Bank Assets Are Ephemeral – Here Today Gone Tomorrow

• lewrockwell.com By Egon von Greyerz

Fake news and Fake assets are everywhere. Let's start with social media which dominates major parts of the world. Facebook, for example, has 2 billion active users. WhatsApp has 1.2 billion users and Instagram 700 million. There will obviously be quite a lot of overlap between the various social media. But what it is clear that these three Apps reach billions of people and their power is much bigger than that of any other media; Social Media has more impact than newspapers or than television and is the only media that 2-3 billion people follow regularly. Most people and in particular young people don't watch television and don't read the papers. They get all their "news" from social media.

SOCIAL MEDIA SOURCE OF FAKE NEWS

Social media is instant gratification. You post something or you send a message and you get a message back or a number of likes which generates dopamine and makes you momentarily happy. But as I have experienced from our many grandchildren, social media is a perfect source of Fake news.
