"One of the biggest bubbles of the last century has just popped"
Skol, I presume you are referring to the US dollar bubble -in fact it's more than a bubble - it's virtually an outright scam where US dollar savers lose the purchasing power of their US dollars.
Why, the US dollar has lost nearly 100% of its purchasing power over the last century.
And its being made so much worse this century with Helicopter Bernanke printing trillions of these increasingly worthless pieces of paper.
The way it's going, it won't be too long before a roll of toilet paper is worth more than a US dollar! lol
