We can. It's actually possible to have a currency reset. Take a look at the mountain of debt we're all stuck into and think whether they can or not. At this point there's literally no way we can recover from the deep debt hole we are into.
Switching from one fiat currency to another fiat means coming out of the tiger's mouth into the crocodile's mouth. The FIAT money system is what causes debt inflation at this time. So the culprit is the existence of fiat money itself. Start reviewing and making concrete actions to simulate the use of currencies with intrinsic value.
So to resolve global debt the way is to stop the practice of debt by eliminating banks that apply interest rates.
The practice of debt relief with various mechanisms has already taken place in this world, but if what is meant is "back to zero" then the negotiations will be very heavy because other countries' debt means foreign exchange for other countries. "back to zero" also means instability for a country whose foreign exchange reserves are in the form of government bonds.
Here are some mechanisms for debt cancellation
- Basic Toronto, the choice of conventional assistance in the form of; cancellation of the loan to one-third of the loan value, a reduction in interest on all loan volumes, extension of the repayment period to 25 years
- Brady Plan, by eliminating part of the debt, but the remaining debt is guaranteed by the IMF or the World Bank, as long as it follows the required adjustment programs.
- Debt swap for capital (debt for equity swap)
- Debt exchange for certain humanitarian or environmental programs, such as (debt for nature swap, debt for health)
The burden of the global debt crisis should be shared evenly among all parties not just charged to developing countries or poor countries)
A currency reset would most likely not mean a RESET to 0, but swapping the $, €, £ and all the other currencies with a new one that could track the progress and all our funds in a way easier manner. A reset to 0 is too harsh, they have to do a smooth transition and I believe it'll happen as soon as the national cryptocurrencies launch. It'll be a reset disguised in a currency swap. We're slowly going cashless if you think about it and look around. Cash transactions are being limited as much as possible, and cash transactions are inversely proportional with the control of our funds.
Cryptocurrency can indeed shift the fiat money system with all its problems. But learning from previous fiat currency failures, shouldn't we rely on crypto on real gold.
Cashless transactions, although efficient, clearly cause huge holes due to the practice of creating money, making it more frustrating that our assets are only in the form of writings on a computer or system without real guarantees that the amount is appropriate.
Blockchain technology can be a bridge to close the hole and bring transparency to the world economy. So that even distribution and welfare of the economy can be felt by everyone.
