Real wealth is goods and services. Money is just a proxy that allows you to bid for available goods and services.
The hardest or the softest money doesn't change that. Harder money only buys you more leverage in the bidding war.
This is easy to forget and politicians who think printing solves anything clearly forgot. Now those same politicians create a world that incentivizes grift and gambling over productive investment.
The only outcome is the collapse of production of goods and services. When that happens people will finally remember how money works, for a while.

The Spanish Empire collapsed hundreds of years ago. I see no indication that they learned anything from it...
Lots of collapsed empires tell the tale. Not many living humans study history.
