My grandmother left us today. 106 years of old. More than a century of history.
Over her lifetime the Lebanese pound was subject to a 126,000x devaluation. An average of about –11.7%/yr compounded in USD. The lira lost about 99.9992% of its dollar value over that span.
She understood all of this. She once showed my mother a 1LL bill from the1930’s and said: This was when the money was worth something in this country. They destroyed it all.

Thank you brother 🧡
Blessings brother - may her soul rest in heaven.
oh! hugs to you 🫂
Did your new little one get to meet her?
Thank you Yogi 🙏🏽
106, what a life she lived. 🫂
She did not 😔 with the war hitting Beirut, we couldn’t risk going back down. She only ever saw pictures. Every summer she would ask me when I was going to have a baby… took me a while so was very happy when she was born.
Yup, I know she would have been a bitcoiner if had been around.
RIP 🙏
I remember you telling me about her in our
@The Progressive Bitcoiner interview
Indeed, she’s seen so much!
Thank you Trey, yeah… she taught me a lot. I’m going to miss her 🧡
That’s a great idea!! I’m going to do that!
Indeed, so much life to celebrate.
Sorry for your loss, but thankful she left such wisdom behind.

Of course, my friend. I know she was proud of you.
Grandmothers are fleeting gifts 🥰

106!! What an innings. Sorry for your loss
Yes, eventually it’s the heart that stopped pumping 😔
what an amazing journey... sorry for your loss, but the passing of your grandmother is worthy of a great celebration after 106 years of life... such wisdom!
Despite economic hardships she managed to raise an amazing family who will keep her memory alive, and that’s an accomplishment to be proud of.
Sorry for you loss.
My grandmother lived to 103 and my husband's grandmother lived to 105. They both had so much wisdom and experience from the lives they lived. That experience is greatly missed.
What a joy to have her for so long! I have lost 3 of my 4 grandparents in the last 10 years. My maternal grandfather is still kicking and surprisingly healthy for someone who turned 93 last week.
I am sorry for your loss, friend but celebrate her longevity and your family's luck in having her around for such a full life.
Sorry for your loss my fren. Sending positive thoughts. 🙏
A blessed woman to be sure.
Thank you my friend 🥹

Thank you brother!
What a long period of time your family was blessed with. Harder on those left behind, but praise the Lord for so many chance to intrtact with her, this side of eternity. 🤗
So she was born in the Ottoman Empire?
Thank you! That means a lot!
Technically she was! The last year 🤯
Sorry for your loss. She must have shared much wisdom with you.
This is the lesson that government money teaches us through lived experience, but our distracted, privileged society tends to remain willfully ignorant about. Slowly, reluctantly, some are awakening to the reality that monetary debasement is happening everywhere, just at different rates, and it has enormous implications. Bitcoin is the lifeboat.
