    I get 15% currently from nu bank in mexico, and the mexican peso is appreciating vs the us dollar, so it really is a great deal.

      That sounds cool, but given that bank interest creates currency directly that means if it continues at that rate then eventually peso value will start to see a sharp decline.

        Yeah, but it’s not that direct a process, and while there’s still interest in the currency we can support a lot more of it. High interests have also meant less spending and lower inflation.

        Really the currency losing value is something that happens always so just getting anything in return is a win, though it sucks for people holding money without a good investment.
