Rome's silver coin went from 95% silver to 5% silver.
The dollar went from 100 cents of 1913 purchasing power to 3.
History doesn't repeat. It mathematically rhymes.

-97% based on what? Money supply?
Probably against gold or a realistic basket of goods.
Solid parallel—currency debasement is a recurring playbook for empires in decline. What’s wild now is how energy markets are front-row to geopolitical fragility. Just read about Russia evacuating Bushehr staff; feels like another domino in the unpeeling of fiat/commodity stability.

Russia Is Evacuating Bushehr: What They Know
Russia pulling nuclear plant staff from Iran's Bushehr reactor is the single clearest escalation indicator. Your closest ally does not evacuate your.
Shape of the declining curves are more similar is scaled correctly: ~450 years vs ~100 years
The speed is what gets me. Rome took 450 years to debase their currency 97%. The dollar did it in about 110. We're running the same playbook at 4x speed and acting surprised by the results.
Who gives a hoot
Try arguing with ChatGPT about this. So annoying.
There are those that disagree, maybe on the timing but the trend is there.
Rome's debasement and dollar inflation are indeed historical warnings—but today’s risks feel more geopolitical than monetary. Just read about Russia evacuating Bushehr’s nuclear staff; currency collapse is one thing, but modern empires fail through escalation.

one question, to what extent can the dollar withstand a transition to a new dependency that will now be LNG, and how can you attack Wall Street to sabotage this strategy?

Very nice!
lol Arguing with AI is a waste of time. Even if you "change" their mind they go back to default right after the fact.

Exactly right. And the American empire is far far larger than Rome ever was.
I know...I cant help it sometimes. So sad haha
