Headline is accurate.

Non resource backed fictional debt based currency bills ultimately return to their intrinsic value, which is paper.

I agree, all our economies heavily based on excessive debt is what made us slaves of the banks.

Banks don't promise returns though so it's not really a scam.

I think people just blame capitalism for everything that goes wrong, and especially when they have a shitty life due to their own shitty decisions.

Odd. I said "fractional banking system" and you are referencing "Banks" and just hand waving it all away. What a strange thing to do.

Not odd. Fractional banks are also banks. You know how they work, they don't promise you on something they can't deliver. This isn't a ponzi scheme you tard.

Banks can lend money they don't own. I can't do that, That's the scam.

Not a scam. They're not dishonest about it and aren't tricking you into it.

The scam is that they can do that, while you can't.

I prefer the "musical chairs without chairs" analogy for Ponzi capitalism. For once the music stops, we all fall down.
