Just a few years back over 60% of US GDP was in the hands of the US banks.
A few years back the a lot of bailout money was put into the hands of US banks.
A central bank's balance sheet is very much different than a private bank's balance sheet. And what happens to those assets (liabilities) is also very much different.

So much doom and gloom derryb. We should get together for a beer, or a whiskey. I'll cheer you right up. I'm serious. I'm in your area occasionally.

Australia is considered a continent by geographers due to it's large size.

Great metaphor. There are others, and also cute cartoons, that suggest the world is ending..
Luckily, it very seldom does

Stacking PMs has nothing to do with the end of the world - it has everything to do with the destruction of a fiat currency. Currencies are much more susceptible to death than are civilizations.
From an early conspiracy theorist whose warnings were ignored:
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." — Cicero, 55 BC
While Rome did not have a fiat currency it did continually debase it's gold and silver coinage by continually reducing the PM content of the coins. This is why the answer lies in Cicero's warning and not in a gold backed monetary system. Fiscal discipline is the modern solution but it will continue to elude us as long as personal gain remains available to those we depend on for such discipline.

but we aren't there yet, imo.
also, those in control can change the rules.
the cards can have sandpaper placed on them.
there is the greek "solution" where certain holders of greek debt "agree" to take less, much less, on their returned principal.
there is more money printing, a lot more money printing.
