10/19/25, 02:50No.519248466What exactly is hyperinflation?Many people say the next economic crisis will see the U.S. plunged into hyperinflation. Because the petrodollar system is dead, the dollar is about to depreciate into worthless paper.
What exactly is hyperinflation?
I've studied Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic, but it's still hard to grasp an economy where a huge pile of cash can only buy a pack of cigarettes.

I've heard this my entire life, and yet everyone all over the world is desperate for USD. Go to any street vendor in any shithole across the world and offer them USD or their own shitcoins...they always choose the USD.

10/19/25, 03:13No.519249887It's not going to happen.
People keep mentioning 'muh Weimar' (just like they do 'muh fiat' or 'muh sound money') but the USD as a currency unit doesn't solely or exclusively comport with its nation of origin, nor the economic fate of that nation alone.
In other words: the post-1980s global reserve currency era of USD and treasuries, it is the *default* worldwide debt note fiat currency unit that more than 140 nations are dependent on, for a myriad of things incluidng trade and sovereign debt payments which must be transacted paid and contracted in USD denomination
There's a theory from 30,000 feet view of this called the Dollar Milkshake (invented by Brent Johnson) look it up
Global system is a Debt-Based Economic Model
founded on and supplied by one predominant reserve currency (took several decades post-1944 to become this) denomination, the USDthe dollar is *everyone's* problem
When the global debt aka bond market implodes, so goes it allhttps://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/500310690
