From investors to ordinary people, everyone fears a future where currency loses value, prices skyrocket, and assets evaporate. But have you ever asked yourself: 🔻 Why did the US print thousands of billions of dollars after 2008 while maintaining low inflation for an entire decade? 🔻 Why has Japan been printing money for over 30 years while prices remain stagnant? 🔻 And conversely, why have Venezuela and Zimbabwe sunk into hyperinflation? 🧵👇
