The notion that the dollar is being intentionally driven into a bridge abutment at about 125 mph seems obvious as it will give them the dire crisis needed to usher in whatever abominable people-control method of digital currency they have cooked-up. What I'm pondering is what the black and grey markets will use for transactions to avoid the bleep-bloop electronic turds that the public are supposed to be using. Will it be PMs? Drug dealers, etc. will not cease to exist. Money launderers will still need to layer and integrate under the radar. Politicians will continue to need bribes and ways to obfuscate their presence and origin. That Menendez guy was accepting Au at some point. People (who don't pay taxes because they work outside the system) always find a way... will people who would not otherwise deal 'under the table' be given the motivation to start? I'm drawing a blank when trying to guess on this one.
