Forget the Fiat – It’s CONFIDENCE
QUESTION: Hello Mr. Armstrong,
In a recent post you write, “HYPERINFLATION takes place not because of any threshold in the quantity of money that has been crossed. It is a matter of confidence.”
Is there any historical precedence for a people losing confidence in a currency, where it is being restricted, i.e., not printed in vast amounts?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
