What is hyperinflation

Visible to anyone in the world

What is hyperinflation — and why it matters. Hyperinflation is inflation on steroids. Prices rise so fast that money becomes worthless. People rush to spend their cash before it loses value — which makes prices rise even faster. It's a death spiral for a currency. When hyperinflation hits, everything breaks — savings, wages, pensions. Understanding it helps you see the warning signs before the collapse. This is what we teach in Module 6.1 — Macro Indicators and Sentiment. https://youtu.be/v6DI7kHoutc
