I still can't figure out for the life of me why people approach the whole crypto space looking for profits measured against a dying fiat currency. Fiat is s**t today. And it will only get worse. The current fiat paradigm is running on pure faith and fumes world-wide. It will go the way of dinosaurs in its current form.
You should not care how much your crypto stacks are worth in paper with colorful inks printed on them... you know, the stuff issued by entities who hate you and could care less if you are dead. Yeah. Those guys.
One day soon, the reserve currency (personal opinion: 12-15 years absolute tops, and likely much sooner) will falter and once it starts to, it will be too late to do much of anything but watch your fiat become worthless toilet paper. Those of us who understand this are solely interested in obtaining as wide and varied a basket of cryptos as you can and holding long term - until the big overshoot.
Everyone knows the coins of today will be replaced with the coins of tomorrow, with finer revisions occurring at a faster and faster pace. Knowing this, serious crypto-enthusiasts understand that owning any sort of cryptos is equivalent to owning prime lottery tickets to a possible future so bright, it is still difficult to imagine - but nothing more.
The steam roller that is the world reserve currency today is so big and unwieldy, you must get out of the way as there's no other option. There is no way you will remain intact if you try to weather the storm with paper denominated instruments. This is the big one coming up. All reserve currency busts in the past 700 years occurred during and within the period of history when fiat was backed by hard assets, namely gold and silver. Since 1971, that has not been the case - a first in written/known history; it is the first time in the history that we know about that every country in the world floated their own national currencies against a world reserve currency backed by nothing except guns, jail, and nuclear weapons.
I'm not trying to spread doom and rain on the crypto parade. Just the opposite. People need to see the forest for the trees. Our owners have pushed it past the point of no return. They are going for broke this time.
Pounding the threads with questions asking for predictions for a future more fraught with uncertainty than ever before is directing our energy towards the wrong goals. We are on the front lines in the battle for the minds of the masses. It is our job to act as ambassadors for crypto and work to spread the ideas to new people as often as we can. We need something called critical mass and it all begins and ends with the numbers. It's not our job to convince every one we see; we only need to 'wake up' approximately 13-15% of those we speak to, and eventually nature will take care of the rest.
The masses have a choice coming up.... Do they want to be taken care of and be treated like chattel - or do they want to take care of themselves and live their lives in freedom in whatever form that might take.
I suggest several things of everyone: 1.) Spread the word daily (repetition is needed), 2.) Own crypto, gold, silver, and real estate if possible (or any combination of those), 3.) Be patient, 4.) Get out of debt if possible.
The system is what it is. It's not magic. They'd like you to think that but it's all lies and propaganda. When the curtains go up, don't be caught with your pants down - your grandchildren and great grandchildren will live with your decisions.
