              so far the Euro hasn't shown to be good a idea, only this year, Greece and Portugal are in trouble for trying to keep up with other nations like the UK, Germany, etc. At this rate, many other countries joining the EU will have the same problems in the upcoming years, already rumors of Spain doing the same are floating around. Today's economics aren't that easy to understand and is a subject that needs to be explained by people that actually knows about it and not Captain Sharp Semen or any of us that whatever we know is what we read in the internet. It will be very interesting to hear it from someone that have dedicated his life to study the subject. About the dollar dying... I hardly doubt it at this moment or in the next years, it will happen if the USA doesn't start doing something about the debt that is increasing every second -> US Debt Clock, but like I said, I can't talk too much, whatever I know is what I read in wikipedia

                To be honest I think the Euro will be in serious trouble before the US is or will be. As to date Greece and Ireland have had to have bailouts from the EU monetary funds and the possibilities of Portugal following shortly. Will it be the death of the Euro I'm not sure but I think it will be difficult times ahead as even England and Ireland have increase VAT with Ireland's being the highest of 24% by 2014. Personally Captain C..... propaganda has more of an entertainment value than one of factual merit. Sadly we've ridden the wave of credit and economic boom and it now seems like the world has to pay for bit by bit (this is just my 2 pence worth!)

                    The Eurozone may yet tide over the crisis, but fats isn't asking about the Euro specifically, he's asking about a non-USD currency. Replacing the USD with a single other currency isn't going to be a spectacular idea anyway, which is why there is talk about trading oil in a basket of currencies - almost certainly the USD, EUR, and JPY, presumably CNY, AUD and CAD?

                      No problem me, I had to read about Spain to be honest :-D It seems an interesting one with Spain and Portugal I bet its something similar to the UK and Ireland. As Ireland is one of UK's top 5 export locations so we as a country can't afford for them to go under. Portugal denies pressure EU partners euro bailout[^]

                              I know it's all my fault, I've been trying to learn from ubber CSS, but I find it hard to go that way and find the truth, those sites that have lots and lot of links to facts, investigations, books, quotes, news, etc etc are more attractive to me than random youtube videos, but maybe one day I will see the light.

                                      You went pretty far back in the forum to find that. You must be one of those weirdos that has an entire room wallpapered with pictures of random girls that you secretly take pictures of in public.

                                        Or he can remember things, and use Google. I know which is more likely. I do wonder though, why you picked that "weirdo" behaviour? Resonates with you, does it?

                                          Why, thank you, sir. I could not have put it better myself. Merely searching the Message Boards on hyperinflation provided the link to the 'far back' thread on the first page of results.
