the “Transportability” test and it can pass the “Relative Value” test. 

However, for the last 40 years, it “Fails” the “Duplication” test.

“As a result, our currency the Dollar (Canadian or US) is NOT real money.” 

Nor is the British Pound, the Japanese Yen, the Chinese Yuan or many other currencies.

This is the flaw, the fraud if you will, that has led us to today.  It has taken 40 years to get here but the future has arrived.  This is the seed that has systemically grown and led us to the brink of crisis. 

To successfully sail your financial ship through the waters ahead, we must be able to answer the questions;

What happened 40 years ago and more importantly,

What Is Real Money???!!!
