“We discuss at length why the credit and asset bubble will pop and how it will usher in the end of fiat money. Alasdair Macleod lays out what the triggers will be and how the main currencies will be affected. Today looks like 1929 with a credit bubble and trade wars, but is much worse due to how connected the world is. The euro probably looks the worst of them all. He ends with an analysis of what comes next and how people should prepare.”

For my part, I would like to understand what may happen to debt on a personal level should fiat collapse. For example,
- if one has a loan at an interest rate they can afford right now, and the market/economy crashes and fiat loses its value, I would think that one would still owe the same amount at the same interest rate (ie if the rate is locked in) ….. and if one has precious metals, which will then be worth more if sold for greatly devalued fiat, then it would be easier to pay off the loan.
Is this correct thinking?
Very good question from Stoneybroke below!
