"ALL fiat currencies to date have ultimately failed. It can seem like the Dollar and Stirling have been around so long that they are perhaps immune. The Euro may well be the next to disappear as fall-out from the EU over-indebted death spiral - which could easily be precipitated from, for instance, Italy's public debt crisis spreading contagion throughout the eurozone" I would reiterate that this is not the fault of the currencies but rather the unsustainable economic model that drives them, "boom-and-bust" is the exploitative model that the PtB must use and they ride out the purges if they wish to maintain their positions by further corrupting the model and making the un-resourced responsible for the losses.
