Somebody once said, that hyperinflation takes one generation to develop and one generation to fix.

If we assume that current inflationary cycle started in 1993 when the Fed started rapidly inflating the money supply, then the hyperinflation and replacement of the dollar could occur anywhere between 2015-2020.

Things that could accelerate this process:

1. The internet and widespread access to many sources of information.

2. Globalization and the internet contribute to the ease and speed of moving large sums of capital into different countries, asset classes and currencies.

3. Asians pulling the plug on vendor financing.

4. An unforeseen event like wars in the Middle East spinning out of control, or major droughts, floods or climate changes.

5. Peak Oil.

6. More people reading "The Epic American Credit and Bond Bubble Laboratory" message board -g-

Factors that are slowing down this process:

1. Financial and math illiteracy of most Americans.

2. Continued manipulation of economic statistics and "Ministry of Truth" propaganda.

3. Inflationary policies in Europe and Asia.
