So put everything aside and pay a very close attention because this might be the most important video that you will watch this year.

所以放下手邊所有事情，非常專心地看，因為這可能是你今年看過最重要的影片。

There are times in history that for a very long time, nothing actually changes.

歷史上有些時期，很長一段時間裡，什麼事情其實都沒有改變。

And then there are periods in history where in a span of a few years, so many changes that happen in the world that if you capitalize on that opportunity, it will catapult you to wealth in a very short span of time.

然後歷史上有些時期，在短短幾年內，世界上發生了這麼多變化，如果你把握機會，就能在很短的時間內帶你致富。

Because if you just look at how money is actually being earned, you see that during peace times, there are a lot of times of predictability.

因為如果你看看錢是怎麼被賺到的，你會發現，在和平時期，有很多的可預測性。

It is very easy to look in the future and understand what exactly should you be investing in.

在和平時期，你可以很輕鬆地預見未來，知道該投資什麼。

So for the last 50 years, all you had to do is simply invest in the S&P 500 and you could make millions of dollars.

所以過去五十年來，你只要投資 S&P 500，就能賺到數百萬美元。

And that also happens because all strategies keep working.

這是因為所有的投資策略都持續奏效。

If you actually had a strategy over the last 50 years, an investing strategy, a business strategy, you knew that strategy will keep working because.

如果過去五十年來你真的有制定一套投資策略或商業策略，你知道這套策略會持續有效，因為

Because there was a system and rules that reinforced that strategy.

有一套系統和規則在強化該策略。

But when there is a major war in the world, when fundamentally the entire world changes, that creates chaos.

但當世界上發生大戰，當整個世界從根本上改變時，就會造成混亂。

What kind of a business should I be starting?

It creates this fog of war where a lot of people who got used to previous strategies will keep making mistakes because they have a lot to lose, they have billions of dollars to lose.

這就會造成戰爭迷霧，許多習慣先前策略的人會不斷犯錯，因為他們損失不起，他們有數十億美元要損失。

While on the other side, you have young, energized people who are risk takers.

而另一邊，則有年輕、有活力、愛冒險的人。

Because they don't have much to lose, which is why they will take the risk and capitalize on this opportunity.

因為他們沒什麼好損失的，這也是為什麼他們願意冒險、把握機會。

而我們現在就處於這樣的時期。

To understand how today's world is very similar to what has been happening in the past is that you have to compare 1971 and 2026, and

要了解現今世界與過去有多相似，你必須比較 1971 年和 2026 年，

So up until 1971, the United States was on a gold standard.

所以直到 1971 年，美國都實行金本位。

And a lot of people think that the United States abandoned the gold standard, which technically it does.

許多人認為美國放棄了金本位，技術上來說是這樣沒錯。

But if you actually think very deeply about it, the United States never wanted to leave the gold standard.

但如果你深入思考，美國其實從來就不想放棄金本位。

The United States was forced to leave the gold standard because it abused the system.

美國之所以被迫放棄金本位，是因為他們濫用了這個系統。

The reason that the gold standard initially has Worked because there has been faith that you can actually convert your US Dollars into gold.

金本位之所以一開始能奏效，是因為人們相信他們真的能將美元兌換成黃金。

When the entire world knew for a fact that the dollars that they're holding in their bank accounts, in their central banks, in their savings, they knew for a fact that if they wanted today, they can easily convert these dollars to gold, but

當全世界都確切知道，他們銀行帳戶、中央銀行、儲蓄裡的美元，如果他們今天想換，可以輕鬆換成黃金，但

Why would I keep converting my dollars to gold?

我幹嘛要把我的美元換成黃金？

Because doing business with gold is extremely difficult.

What if I have to pay somebody on the other side of the world?

如果我要付錢給世界另一端的人，該怎麼辦？

That is extremely expensive, which is why the entire world just had faith in the US Dollar, because it can easily be converted into gold.

那樣非常昂貴，這就是為什麼全世界都對美元有信心，因為它可以輕鬆兌換成黃金。

So that faith in the system allowed the gold standard to actually work to begin with.

所以，對這個系統的信心讓金本位制得以真正運作。

And the reason that the United States had to abandon the gold standard is because the world stopped having faith in the convertibility of the US dollar to gold.

美國之所以必須放棄金本位制，是因為全世界不再相信美元可以兌換成黃金了。

If you go back to 1970, which is literally a year before the United States abandoned the gold standard, the United States had gold reserve almost worth 10,000 metric tons.

如果你回到 1970 年，也就是美國放棄金本位制的前一年，美國的黃金儲備幾乎價值一萬公噸。

And the value of this gold, if you account that the price of an ounce of gold was $35 an ounce, it would be around $11 billion.

而這些黃金的價值，如果以每盎司 35 美元的金價來計算，大約是 110 億美元。

But the total US dollars within the entire economy has been $215 billion.

但當時整個經濟體系中的美元總額是 2150 億美元。

And the total dollars that has been held by the United states was about $45 billion.

而美國持有的美元總額大約是 450 億美元。

And now if you just look at these numbers and you can easily realize the problem that if other nations have $45 billion, while the total amount of gold in the United states is about $11 billion.

而現在，如果你看看這些數字，你就能輕鬆發現問題所在，那就是其他國家有 450 億美元，而美國的黃金總價值大約是 110 億美元。

So technically, even if the United States wanted to pay everybody or if all nations would come to the United States to convert their dollars to gold, the United States simply doesn't have that much gold.

所以從技術上來說，即使美國想付錢給所有人，或者所有國家都來美國將他們的美元兌換成黃金，美國就是沒有那麼多黃金。

And that's when the entire world stopped having faith in the dollar.

那時，全世界就停止對美元的信心了。

So whether the United States liked that or not, it didn't actually matter.

所以，不管美國喜不喜歡，這其實都不重要。

The world stopped believing that the United States can convert all of these US Dollars to gold.

世界不再相信美國能夠將所有這些美元兌換成黃金。

And it happened primarily because of the Vietnam War.

So the Vietnam war started in 1955, and it cost the United States a lot of money.

越戰始於 1955 年，花費了美國一大筆錢。

And the United States did not actually formally declared war on Vietnam.

It was small escalation, one after another, to the point where the United States realized that without troops and the ground, it is impossible for the United States to win this war.

這是一點一點的小規模升級，直到美國意識到，沒有地面部隊，美國是不可能贏得這場戰爭的。

Nobody wanted to raise taxes, because when you raise taxes, you become politically unpopular.

沒有人想調高稅收，因為一調高稅收，政治上就會不受歡迎。

So most of that war was primarily funded with debt.

所以這場戰爭大部分主要是靠債務來資助的。

And that's why the United States in 1965 has already spent about $4.5 billion on this war.

這也是為什麼美國在 1965 年已經在這場戰爭上花了約 45 億美元。

If you compare this number to today's dollars, you might say, what is $4.5 billion?

如果你把這個數字跟今天的幣值相比，你可能會說，45 億美元算什麼？

In just less than two weeks, the United States has already spent about $12 billion, at least on the war with Iran.

在不到兩週的時間裡，美國已經花了約 120 億美元，至少是在對伊朗的戰爭上。

And the total amount of gold the United States had was about $11 billion.

而美國擁有的黃金總量大約是 110 億美元。

So this is literally about 40 to 45% of that.

所以這大概是那個數字的 40% 到 45%。

And in 1965, foreign countries held about 14 to $15 billion worth of US dollars.

在 1965 年，外國持有的美元大約是 140 億到 150 億美元。

So basically, at that time, the rest of the world held slightly more gold than the United States.

所以基本上，在那個時候，世界上其他國家持有的黃金比美國稍微多一點。

Now, inside the United States, it was not a problem.

現在，在美國境內，這不是個問題。

It doesn't matter how much dollars are there.

Because the United States can simply pass a law that you cannot simply buy gold or you cannot convert your dollars into gold, but

因為美國可以簡單地通過一項法律，規定你不能隨意購買黃金，或者你不能將美元兌換成黃金，但

you cannot reinforce that on other nations.

So in 1965, when the world realized that, look at this.

所以在 1965 年，當世界意識到這一點時，看看這個。

United States has printed slightly more US Dollars than the amount of gold they have.

美國印製的美元數量，已經比他們擁有的黃金還多了一點。

So if we sit down and we do the math, practically or even theoretically, the United States, for a fact, cannot possibly pay everybody at that moment, the French president decided that they are going to request a lot of gold from the United States.

所以如果我們坐下來算一算，實際上或甚至理論上，美國事實上根本不可能在那一刻付給所有人，法國總統決定他們要向美國要求很多黃金。

So the President of France sent a ship's worth of US Dollars to the United States.

於是法國總統就派了一艘船的美元到美國。

And in return, after a lot of fight, a lot of.

然後作為回報，經過很多爭執，很多。

After a lot of conflicts with the United States, France could secure a lot of gold from the United States in exchange for all of these US Dollars.

在與美國發生許多衝突後，法國得以用這些美元換取美國的大量黃金。

And that's when the United States takes a decision that no more convertibility of the US dollar to gold now.

就在那時，美國做了一個決定，美元不再能兌換黃金了。

Now, a lot of people say that, wait a second.

The United States abandoned the gold standard in 1971.

美國是在 1971 年放棄金本位的。

The reality is that the decision to stop the gold standard was taken in 1965.

事實上，停止金本位的決定是在 1965 年做出的。

Because after France requested their gold, the United States simply stopped converting the US Dollar to gold.

因為在法國要求兌換黃金後，美國就停止將美元兌換成黃金了。

There were a lot of other nations such as the U.K.

還有很多其他國家，像是英國、

many other nations literally asked the United States to convert their gold to their US Dollars to gold.

還有很多其他國家， literalmente 要求美國將他們的美元兌換成黃金。

But the United States just kept dragging and dragging and dragging.

但美國就是一直拖、一直拖、一直拖。

Basically, the United States simply dragged it up until 1971 to borrow more money and abuse the system.

基本上，美國就是一直拖到 1971 年，以便借更多錢並濫用這個系統。
