Jack Dorsey, the creator of Twitter, has issued a cryptic warning that hyperinflation will alter everything. Dorsey, in classic Dorsey fashion, tweeted his response, stating, It will happen in the US shortly, and so will the globe. Hyperinflation is characterised by extremely high and rapid inflation. According to The Economist, researchers have verified 57 occurrences of hyperinflation as of 2018, with the earliest episode happening between 1795 and 1796 in post-revolutionary France.
Some economists and writers predicted hyperinflation in the United States as early as March 2021, when the economy began to recover from an artificially depressed year caused by lockdowns and severe restrictions imposed during the coronavirus pandemic policies that officials began to reverse as vaccines became more widely available.

The name conjures up dreadful pictures, with Venezuela being the most recent example and Zimbabwe maybe being one of the most well-known cases of hyperinflation. Bloomberg Businessweek said earlier this year that it is meme economics. The report suggested that fear of inflation, if not outright hyperinflation, helps explain the spectacular growth of Bitcoin. It’s the source of Fed scepticism. It also fuels resistance to President Biden’s $1.9 trillion pandemic rescue proposal in Congress. Indeed, Republicans have been warning about inflation since the beginning of the summer, when gas costs began to rise and prices followed suit; consumer prices jumped 5% between June 2020 and June 2021, according to The Associated Press.
Except for more volatile goods like food and energy, this was the highest one-year increase since 2008, and potentially since 1992. Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., said his constituents have seen the higher prices on petrol, and food and the expense to keep their businesses functioning. He added that the folks intuitively realise that this is due to Democrats’ economic strategy and massive expenditure ambitions. Prices have continued to rise as an unprecedented worldwide shipping backlog causes delays in the delivery of products and services across the board, gradually raising prices for everything from toilet paper to toys.
According to news, gas costs in some areas, such as California, Hawaii, and Nevada, have risen to about $4.00 per gallon. In some states, the premium is over $5 per gallon. Officials are striving to reduce the backlog and thereby prevent the arrival of general inflation, much alone hyperinflation, but the consequences of their efforts may take some time to manifest.
