the brrrrring printing press led to a new currency (the Rentenmark). The value of the Rentenmark was indexed to the value of gold – though it could not be redeemed in gold because the government had no gold reserves. One Rentenmark was initially valued at one billion ‘old’ Reichsmarks.   

the silver price 'going to the moon' is less important than the value of silver after reentry and splash down.

(gsr 1:160, are these figures correct?)

 

if the bread can be used as consistent with average living expenses then within a

year the purchasing power of gold doubled.

The Weimar Republic, Germany hyperinflation was one of the subject I spent weeks researching a few years back.

One article states: 

....There is no coincidence that the value of gold to silver surged during the Communist takeover of Hamburg on Oct 23, 1923. Germans who were fearful of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution taking place all over again, were selling their silver for gold so they could easily transport it out of the major cities. However, after the “Communist threat” was finally resolved, the gold-silver ratio fell back to its normal level.

Likely data error, an extra 0 is added to Mark values for gold from 23/09 on.

If people were suddenly dropping silver out of need to flee, a reasonable explanation in itself, you'd expect price increase to slow or even fall. It doesn't, it keeps exact same rate of increase as gold except for the 10x change. 

[Stacktastic]

Id be happy with Jan-20 (84 / 1340).
Thats a more realistic gold to silver ratio.

Id probably then sell silver and buy gold  

I often wonder what I could buy in Venezuela right now mind you??
Maybe a 3 bed flat (in a decent area) with a set of silver 10oz queens beasts

Can any of you clever people work it out. I might start planning a holiday to Lebanon next year to hunt for properties.

Oh yes I missed that. To be fair I would prefer the car, they all look a bit cheap if you ask me. 
I will have the bed shop & drive through instead. 

Maybe the brunette on the middle left - green bikini?

Very good observation. That would make them even more valuable, not all marked up with tattoos.

In terms of investment advice, you should always buy Old Masters.  They tend to fetch a much higher price than old mistresses..  😁

the significance of this is that the gold to bread ratio drops from 1:531 to 1:109(the error figure of 1:1088).

ie gold lost 80% of it's value versus bread.

it's likely that the article is wrong. ie the gsr was never 1:160, it's most likely a data typo.

notice how the gold to bread ratios drops to 1:135, (previous data)

if you say that the gold to bread ratio went to 1:200 then this would be much more realistic.

it looks like seekingalpha is too blinded by bias to consider that bread outperformed both

gold and silver in the hyperinflation period mentioned.

Nooo, bad plan, never run 2 women, trust me. Two many complications; either stick with the one (probably the best plan overall) or if one doesn't cut it, three is probably the best number on many levels. As you get older, one is all you can manage anyway🤔
