When the currency and the economy become disconnected, life can get wild on the tails of probability, and unlikely things can happen.
Why Is Russia Stockpiling Gold? – MarketWatch

Big things are underway behind the scenes, the kind of sea change that everyone understands after the fact, but almost no one sees coming, especially those whose gaze is fixed from within deep wells of subjectivity.
“Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rise and fall, and you can foresee the future, too.” Marcus Aurelius
The only certainty is change. Let’s see what happens.
