Tim Ferriss Boldly Shares a Money Wake-Up Call That Is Likely to Affect You
The image of his 100 Trillion-Dollar-Bill will take you down a strange path, into a new way of thinking about money.
I was scrolling the ‘gram’ and stumbled across a photo Tim Ferriss posted. His posts stick out more these days since he dropped the tech-lover, work-four-hours-a-week persona.
Now he’s completely entangled in the complexity of humans.
The transformation started when he shared his story of childhood sexual abuse. Now that story has sprouted into many different Tims. One of those Tims is becoming more vocal about money.
Tim posted a picture of his 100-trillion-dollar Zimbabwean bill with this quote below. You can buy one for yourself on eBay for less than $100 US dollars.
“This is a real 100-TRILLION-dollar bill. I had it framed years ago to remind me of how quickly ‘money’ can change in value.
Zimbabwean dollars in 2008 = US dollars in 2040? Probably not, but looking at examples of ultra-inflation, the position of ‘that can’t happen to a reserve currency’ is wishful thinking. Reserve currencies have changed throughout history and will continue to change.”
