Our Broken Money
Our current monetary system forces us to run exponentially faster just to stay in place, while real wealth drifts ever further out of reach.
The K-Shaped Reality
We live in a world where Wall Street gets 30% richer doing nothing, while Main Street must work 30% harder just to maintain their position. This isn't a bug in the system - it's a feature. The current monetary paradigm systematically transfers wealth from the many to the few through a process most don't even understand.
The Impossible Game
Consider these real-world examples from our current system:
• A million dollars in savings buys 34% less stock than it did just one year ago
• Housing prices rise 27% while wages remain stagnant
• Retirement requires 20x more capital than it did a generation ago
This isn't just unfair - it's mathematically impossible for the majority to win. The system forces everyone to become a speculator, gambling in increasingly risky assets just to preserve their purchasing power.
The Forced Gamble
Today's system forces even conservative savers into becoming unwilling speculators. An 83-year-old retiree must now guess whether Exxon is better than British Petroleum, or if Apple will outperform Google, just to avoid having their life savings evaporate.
The choices are stark:
• Gamble in the stock market and hope you pick winners
• Speculate in real estate and compete with institutional investors
• Watch your purchasing power steadily evaporate
The Global Scale
This isn't just an American problem. Globally, we see:
• Argentina's peso has lost 45-85% of its value in a year
• Venezuela's currency has collapsed 98% in a year
• Lebanon's currency has lost 90% in a year
The developing world serves as a preview of what happens when monetary systems fully break down. Without reliable money, entire societies can collapse into chaos.
The Foundation Is Crumbling
Our current monetary system has turned the very foundation of civilization - sound money - into a game of musical chairs. When the music stops, those without access to hard assets or insider knowledge find themselves without a seat.
We need a new foundation. We need money that:
• Preserves human time and energy
• Rewards honest work instead of speculation
• Provides true property rights to all
