I was unaware that Rome had a computer-driven stock market.
Martin wrote a piece a while back describing what the currency crash of Rome looked like. There were dips here and there, and then, a huge waterfall event that the Rome currency NEVER recovered from.
They debased their money by having less and less REAL metal in their coins. Sound familiar?
Martin believes that the US dollar will, in time, become worthless. The deflationist believe that Cash will be King. The Monists believe that the government will succeed in starting inflation again. Martin also believes that after the currency crisis, it will be hyperinflation.
Who knows?
