Guess the Oldest Fiat Currency

-
The longest fiat currency in the world is the British pound. It has been in existence for more than 300 YEARS. I saw an article online talking about it. Not well articulated but draws out the fact that "the pounds sterling has lost 99.5% of its value".

This goes to show that for someone who has decided to use the fiat currency as it store of value, it is in for the losing game. The constant devaluation of our currency make it the worst form of store of value. In this generation, savers are losers. You can not save your way to be a millionaire. You have to invest. This is not a Financial Advice! Do your own research. One of the most liquid investment around is cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin which is the oldest and most important of it all is working like Gold. Since inception, bitcoin has performed incredibly well against the US Dollar. As impressive as it sounds, it does not come without some demerits.
  1. It is highly volatile.
  2. The risk is solely yours i.e. you are responsible for the security of your wallet.
  3. It cannot be oversimplified i.e basic knowledge of the information age is needed.
Nevertheless, it has been the saving grace for a lot of people who have been under the bondage of harsh economic crisis. The hyperinflation in Venezuela, Argentina and Zimbabwe have opened a lot of peoples eyes to the risk of trusting the government and its currency.

Advantage of Bitcoin
1. It cut across border i.e it can be transferred to any part of the world in minutes.
2. It is not controlled by any government i.e it is decentralised
3. It is highly liquid i.e it can easily be converted to local currency of your location.

Despite non-stop criticism, obituaries, and competition from altcoins, Bitcoin has undeniable advantages — ensuring that its value will keep rising for decades to come. It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Satoshi Nakamoto, 1/17/2009 Here are the reasons 1.

When the Game is Rigged, you don't have to Play by the Rules

When the game is rigged, you don't have to play by the rules. Since the start of time, powerful empires have risen through history. And the one major prerequisites for glory and power had always been a standard financial system. Be it Ancient Egyptian or Babylonia or even recently Rome, wealth have been the driving force that spurred these empires forward. They could command great armies, buy Calvary and acquire the state of the art technology that gave them an edge in produc tion, industrialization and warfare. Not taking anything away from the industriousness of these empires, a spark that ensured they stayed in power is they knew something other nations didn't. They knew that the game of wealth was rigged and you need not play by the general rules to win. Of course they preached about the real 'rules' of the game but then they played by the rigged rules that ensured their victory. That pattern has been carried into modern empires of America and China.
