Your Money Isn't Safe (History Proves It Every Time)

Описание: Every empire promises their money will last forever. Every government swears it's different this time. And every single time, history proves them wrong.
From the Byzantine gold solidus to Confederate currency, from revolutionary France to modern Lebanon—paper money collapses. It's not the exception. It's the rule.
In this video, we explore:

Why the Byzantine Empire debased their "unbreakable" gold coin
How the Black Death created unexpected wealth opportunities
The truth about "too big to fail" banks (hint: Florence learned this the hard way)
What happened when Confederate and Union money became worthless
The French Revolution's assignat disaster
The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis
Lebanon's banking collapse (2019-2021) and what it means for you

The survivors of financial collapse weren't the ones who trusted most. They were the ones who doubted first.
This isn't about fear. It's about understanding patterns that repeat throughout history—and positioning yourself accordingly.
