You’ve got it wrong my friend. The $100,000 house you own now sells for $10 million today. Maybe $50 million tomorrow. It is a great way to live.......no?

I get that - so I guess it doesn’t really matter if you lop off a bunch of zeros or not. Other than to still be able to use cash that means something?

I recall my high school history teacher telling of folks in Germany before WWII taking wheelbarrows full of cash to buy stuff. And then people stealing the wheelbarrow and leaving the cash! Perhaps just an tall story, but drives home the point that what is physical is worth something.

I suppose the barter system is big in Venezuela?
