Hey, need a quick opinion poll. Should I drive 50 km (convert it you fucking savages) to the 24/7 store to buy booze, or not?
All depends on your method of transportation. Its the journey not the destination that really matters. If you got the
last of the great V8 superchargers to ride there and back, then its not even a question. Dont waste time, go out and enjoy that open road. If you gonna be stuck in LA traffic for 6 hours in a shitbox on wheels with no aircon then no, go fishing or something instead.
I think $15,000 is pessimistic.
I think of those choices 5 to 10k because as I remember it and I'm not negative exactly but on the last halvening event the majority of the gain came after. The run up before was more like a slingshot that help to restart momentum upwards, people at that time were probably a bit disappointed and/or short sighted in thinking just the event was the target of everything. People tend to be a bit too short term short sighted, human nature unfortunately
The manner in which UK citizens are blithely going about their daily lives without any pre-planning or taking personal responsibility for themselves in what may be a challenging period is concerning.
Its been true for some time, probably in many countries thats it been a good idea to run a personal stock pile. With cash having no value yielded when held anywhere and inflation quite inevitable, holding the food or whatever consumer commodity as a rolling asset seems quite smart reasonable thing to do. Only space is a problem, people could store coffee or anything really, some things are quite compact and dont really go off and are worth alot. I can remember people discussing this in 2008, I think some still might do it but not many now. Years later people got complacent.
UK should be fine trading with other nations still. Its mostly the greater latency from going around EU but Switzerland, Norway and a few others are not part of EU restrictions and still close. I still doubt Germany wants to lose a large customer to their exporting companies, makes little sense to cut off a paying customer. Also it makes politics look incompetent (business is always more important then talking heads), so I imagine a deal at the last hour will be done despite the various attempts to usurp and unbalance the opposition by 'rocking the boat'
Politics is often silly imo, more fun would be the Taiwan parliament throwing water balloons and chairs at each other
