Every Currency in History Has Failed - Why Gold & Silver Still Matter Today
Let me start with something no politician or banker will ever admit to you:
Every single paper currency in history has eventually failed.
Not some. Not most. All of them.
The Roman denarius. The German mark. The French assignat. The Venezuelan bolívar. Each one ended the same way: overprinted, devalued, destroyed.
And the money you use today? The dollars, pounds, euros in your bank account? They’re no different.
The 100% Failure Rate of Fiat
The average lifespan of a fiat currency is just 35 years.
We are already past that point with the dollar, the pound, and the euro. And the cracks are showing: inflation, soaring debt, banking crises, loss of trust.
This is the natural cycle. It has repeated for thousands of years. And it always ends the same way.
1971: The Beginning of the End
The turning point came in 1971 when the U.S. abandoned the gold standard. Overnight, money was no longer tied to anything real. It became paper - backed only by government promises.
Since then, the dollar has lost more than 85% of its purchasing power.
That’s why your parents could buy a house on one income, while today two incomes struggle to keep up with rent. That’s why £10,000 saved in a bank 40 years ago buys less than £1,500 worth of goods today.
This isn’t mismanagement. It’s intentional design.
Why Fiat Always Collapses
Three reasons paper money always dies:
Governments can’t stop printing. Every crisis leads to more “stimulus.”
Inflation destroys trust. People eventually see through the game.
Debt becomes unpayable. The system collapses under its own weight.
We’re in the final stages of that cycle today.
What Always Survives
When paper collapses, what do people turn to?
Gold and silver.
They don’t need governments. They don’t need banks. They don’t rely on promises.
For 5,000 years, these precious metals have been the ultimate form of insurance, surviving wars, collapses, and resets.
That’s why central banks, the same ones telling you gold is “obsolete”, are now panic-buying it at record levels.
They definitely know what’s coming.
Here’s What You Can Do…
Most people don’t know where to start. They make mistakes - overpaying dealers, buying the wrong coins, storing metals unsafely.
That’s why I put together a free guide: “The Smart Guide to Gold and Silver”, where I break down the traps beginners fall into, and especially how to avoid them.

And if you’re ready to go deeper, my Gold & Silver Foundations Course gives you the comprehensive step-by-step framework for protecting your wealth without the costly mistakes.
Because when this cycle ends (and it will), the people who prepared with gold and silver won’t just survive… they’ll sleep at night.
