Paper money systems facilitate the creation of credit and thus generate growing levels of debt. Debt is clearly growing in Western countries. Paper money has no intrinsic material value. Instead, it thrives on trust in the solvency of the institution that issues the money. The situation is quite different with gold coins and bars. Their value lies in the material. The value of paper money is subject to various factors such as inflation, money supply, and economic and political stability. Incidentally, paper money was invented in China in the 11th century. It took around 600 years for banknotes to become established in Europe.

When Spain ran out of coins, the first banknotes were issued. Today, the value of paper money is declining over longer periods of time. In this country, the average inflation rate since 1950 has been around two percent. As a result, the purchasing power of one euro is lower today than it was in 2000, for example. Today, France is once again at the center of sovereign debt crises. And France has made history in this regard. France, too, has had extremely negative experiences with securitized assets.

Assignats securitized church assets and were issued by the state for financing purposes, but then gradually lost their value to zero due to inflation. At the same time, gold and silver were banned as private means of payment in order to eliminate competition with the assignats. But gold and silver have no competition in themselves. Politicians and investors need to understand this. Those who want to invest in gold and silver can do so with the stocks of the relevant companies.
