Imagine you had a billion dollars. You go to buy a house. That person also has a billion dollars. Do you really think they care about 300,000 for their house? They are going to want more, because that 300k is now meaningless. It's not a worthwhile trade.
But they probably don't care about that house, because it's a POS compared to what they can afford, so maybe they will sell it for 300k.
But why would you buy it for 300k, when you can buy anything you want. So you go to buy a nice house, one that costs a few million. But 300 million other people want the same house, so they are also all bidding on it. That drives the price up a hundred fold.
This would happen almost instantly, and it would get worse and worse by the hour. Your scenario would not happen. It wouldn't "adjust" because there would be no time to adjust. It would be chaotic and would completely expose the fraud of money.
In the collapse of the Mark in Germany during the Great Depression, they had a couple years to adjust to the devaluing of their currency and they went to cigarettes as an intermediary of exchange. With only a matter of days to adjust, people would panic. Perhaps we would find a way, but its also possible that we wouldn't. It is entirely possible that because people would lose the means to make purchases, they would instead take what they need.
