@@fballarmy35f every governments on earth do the same Sherlock.
@@fballarmy35f The American government does it specifically to keep inflation at 2% so that the economy keeps going because if a dollar bill becomes less expensive as time goes, there is incentive for people to spend their money. The government in Zimbabwe, however, thinks that printing more money creates more money when in reality money is just a concept, so it decreases the value of each individual piece of money.

"When it arrived from Germany"
*ironic isn't it*
Lol o was thinking the same thing
Not many understood your context😂
It's almost like WW II never existed to some people if they're repeating the same mistakes
@Ameen Shindoli I think it refers to hyperinflation in Germany in 1923.
Germany: Uh... We did the same thing and it didn't end so well.
Zimbabwe: But we're gonna do it anyway
This is really awful, but the part about how vending machines couldn’t hold the coins is kinda funny
How
Jav van Kaal yeaahhhhh no. Once in power dictators take more power than what was given to them. It really isn’t the average citizen’s fault, especially since many weren’t alive at the time. You also just seem incredibly salty lmao
@@sagbon98 do we need to explain what humor is
@Jav van Kaal All they wanted was independence, but they definitely chose the wrong person to be their leader.
@Jav van Kaal Do you mean Rob? Or is there actually a Bob, maybe I'm just being dumb.
I'm from Kenya.. I go for months without seeing a physical note or coin. We use mpesa for everything. I go to the states and see how everyone relies on plastic and cash and it makes me see how ahead we are..
I'd hold on to that $100 Trillion Dollar Bill 'till inflation calms down
Edit: I know it won't happen lol
the government won't allow you to spend it after things go back to normal, thats how they win
Soon economy becomes stable, that $100T will worth plain $100. Whenever you try to spend it, it will be declined as it won't be accepted. You won't want to hold on to that because the government will say "bring old take home new"
Nope because they going to issue new bills.
Everyone be like muh economics muh goverment sucks BUT if you think about it the 100 trillon dolar has novelty value or can even be a collector's item so if you hold to your 100 billion dolar you may trade it for like 100 dollars of course tou have to wait a bit but still
You might not be able to use it in the future but you would still be a trillionaire
Macau’s flag is wrong lol, that’s the Hong Kong flag
Yeah, I barely missed that one
Welp I guess the Hong Kong flag has now stars.

Cecil Rhodes didn't "invade" Zimbabwe. He initially had an agreement called the Rudd Concession with the King of Matabeleland for exclusive mining rights and rights to defend their mines in exchange for a % of the profits and weapons. This eventually resulted in Matabeleland raiding area's of Company settlements and activity, which led to the first Matabeleland War. I'm not saying Rhodes was some nice guy and it was a honki dori situation, but the British didn't just enter the country and start blasting, they tried "buying" the land first.
Yoo they is no way you call it an agreement with an illiterate man who didn't know how to read or write and all they did was to take his hand and sign the agreement which Lobengula never and understood..
@@mjrchiwex5075 What, you think Rhodes just approached the fn King and spoke gibberish to him and the king was like 'Yeah sure, agreed!'.
He understood. He knew what was going to happen. He wanted the $$.
@@tacitus6384 He didn't know sh*t fam.. go back and study history before talking empty facts.
@@mjrchiwex5075 Right, you think the King knew shit and was just a dumbass that agreed to a bunch of foreigners speaking gibberish to him.

I am Zimbabwean. My parents have a lot of worthless notes, I am a lot of $50,000 Zimbabwean dollars. I like them. I may make a collage with them.
Zimbabweans need to start thinking of solutions and make them well known to a huge amount of the population. You guys can certainly fix things if you just know the solutions

The 100 trillion dollar Zimbabwe banknote back then was worth 0.40 cents? Today, the Zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar banknote uncirculated goes for no less than $239.00 USD on eBay and elsewhere.

"We did it Patrick! We beat racism in Rhodesia and saved the country!"
Eh like religion or any hot button issue, race is just a tool to try and get a leg up on rivals when it comes to power plays, see past the machinations of the powerful, white or black, all in power have the capability to exploit those lower on the totem pole.
Rhodesia once a land of racists now clean of racism thanks to Hazztech and their team.

@@redtortoise thank you???
Our inflation here in Venezuela is so bad the government has removed 8 'zeroes' out of the banknotes. What today is 1BsS (which is nothing btw, $1=20,000BsS approximately) equals 100,000 BsF or 100,000,000 Bs. They first removed 3 zeroes, last year they removed 5 more zeroes. We're fucked.
oof
Sorry, but ur profile pic :/
wow.. praying for you 🙏🙏
Stay strong lad
Hoping for a better time
Shit I hope ur well tho
"Fiat money" is a trust that the dollar has an actual worth; when you artificially make the dollar "worth" more by making bigger bank notes, the value of a single unit actually goes way down
That's so weird
THATS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY BITCOIN, LITECOIN AND CARDANO
Apple Bong that’s fiat currency. They say there is a limit to how many bitcoins can be created yet they forked it. I bet there is no limit
@@CloudHopperz no, that's why you should invest in gold, silver, and other precious metals
1400 years ago, a man (prohet Muhammad p.b.u.h) buy a goat for 1 dirham gold(4.25grams of gold) and now the price for a goat still the same. because the gold have intrinsic value. that is the thing Muammar ghadafi and Saddam Hussein try to achieve before media bias the statement from leaders to dictatorship. just throwback 20-30 years ago how libya and iraq past and present. nail it.
"The farm's were seized" that's a very pg version of what happened to the farmers.

Zimbabwe. The most billionaires begging for a slice of bread. Imagine you wanted your money, delivered in 1dollar notes, then sold the paper.
There's a lot of small mistakes in this vid:
2:36 you highlighted ZANU while you were talking about ZAPU and vice versa
6:06 flag of HK instead of that of Macau
9:28 Mugabe was deposed in 2017, not 2007
So, 3 mistakes not A LOT?
@@Sum_Guy A lot is a relative term and has different meaning depending on who you ask.
Near the end, he says that Africa is the "youngest continent". :-p

You got hyperinflation half right, the fleeing of farmers evaporated the country’s resources and productive capacity . Money creation, so long as there is sufficient resources and productive capacity, will adjust in time but without any, the value of the currency will hyper-deflate irregardless of how much currency is created.
