The modern system is an updated form of slavery.
People exchange their life, time, and energy for paper that is printed out of thin air.
The more it is printed — the more devalued salaries and human labor become.
Prices for food and goods rise because they cannot be "printed" at the same speed as money.
This is a hidden tax on each of us. More money means less value for each banknote.
Saving becomes pointless, as money devalues faster than you can earn it.
An alternative?
Gold and silver do not succumb to uncontrolled issuance.
Everything else: stocks, real estate, currencies — can be "inflated" just like fiat.
