<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1482796, member: 3011&quot;]OK, but please keep in mind that this is just an argument for how it could happen, not a prediction.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>First of all, the reserve status of the dollar is a far greater advantage than most people realize.&nbsp; Martin Armstrong [love him or hate him, he is an independent thinker and researcher] has pointed out that hyperinflation has never occurred in the primary or reserve currency.&nbsp; It is always a secondary or fringe currency.&nbsp; When times get tough, money will flee to the reserve currency just as money from Europe is flowing into the dollar now, despite the problems.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, at some point the servicing of debt, even sovereign debt will become a problem.&nbsp; When this happens, the demand for dollars will increase to pay debt service, and the value will rise.&nbsp; This is why the present central banking system, for all its faults, may help prevent serious inflation.&nbsp; Deflation may be a bigger threat.&nbsp; Remember crashing debt markets is deflationary, not inflationary.</p><p><br /></p><p>So that&#039;s the possibility.&nbsp; Fixating on inflation may be just as bad as ignoring inflation.&nbsp; Things could go either way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
