Every fiat currency in recorded history follows the same five-stage collapse cycle. The US dollar has been a pure fiat currency since 1971. That is fifty five years. The average lifespan of a fiat currency is twenty seven years. This video traces the Debasement Cycle from the Roman denarius to the Argentine peso and asks the question no one wants to answer: where is the dollar in the cycle? The video introduces the Debasement Cycle, a five-stage framework that has predicted every currency collapse for four thousand years. Stage one is fiscal overreach. Stage two is debt monetization. Stage three is loss of public confidence. Stage four is capital flight. Stage five is terminal collapse or forced reset. The evidence comes from six major collapses: the Roman denarius (third century AD), the Chinese jiaozi (Song Dynasty), the French assignat (Revolutionary France), the Weimar mark (1920s Germany), the Zimbabwe dollar (2000s), and the Argentine peso (2001 to present). The historical record shows the same pattern repeating across every civilization and every economic system. Rome debased its currency for two hundred years until the denarius was worthless. The Song Dynasty printed the first paper money and watched it collapse within a century. Revolutionary France backed its assignat with church lands and still lost ninety nine percent of its value in six years. Weimar Germany saw prices double every three point seven days at the peak of hyperinflation. Zimbabwe recorded a monthly inflation rate of seventy nine billion percent. Argentina has lost ninety nine point nine percent of its peso value since 2001. Sources used in this video include Federal Reserve economic data, the Bank for International Settlements annual reports, the World Gold Council historical statistics, and academic papers on currency debasement from the National Bureau of Economic Research. Historical records for the Roman denarius come from metallurgical analysis published in the Journal of Roman Archaeology. Weimar Germany data is drawn from the Reichsbank records and the Federal Reserve Board's 1924 report on German hyperinflation.
