💸 If Your Money Is in the Bank, It’s Not Yours – and Inflation Is Eating It Away

In a recent interview with Marlies Dekkers, macroeconomist Tom van Lamoen drops a truth bomb that most people are still unaware of. I picked out one short clip—something few people truly understand (watch the full interview on De Nieuwe Wereld):

“Inflation isn’t about rising prices. It’s about the falling purchasing power of your money due to increasing money supply.”

He makes it crystal clear that inflation is not some mysterious force of nature—it’s a direct consequence of central banks creating more money, slowly eroding the value of your savings.

🏦 Your Bank Balance? It’s Technically Not Yours.

Once you deposit money into a bank account, you are no longer the owner of that money. Legally, it becomes the bank’s asset, and you become a creditor. The bank can loan it out or invest it—your access to it depends on their liquidity. And in a bank run? You may not see that money again.

Worse, the so-called €100,000 deposit guarantee scheme? It’s a false sense of security if multiple banks collapse simultaneously.

💶 Money Is Just a Social Agreement

According to Van Lamoen, money is nothing more than a social contract built on trust. Its value is upheld as long as we all believe in it. But when that trust starts to crumble—due to debt, inflation, or economic instability—your financial safety net becomes a trap.

💣 Systemic Risk: A Fragile House of Cards

The financial system is so interconnected that the fall of one major bank can trigger a domino collapse. We’ve seen it in 2008 with Lehman Brothers—and again in recent banking scares. Stability is only as strong as the public’s confidence.

🔐 The Alternatives: Take Back Control of Your Wealth

What are your options?

Cash – Physical and legally still yours
Gold and Silver – Time-tested stores of value
Crypto – The modern, sovereign form of money you can hold without middlemen

Crypto, when used wisely, doesn’t just protect you from inflation—it can actually grow your wealth significantly.

🏛️ CBDC: The Trojan Horse of Blockchain Technology

Governments and central banks worldwide are rushing to launch Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)—digital money built on blockchain tech. It sounds modern, secure, even “crypto-like”… but don’t be fooled. CBDC is not crypto.

Yes, it uses blockchain, but CBDCs are fully controlled by authorities via admin keys. This means they can freeze, reverse, or restrict how and where you spend your money. Imagine your digital euros being unusable for meat, flights, or non-mainstream news—just because the government disapproves. That’s not freedom. That’s financial surveillance and control.

Crypto is the opposite.

Real crypto—decentralized, without admin keys—gives you autonomy and sovereignty. No government or institution can take it from you, as long as you hold your private keys. Being in the right crypto means: true ownership over your money and your future.
