Re-basing currency. Basically the mint makes “old money” worthless overnight, and “new money” is printed that has value that is more realistic. You get a window to buy new money with old money, and then that’s it. I have no idea how that happens with digital accounting, but would obviously need to be a thing too. Point being: it’s possible for inflation to be so horribly mismanaged that you have to declare a do-over to fix it.
Zimbabwe is the current poster child for this, where trillion-dollar notes were exchanged for single-dollar amounts on their third attempt of re-basing. But other countries like Iceland have done this in the not too distant past.
I’ll add that with the US dollar being a de-facto reserve currency just about everywhere, the %1 is in the same boat with the rest of us. So I wouldn’t expect things to get that dire. It might get re-based eventually, but probably more of a “let’s move the decimal point over because this looks stupid” kind of a thing.
How about
pandemic
multiple different catastrophes
war
multiple economic crises, including inflation so big, it actually goes into changing money
world turning into cyberpunk
tyrans staying alive while there are news about cure for cancer
And many fucking more
I didn’t quite get what are your talking about here, could you explain?
In russia they had to turn 100 rubles into 1 rouble
100 roubles make 1 trouble?
