The COVID-19 pandemic only takes as much blame as the bad government policy does. The lockdowns weren't required, the money printing wasn't required either. The government could've taken mitigation efforts without shutting businesses down and causing entire industries to be shut down. Inflation effects the poor the most, so I understand why there are global protests. My point is, the anger should be directed at the government officials who decided they had the authority to cease any "non-essential" economic activity.

Of course. Governments' policies is what has mostly impacted the economy in the first place. Constant money printing and heavy spending has led us to the point where we are right now. The Russia-Ukraine war made matters worst, so it's going to take quite a while before things go back to normal (if they ever will). I couldn't imagine an scenario where hyperinflation would destroy Fiat in its entirety. If that happens, then we'd be doomed.

My guess is that either we'll return to the Gold standard or switch to the Bitcoin standard altogether. No one can predict the future so we can only hope for the best. Just my opinion Smiley

Or better yet, bitcoin invest is the better option to fight this inflation. As what we have been teach, at least save 6 months of money as buffer, in case some kind of emergency sets it. But the pandemic is very different though, no one was ready and it 's effect still lingers despite it being controlled now. So our money is useless and it's better to invest it somewhere like bitcoin or gold, or even diversify to stocks. We don't want to get caught in this inflation, so we need to react.

Globally the economy experiences a recession, the value of consumption that drops in many countries makes many production sectors stop, let alone the presence of pandemics that make conditions more difficult. Certainly not easy to solve complicated problems like now, all I can do is focus on earnings from many sources.
Currently, the problem is very complex and it cannot be separated from what has happened at this time, be it a pandemic, the war between Russia and Ukraine and others.
currently commodity prices are still high and I don't know when this will end,
I think what you say is true that focus on income from various sources

If proctest would have been helpful ..... everyone would have been protesting and getting their demands full filled.
But this is not no solution the only solution is to get financial freedom and earn as much as you could.
What you need to know is that everyone's abilities are different so not everyone can get financial freedom and earn as much as they can. Although making a protest is not a good solution, but every person or citizen clearly wants to bring out any complaints that they feel need to be heard by the authorities. And I think there are other solutions, such as holding an audience with the authorities to convey all important matters that are still under-served.

These protest are not going to help anyway - you suffer mental stress.
The only solution is to have financial freedom. And that is something which will work. Otherwise you will have stress and stress only.
Protests for anything can only provide information that is not liked by the people so that assistance will not be available, moreover what is being protested is the government which will automatically only hear about the complaints of its people, while realizing these complaints also requires a lot of further consideration. So it's true as you say that having financial freedom is a good solution, but I'm sure not everyone can have that (financial freedom) now. Especially for those who do not have a proper education so when they want to get financial freedom, they definitely have to spend more time to learn everything they need.

And I believe the protest does not work if people do it once and become quiet and silent forever.
Like there was a massive protest which has happened in Turkey and people didn't show up later, what impact it has created?
Thank God I live in country where we can protest - and it does matter.
It's important to protest against the government in the public interest and for the people, but I'm sure not many people are willing to do that now because in the end they also have to follow state rules or regulations made with government policies. Even though making a protest is a sign that the community still cares deeply for their nation.

Ever since the war between Russia and Ukraine began, prices on the general commodities have been steadily increasing. Inflation has been happening globally as fuel shortages has been reduced with the ongoing war. There was also the news that Russia, as the biggest supplier of oil, cuts its channels with Germany. This heavily implies that we will be seeing oil prices getting more and more expensive, thus, driving your car will now be considered as a luxury.

This is now the reason on why investing into cryptocurrency may be the ideal situation. Something that is scarce is bound to increase its price in the near future. With inflation happening, there is a possibility that these countries may utilize the channels of BTCs that can ultimately increase its price on the market.

The war and the pandemic contributed to inflation such that they caused the most irresponsible fiscal policy seen in modern history. Most developed countries locked down their economies and provided stimulation through money printing which caused the foreseeable result of inflation.

The pandemic/war would have caused supply chain issues due to low supply and high demand, but the prices would eventually stabilize once the supply normalized. Government induced inflation by virtue of money printing will cause permanent price increases irrespective of the supply chain logistics. Once the money is injected into the economy, it will be there forever.

Well the majority of people are either poor or middle class so it's normal to see protests spread across the globe due to ever-increasing inflation rates. We can blame the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war for this. Unless these two cataclysms disappear, things won't go back to normal. I sometimes wonder how major governments are going to control inflation when its soaring towards unprecedented levels. If the world experiences hyperinflation, then chances for recovery will be very slim. Imagine a global economy with "eternal inflation". It will mark the beginning of a non-stop recession which would be the first of its kind in human history.

I'd say governments step up to the game by dealing with COVID-19 with a heavy hand. That means lockdowns and full-scale vaccinations in order to contain the virus for good. As for Russia, it would be best for NATO and the EU to step in to end the conflict for good. Unless someone does something about it, things will only get worse. Just my thoughts Grin

I am terrible at Fantasy Football!!!
What happens to Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Argentina and many countries that are currently in trouble with the economy because it starts with high inflation, when the government fails to control inflation, it is certain that the next problem will continue to emerge and is more difficult to control, everyone will use standards Dollar or gold to assess the price while Fiat value continues to decline without control.
When inflation occurs and the government can't do anything about it then it will cause a bigger problem,
moreover the people who will feel it then the government, especially the head of state will be considered a failure,
What is clear is that all countries experience inflation
Since inflation is caused by an increase in the money supply and the ones that control that are the governments and the central banks then we know there are things they can do to slow down the inflation, like stop printing so much money, however they refuse to do so as they believe they can control it, but at some point they lose control of it and that is when things get really ugly and then people begin to ask for a political change, which unfortunately does not solve much when facing such difficult circumstances.

Protesting against inflation is like protesting against the weather. It's totally pointless.
Can the protesters force the central banks to stop printing money? Nope.
Can the protesters stop the war in Ukraine and change the hostile relations between Russia and the western world(which leads to high fuel prices)? Nope.
The protesters want government support, which will lead to more government debts and bigger budget deficits(which will make the inflation worse). Some protesters even want fixed prices or controlled prices. Those people don't know how market economy works. Fixed prices will cause big shortages of goods and a possible black market.
The only way to survive the inflation is to make more money and cut all unnecessary costs.


They are protesting NOT against inflation, but its effects.

They are protesting because they can't afford to buy food, if there was food left on the shelves.

They are protesting because fuel prices are unaffordable, if there are fuel left to buy.

They are protesting against a group of non-elected people who are in charge of the monetary system.

In what region of the world are you? If you can say that the protests are "pointless", then you are lucky to still have enough food, fuel, and affordable living conditions. Do you actually believe those people will be on the streets if they were living comfortably?

Yep, protesters have helped enough to make a country become better. These aren't pointless anyway, not unless if they are paid to make a protest without them knowing what they're fighting for (I know some people who's been paid to tag along with the real protesters just to add to the numbers)
Nevertheless, protesters are an important part of a democratic country, without them these politicians may have done worst than what we are experiencing right now.
We all have the right to fight for what's right anyway and these high inflations that's affecting globally is unbearable, especially for those less fortunate.

Structural inflation isn't in the interest of the average citizen, and it's forced upon us by central banks.
It's the main reason I'm into Bitcoin: I believe money should be scarce to be valuable.

Yeah, it better pan out just right otherwise we all are screwed. I'm also keeping up good faith in the bitcoin and want to keep it that way until the last day of mine. I expect nothing besides it's consistent existence so that I can funds which are untouched by government and I am able to spend them on every fine shiny summary day while I earn them in the cold winter ;-)

See the dreams of common citizen, it's nothing big. No matter how many protest they keep doing or how big the inflation goes, there needs only two faithful people in the bitcoin one whose selling and one whose buying and other way round. Smiley

I am personally concerned about the current state of the world economy, starting from rising fuel prices and so on. I hope that the world economy will quickly improve and progress. and now many companies are also closed. and forced many of its employees to be laid off from work, by the company. yes, hopefully they are given patience. and may the world economy recover quickly and progress.
What you say is already happening in the country I live in now. And what I really feel right now is about the increase in fuel prices and basic necessities, so that it makes some small people suffer a little to meet their daily needs. I am a person who has a personal job, but the income from my current job is very low due to the increase in fuel and basic needs, even though the amount of income is still the same.
Unemployment is on the rise and it happens in almost every company, the fuel and food crisis will not end anytime soon. What we need to do now to get out of this terrible situation is to do more, find for ourselves as many different sources of income as possible. According to my predictions, we will have a global recession by the end of the year based on the current economic and war circumstances.

True, but it's odd that you didn't include several first world countries in that list which are facing similar situations like the US etc. United States are faring worse actually due to issues like mass shootings, abolition of laws like Roe v Wade etc.

Soaring inflation rates across the world could lead to recession in many countries which was mostly expected thanks to COVID and other reasons.

All of these issues will pass though with time and I doubt anything will change in the future.

The thing is, when you have a protest, it is always about every person, but there is no roadmap to fixing it. I mean think about it this way, let's say you have a president that failed to make the country better and you guys are doing horrible, that's actually quite a few nations explained.

80% of the people protests, and they make the president go away, and now you are rid of the person who destroyed your nation. What's next? That's the problem, that's why it would never be fixed, we need to make sure that there are organizations and people who would take over and actually do well with the people, and there are rarely any in most protests and that's why it never gets better.
The protests are not going to work. The only solution is to earn more money and try to live within your means
Hold you expenses for time being and try taking out loans. Life will be okie.
But this is high time and one need to look into all what is going in the world.
And what is even worse is that once the protesters get their way and the current leader has to leave their post the one that takes it is most of the time is someone that already belonged to the previous government, and what kind of solution can that person offer when he was unable to fix things anyway? So while protesting for a change makes sense things do not get fixed just because we wish for that to be the case, and as such the best way to protect ourselves from the effects of the upcoming crisis is by doing the best that we can to have the means to endure it.
