Ezekiel 7:19
They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the LORD's fury. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth was the obstacle leading to their iniquity.

Revelation 6:6
And I heard a voice from among the four living beings say, “A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay. And don’t waste the olive oil and wine.”

Yes, the wealthy are in for a major lifestyle adjustment...
Centralized Global Power, Authority, and Control. The powers that be already know that the "bubble is about to burst" and debt based wealth is worthless. Why do you think they keep driving the debt up? Because the solution is simple; Remove currency from the equation. The whole concept of money, wealth, and ownership is about to drastically change, and if you're not truly one of the "global elite" then you're SOL.
