it depends what we mean by hyperinflation , a lot of people reference Zimbabwe or Wiemer Germany and think of that as hyperinflation
these events we very localized Zimbabwe printed to buy USD service debt . Germany did the same to buy gold
these were governments printing money to service outside contingencies they were not credit based events
inflating a reserve currency and 14 banks doing it in order to grow credit is a very different situation
the expectation that wheel barrows to buy bread will be needed as governments print to infinity doesnt reflect the system we are in at present
gold isnt related to inflation anyway, its just as good in deflation as it is in inflation, this simplistic idea that gold goes up when inflation goes up is a myth
there is no ready reckoner correlation , people attach themselves to these ideas because they seek comfort through simplistic formulas of how the world works
or they lack the intellect or the energy to understand how it works
so simple formulas work for most people eg the US is printing money, it will crash to zero, hyperinflation will destroy the USD, hold gold till 5-10k then sell at the top
this kind of formula is popular because its easy to understand
the problem is that thew world is in it x100 time deeper than this formula suggests
yes it could take 1-5 years to pan out
my view is its 1-2 years
then the entire economic world will implode and we will have to re build
occasionally this type of thing comes along in history, its a shame we have to live through it but thats life
Australians will hold onto to the idea we are ok until we arent
the global realization of what has happened will change policies and systems forever
holding gold stocks through this period is completely crazy
hold gold and silver physical the rest is nonsense
