The US had to issue "Carter Bonds" (bonds issued in swiss francs) because no one wanted bond's denominated in the pariah currency of the time...the US dollar.  

Bit coins are  always a mess to normal people. last day in the cafe somebody told me that Bitcoins are safer than conventional currency notes and soon or later they will replace other currency standards.

Knowledge is the new Currency.

Rates went down yesterday after China’s currency announcement.

The devaluation of our currency (Inflation) will grow the cash flow - even in normal times at a rate or 3% per year, currently a lot more.

The problem is the curriculum never taught what money is, the history, practical application, and how the flow of money (currency) & regulation of the financial system can be used to manipulate the value of assets causing more violent boom/bust cycles than if it was left to a more lassez faire type market.

Then I would suggest to learn about real estate investing and crypto currency investing. 

We have seen crypto currency investing get a lot more interest as well.

@Logan Hicks @John Arendsen This is an interesting thread so I'll play along to keep it alive a little longer.I am not a commodity trader or a currency trader.

Due to differences in the value of currencies, if my VA were to earn the equivalent amount here in the US, they would be paid ~$38/hr.
