This is it, brothers. I hope you've stocked up on food and ammo. Read up on survival stories in Bolivia.
This shit is going to make the 1920's look like a holiday fucking weekend in the Hamptons.
you might be right, so ill be a few extra canned tomatoes just in case; as somone once said, we're all just 4 square meals away from mayhem and apocalypse.
Luis Nguyen
what survival stores in bolivia? just bolvians doing their thing? bolvia economy has been growing almost 10% past decade, almost as good as bitcoin, so their fine; still rom for much more growth with plenty of gas and lithium (basically all lithium for batteries comes from bolivia)

Nothing is going to happen outside of the financial bubble, people companies producing real value are doing great. The everyday economy is all green.

Business was booming in 2007 too, then there was a very fast massive meltdown.
and Dalio seems to know his shit. if he's skeptical, so am i.
maybe i'm thinking of some place else, but i remember reading some dudes account of like a year long stay in a civil war type environment. like no toilets, trash bags were gold, roaming gangs and shit. help me out. somebody remembers this right?

Unsurprising. I do wonder if it will take 12-24 months or if we'll see it happen within the year.
if you guys believe the non sense from the us financial media your a complete retard. This is all set up and fake direction from real money, you think they'd EVER give you any sort of insight into their real investment thesis you are a moron. Probably just an inside joke between the big boys

I love how these dinosaurs think that debt is going to crash the economy. Debt doesn't exist. It is literally a mental construct. All the worlds global debt are just numbers in a database. Same with most of the worlds currencies. Cryptocurrencies will obsolete all fiat debt, not through debt forgiveness but through the devaluation of fiat.

"There is a whole lot of hitting the gas into capacity constraints that will lead to nominal rate rises driven by the markets,” Dalio wrote. “We are in the part of the cycle in which the central banks’ getting monetary policy right is difficult and that this time around the balancing act will be especially difficult.”
While many investors are focusing on the U.S.’s potential economic strength in 2018, “we are focusing more on 2019 and 2020 (which is the next presidential election year),” he said in today’s post. “Frankly, it seems to be inappropriate oversight to not be talking about the chances of a recession and what that recession might look like prior to the next election.”

>debt doesn't exist Are you insane?

You're on the right track, but you're still retarded. The REAL reason crypto will replace banks is that you cannot have a negative crypto balance.

That's good insight. Right now everyone is praising that the stock market went up by a lot but with the bond rate being near 3% and the interloan bank being at an insane low, everything points to a near recession.
That's high confidence.
Lucas Cook
>Cryptocurrencies will obsolete all fiat debt, not through debt forgiveness but through the devaluation of fiat. This is the most worrying aspect to me. I'm not gonna become a millionaire because Bitcoin suddenly grows to 500k apiece. I'm gonna become a millionaire because the dollar has entered hyperinflation as the USD dies.

When shit caves in Donald Asshole and the Retard Party take 100% of the blame.
One hundred percent.
The resulting Blue Wave will be so fucking huge we'll literally have North Korean level socialism here.
Except instead of a fat Korean guy, we'll have Bernie, Pelosi, and Katy Perry at the head.
It will be unbearably left, ball crushingly feminist, and black lives WILL finally fucking matter.
It will bring hate speech laws and free healthcare and a lethal ego death for hypermasculine white fuckboys.
It will be the end of laissez-fairy Wolf of Wall Street style capitalism forever.
And it will be beautiful.
Literally the Second Coming without all that moralizing invisible sky cunt hocus pocus.
Look, babydicks, I know you wanted to bet big on your mememoney lottos and get stinking rich. The ugly truth is, next to none of you would ever make it.
Just man the fuck up and smile when we're living in a fairer world.
It'll be easy to stay out of the gulags if you're not a Nazi twit.
I know it will suck to give up problematic memes and hating women for a while, but fuck.
After you live under "from each according to their ability, to each according to their memes" for a few holy years, shit you always thought you hated will FINALLY make sense.
Trust me.

>To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenevs Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
>And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Use a fucking wallet sometime you jew

its funny seeing how many retards got triggered by this the "debt" is foreign countries investing in the United States. the US has never failed to pay on a bond and if anyone tried to crash the economy, it would take them with it. countries like china need the US.
before you stupid fucks claim china is better than the US, no. their reinvestment in our economy drastically outweighs any trade deficit. see: Japan 1980s

Sell it all for cash, even the cash, and go long seed potatoes and bic lighters. You've been warned.
Adrian Foster
Bonds are past their equilibrium value at the moment, so absolutely don’t buy.. but if you’re holding, maybe try to wait a lil and milk a pop if you trust you can get out on time.
Crypto is just as speculative as ever, if big financial institutions start failing, it *will* be in bitcoins favor.. but only in the long run. Hold your coins, sell what you need to get by, and dollar cost average down if you want to buy in anytime soon.. however that is not advisable just with current levels of uncertainty. Crash incoming means keep some liquidity to jump into stocks if they become devalued to an attractive level. Keep liquidity, but Cash is your worst bet rn
Certainly reason for alarm rn, but as long as you are aware and ahead of the information, you’ll be fine user. Keep your head up and swiveled, perhaps there is even some money to be made when these bigwigs fall from grace..

In all seriousness mate; Donald Trump is a salesman. If shit comes crashing down on his watch he'll hop on the TV, and announce to the American People who is really to blame. The bankers the senate, the corrupt isreali lobby...

Why is this guy betting against Europe? In all other media/big guy reports I have read recently, the consensus seemed to be that Europe finally is getting their shit together whereas the us is fucking up, so folks are moving money from us to eu. Why's he different?
Adam Ward
The thing is that will never happen, things will continue to slump along. Part of me wishes that things would happen, because then we could have a civil war and finally kill all of you damn communists and actually have a respectable society again.
I'm sorry, but leftists are too busy being gay and sucking their own dicks and taking poz loads in order for them to be effective. The best your movement can hope for is to be lead by hood niggas instead of white faggots, but the sad part is the hood niggas won't have the technical know how to win, and the only ones with a modicum of intelligence will be too busy getting high on drugs and engaging in sodomy to be effective

Cash worst? What else is there when everything else is in a bubble?
I'm thinking of staying mostly cash because a crash will likely start with devaluation of stocks and houses, both of which I wanna buy. But I'm also gonna put some money into crypto and safe stocks in case it's fiat that starts devaluing suddenly aggressively. Either way cash seems like the most flexible bet for now.

There're such talks on biz every time the stock market drops for more than 5% for the last several years and I suppose people like you were saying "muuuh recession , murrrr durrrr apocalypse , buy canned food" every time your burger GDP dropped. Jews aren't interested in any kind of huge recession/instability/unrests. They just need to scare off normies with some "unprecedented financial crysis" just to show them afterwards that everything is under control. The antiutopian world of the future won't be the one that you're imagining - with shortage of resources, cannibals and slave trading. It will be just full of brainwashed SJW and some masterrace above them

I've thought about the last part before. If you have a standing debt right now of 10000 dollars and dollars become worthless, it should be pretty easy to pay that off.
