This guy is estimating the Lira’s inflation to be over 80 percent a year right now.
Protestors are taking to the streets of Istanbul to demonstrate against President #Erdogan’s war against the Turkish lira. Today, I measure #Turkey’s inflation at 81.27%%/yr. Take a look.pic.twitter.com/QljkrIB5U8

All of these fiat currencies like the Lira will eventually fail. The US Dollar is not immune from this and will suffer the same fate. We are already seeing signs of this starting to happen with the rising prices, empty shelves etc..
Once the US Dollar collapses, you can expect all sort of chaos to break out around the world. Prepare yourselves accordingly.
