The Melting of Money:
Just as the bank dilutes your wealth (along with the government), it adulterates and cheapens the effort you put into your work.

The bank doesn't anticipate future wealth when they lend you money, as many believe. What it does is dilute present wealth.

It's literally like taking 100 liters of extra virgin olive oil to an olive oil bank (olive mill) for safekeeping.

When you deposit it, they give you a slip of paper saying you can collect your 100 liters whenever you want, and they will return it to you.

Obviously, that oil is the fruit of your labor; it's what you produced with your time and effort.

But it turns out that the olive oil bank mixes your 100 liters of extra virgin olive oil with 9,900 liters of palm oil, which cost almost nothing to produce and requires almost no effort or time (creating money out of thin air).

And with this mixture, the olive oil bank starts selling oil. When you return to the olive mill to pick up your oil, they fulfill their contract and deliver 100 liters of oil, but not extra virgin olive oil like the one you left.

They deliver a blended oil, and the worst part is that it's impossible to tell the difference. There's no way to separate the olive oil from the palm oil; they're indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Here's the detail that changes everything: the state forces everyone to accept this blend as if it were pure extra virgin olive oil.

By law, they're the same; no one can refuse it, no one can demand the original. But pay attention to the proportions because they're important. The reserve ratio currently required in the European Union, for example, is 1% (fractional reserve).

This means that for every 1 liter of extra virgin olive oil obtained through real work, time, and genuine effort—oil with real value—the system can produce 99 liters of palm oil and mix it with the first. 99 parts of a lie for every part of the real thing.

All individuals and businesses are obligated to produce extra virgin olive oil, creating something of real value.

However, banks have a unique privilege: they are the only ones who can produce palm oil.

They can create 99 liters of palm oil simply by typing digits on a screen, and the state guarantees that no one can distinguish the difference, that everything is worth the same, that the mixture circulates as if it were pure extra virgin.

This is not a technical error; it is the design of our financial system to have systematic inflation, year after year, causing money to constantly lose its value.

Another deception is that your already diluted money is still called money, even though it is no longer worth the same, it no longer has the value it once did, it is something else now, but they continue to call it money—the blessed power of words.

Sower of doubt.
