💥1971: When the Dollar Broke Free 💵
On Aug 15, 1971, Nixon cut the dollar’s link to gold — the “Nixon Shock.”
💣 Bretton Woods ended. The dollar became fiat. Trust replaced gold.
🔍 What Happened:
U.S. printed more dollars than it had gold (war + welfare).
France called the bluff — Nixon shut the gold window.
⚠️ Why It Mattered:
No more gold = unlimited money printing.
Debt exploded. Discipline vanished.
• 1971: Debt ≈ 35% of GDP
• 2024: Debt > 120% of GDP
🌍 Ripple Effect:
Dollar stayed king — but cracks are forming.
Gold, crypto, and Bitcoin are rising as fiat faith fades.
⚡ The Truth:
1971 wasn’t just policy — it was a monetary revolution.
This system runs on belief. And belief can break.
