12. There is no such thing as "running out of money" because it is fiat currency.

The banksters can just wish any amount of cash into existence, and in that sense the dollar really isn't that much different from crypto.

The issue is not money supply. That is unlimited. Banking system "collapse"? That's a different question. But even that is more of an academic question because Friends of Trump will get bailed out as needed. It always works that way.

The more difficult question is how all of this hits the average American in terms of inflation and recession. Lots of unpleasant signals on that and the bailouts won't help that.
