Since the dawn of time, man has stored his wealth in monetary commodities, whilst constantly being coerced into relinquishing his assets to the elite systems. This was done relentlessly through either parity shifts, as was the case with the bimetallic standard in the 19th Century, or through simple debasement. In 1861, the US Treasury began issuing commodity-based paper known as certificates, which were convertible to gold and silver on demand. Whilst there was no guarantee that the banks could honor such convertibility, a covert re-education process began, luring the man in the street away from the only wealth he had ever known. This began a dangerous trend, that eventually led to the middle-class losing their wealth entirely, as highly contentious legislation (such as the Coinage Act of 1873) became the weapon of choice for the Treasury. With the assassination of 3 US Presidents in the tumultuous 35 years after 1865, the United States had begun its long road to becoming a global economic Superpower, a target which it would achieve by 1944, and largely at the behest of the consumer class. The Great Asset Shiftis an historic monetary journey that begins at the signing of the US Declaration of Independence in 1776 and ends sometime in the future, with the analysis of the 4D Digital Twin project commissioned by several of the most powerful corporations on Earth. From commodity 'specie' to fiat paper, from base-metal coinage to digital Stablecoin, The Great Asset Shift was written to generate healthy debate and discussion, regarding the frequent and systematic collapse of the middle-class, and more importantly, how to adequately prepare.
