Most of you are probably aware of the special situation the world is in right now. I think the next few months will show if we have bet on the right card with Bitcoin or not.
Corona has destroyed the supply chains of the globalized world and showed us how vulnerability the economy is. Countries have tried to prop up the economy with enormous amounts of money in the form of debt or money printing.
The Ukraine war and the energy crisis are now putting enormous pressure on financial markets and countries. In previous crises, such as the last one in 2008, national banks still had the possibility to defuse the situation. Now there is no room for intervention. The market is crying out for money, but inflation is already dangerously high.
The last time the monetary and debt system was put to the test, a world war broke out. We can only hope that maybe this time, with Bitcoin's help, we can find another way out.
How do you assess the current situation the world is in?
I generally agree with your assessment. However, my tinfoil hat and I believe the events you describe as well as others (US and Western Europe halting domestic energy production, an incredible amount of fires and destruction at food processing and distribution centers all over the world, the mothballing of Nuclear Energy, various social structure attacks (race,sex,gender,religion,politics,etc) and on and on) are not happening by accident, and are part of a conspiracy to move the world into a new system.
IF Freedom (and therefore Bitcoin) wins, I look forward to the trials and executions. That is not a joke. There are a few I would like to be present for in person. The damage that has been done to my own family members by the perpetrators of this evil is enough that I would clamp my own hands around certain necks myself, and gleefully watch the lights go out.
God forgive me.
Oh gawd..
You are too optimistic, caps.
You come off as some kind of 20 year old who still believes that there is justice in the world... and happy endings always happen.. blah blah blah.

World wars have little to do with bad debt situations - that's supposed to happen
after those wars end.
WWs are the results of political events (e.g. hypothetically the invasion of Ukraine), not economic ones.
Look what fundamentally changed after 2008 in economics. Pretty nothing, imho. 2022 is just a continuation, delayed by some golden years, climaxing into the BRRRR movement. Corona, yeah shit happens, but it hit economy in it's weakest spot: Globalization, driven by profit maximization.
Just my 2 cents.
All is well with OOM, too?
Are we all living in an illusion, even those of us who have been studying the bitcoin space for several years?
I will agree that it may well be possible to kick the can down the road again and to get another 5-10 years before the next "Major crisis" comes, but kicking the can down the road does not really resolve anything and likely makes the situation worse, again.
So by definition, the can had already been kicked down the road in 2008, so it could not be the same currently as it was in 2008.. because the underlying issue was not addressed and not even close to being addressed in 2008 or any time between 2008 and currently...
In other words, the whole debt situation is worse currently than it was in 2008 because of the fact that the remedy that came in 2008 and thereafter did not even attempt to address the underlying problem but instead delayed it and caused it to become more and MOAR of a BIGGER problema.
Sure, it might feel all the same.. until there is any attempt to look under the hood and into the details.. . .how it feels, versus what is going on under the hood are likely two different things.
