Not quite yet, but as Trump increases his grip on the Federal Reserve, which should reach a tipping point when he appoints a new Chairman in May of 2026, you can bet 100% that monetary policy will hyperinflation on a level never before seen in the U.S.. Expect >50% annual inflation level.

I know this is Counter intuitive but how can I make money off of this?

[-] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Buy real assets like gold and silver. There is a reason why they are near their all-time highs, and the general public hasn't piled in yet. The current bull run has been largely driven by central bank purchases. When the shit hits the fan there will be exponential growth.

Yippee!!! 50% increase! So you're saying I should buy all the bread and eggs right now, store them until May of next year, and then I'll be a billionaire, too???

Me in December: this place smells like shit...

[-] Azal@pawb.social 11 points 1 day ago

Bread and eggs, no.

Beans and rice... probably.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Everyone's gonna have beans and rice. I'm gonna be the only one with bread and eggs. And unlike beans and rice, when I need some more, I can plant them and grow more eggs and bread.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

And flour. And a bread-maker.

[-] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

A better strategy is to buy real assets like gold and silver, which not only hold their value with inflation, but generally tend to explode in price as people wake up and pile in.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Gold and silver are expensive compared to bread and eggs. You're just jealous because I came up with the plan first!

[-] PixxlMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

In much the same way iron is heavier than feathers!

yes the bread and eggs plan is far superior that's for sure

You people have been saying this for 100 years. It’s gonna be true aaaaaany day now…

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

It was true during the Great Depression and the Weimer Republic. I think Trump's profile would neatly slot into both of their shapes, if we are to predict the future.

When people "wake up" and trade their paper for shiny metals with no real inherent value beyond maybe industrial uses.

[-] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Shiny metals have had value to men for the entirety of recorded history and across societies, perhaps originating in their desirability for jewelry, for which they are still in significant demand today. They have been used as money more or less since the advent of money.
