From Doug Casey's International Man comes a great article laying out the trend for 2023 and how to profit.
The main gist, have a look at "The Fed is Trapped" graph:
Why? Because it wants to raise rates to stop inflation, but if it does, it will increase the interest rate on its own debt to unsustainable levels. In short, the US government is fast approaching a turning point. The Fed has no choice but to give up its interest rate hiking soon and engage in ever-increasing currency debasement. I suspect we’ll see this happen very soon.
And what causes inflation? Well printing money does. If you look at where we were in 2020, prices have a long way to go to catch up with all the extra currency out there, so inflation is not going down any time soon. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1SL
Let’s piece together some points to see the bigger picture…
Indicator #1: Rigged government statistics understate the actual effects of inflation. (I mean, they exclude food and energy.... scroll down to Core CPI on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Consumer_Price_Index )
Indicator #2: The US has entered an inescapable political-inflation cycle where a majority of voters demand policies that create more inflation. (Both Dems and Repubs are the same...)
Indicator #3: Central planning doesn’t work. The Fed can’t save the day any more than the State Planning Committee of the USSR could.
Indicator #4: Inflation is the only way for the US government to manage its impossible debt load.(We are at over 100% of debt to GDP... https://www.visualcapitalist.com/global-debt-to-gdp-ratio/)
Conclusion: The Fed has no choice but to give up its interest rate hiking soon.
Result: Rampant currency debasement is a trend I think you can bet on in 2023
And with this financial "reset," I fear a lot of banks that are investing and making bad bets on "the market always goes up" theory, will collapse. It may have already started: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/mar/10/european-markets-spooked-by-us-bank-shares-sell-off
I hope that none of this affects you, but ask yourself the question, IF your bank fails, do you have cash at hand for a couple of months expenses? Do you have access to another bigger or local bank?
Do you have Revolut or Wise that can do transfers if you need them? Just be prepared and hope you don't need to use them.
Then comes the investment part... Gold and silver for defense, BTC and ETH for offense (we have heard that before!)

Trying out something new, a video message.
Also to back this up is a good article from Glen Greenwald about how our capacity to reason diminishes during the highly charged climate surrounding a war and war propaganda from BOTH sides.

Michael Saylor shared something recently that may have gone unnoticed by most.... he said it in an interview with Tom Bilyeu recently.... here is the clip:
https://x.com/TheBTCTherapist/status/1869507247526793481
MICHAEL SAYLOR: The first nation to print their own currency to buy Bitcoin wins.
Paul from invest answers then also put together the fact that MSTR is applying to issue more stock to buy more BTC.... is that the same thing? Basically, people will be using fiat to buy stock that will be used to purchase BTC. But the BTC supply is limited.... so get your MSTR (or your BTC) soon! (NOT financial advice....)
But this is not what Satoshi's original 2008 whitepaper (https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper) had in mind when it developed Bitcoin, it was suppose to be a peer to peer cashless transaction system, right?
Roger Ver thinks so, and wrote a book about it called Hijacking Bitcoin. This video is a summary of that book ...
Why Doug Casey and Anton Wahlman are wrong about the upcoming election.
Let start by reading and listening to what they have to say:
https://antonwahlman.substack.com/p/america-is-now-a-socialist-country
After reading the blog post on Hersey and Liberty, and as we see in the video from Doug Casey on why they think America is doomed to vote in "Commie-La", I think they have missed the bigger picture on the American electorate and what is driving the upcoming election.
Going through history, the three things that are the biggest motivations for the motivation to "Throw the bums out" are;
1. It's the Economy, stupid
2. How safe am I now?
3. Foreign Wars
Maybe the 2nd and 3rd reasons are intertwined, but this is the main three. And Commie-La, as much as she may try to run against the current administration, people know, she is part of the machine in power. With all three of these big picture items against her, the chances she pulls this off are extremely low.
Doug and Anton are reacting to a ...
I liked this article on Substack, and of particular interest is the video from Richard Nixon. Oh if we could only go back and know then what we know now.
