I agree with you here, you are very close to identifying the Grand Energy Ponzi which I also wrote about, this is at the physical root of why we have a burning planet, after destroying most things that used to keep it cool, and why we need to do a u-turn, from constant destruction, to constant creation, by switching the energy source we use, from Earth to Sun.
We start to do it when solar indexed stimulus is issued.
Until then we will see money devalued to nothing, because it is not representing the only energy scaling up, which also heppens to be the only energy for free, the sun asks nothing for it, and it costs nothing to the sun to give it, and money is energy, always, physically, if it is anything at all.
