What happened when the bubble burst? People piled up cash in homes. Their reserve of value are homes. Gold would be more convenient. Poeple want a refuge to keep money away from destrcution.

I hold cash, but as soon that starts piling up I do something with it.

Imagine if instead of getting a promise of a pension, the guy would have got from the age of 22 when he started to the age of 60, a coin of gold? There wouldn't be a penson crisis today. See, pension is a mirage. The real thing is no mirage.

I hate mirages. See what the Germans did for 50 years, they were haunted for the hyper-inflation and acted as if it would come to catch them and they acted accordingly.

I know damn well what hyper-inflation is because I have -to a certain degree- suffered during the 80s to early 90s. Not having taken the ful hit because I was already working outside Brazil.
