Why paper currency is not money?

We have long been told

that we are actually living in illusion.

But it's usually difficult to realise this illusion,

that we ourselves being part of,

as we tend to mistake things being permanent.

However,

illusion could be easier to comprehend

if we carefully observe how

the illusive entities around us quickly degrade.

In finance,

many people invests in

shares, options, insurances, ETFs

which are volatile derivatives of

the real substances.

When financial tsunami hits,

millions of dollars worth of illusive certificates

may just degrade into thin air.

Even the paper currency that

all of us 'realistically' live by

is also an illusive derivative of the real money.

This means, paper currency

will also degrade into thin air.

Especially when more and more

USD is being printed now,

the rate of degradation will be more obvious.

Check out Michael Maloney's video on how

the paper currency is different from real money.

Holding paper currency in hand

isn't something to feel secured about.

-- because it's a soon degrading illusion.

Materialising the volatile currency into

something solid, especially those

that can generate cash flow,

add values to people's lifes and the world

is what financial gurus advise.

Good day,
