@SimonDixonTwitt War is back in Europe.
Government debt is sky high in Europe.
No coincidence there. Historically war break out at the end of a debt cycle. Politicians try to blame an enemy for all the problems created by debt. @RayDalio writes about that.
Why should our lifetime be different?
@zerohedge Mass migration is just another symptom of badly managed states. As long as voters from left and right fight over such issues, politicians are safe.
At the bottom of the problem is fiat money. It allows missmanaged states to continue.
Fix the money, fix the state.
If you are over 60 years and think a good pension is sufficient, here is the bad news:
- the long-term debt cycle is near the end
-all that debt will never be paid back
-governments will print, to finance debt
-inflation will increase
Your whole life the debt cycle went up. The next years will be different.
Own hard assets.
@MichaelAArouet Real means adjusted for inflation. But who is giving out those official inflation statistics? Are they honest? From my experience, not so much.
Gold is a much better tool to mesasure purchasing power. It works since 5000 .years
@MichaelAArouet The Polish people still get ripped of:
-nominal wages doubled
>>deduct inflation
>>real wages only rose 25%
Howevr, the best comparison is gold. It works since 5000 years. And there you see that Polish wages still make their people poorer..
There is only one nation in the world that shut down its energy.
This nation used to produce steel, cars and machines.
The world admired the quality of its products.
All that is changing fast. The last step of a badly run nation is war.
It would be their 3rd WW.
Which nation?
@RonStoeferle Higher oil prices would be only a temporary spike in inflation. It is the continous printing of money that is fuelling inflation. The theft with fiat money is much older than Trump.
@RonStoeferle Sarcasm is the only way to cope with what is coming:
-Higher inflation
-Old people losing their life savings
-Young people not getting ahead financially
Protection can be as simple as buying gold or bitcoin. Starting with small investments is the way.
If you are over 30 years and can't afford a house:
Just wait.
There are millions of homes owned by the boomer generation. In the next 20 years many will move out.
Prices will fall.
Your time to buy will come.
But maybe there are better investments than a house?
@Power_Phrases It is fear that keeps people in those jobs. They remain slaves their entire life. Work with those fears:
-Write down what scenario you fear
-Think how you could repair it
-Write down what inaction costs you
You will realize inaction is more costly then action.
@RayDalio The warning sign:
When the debt burden becomes too high, young people feel it first. -They arrive late to buy assets. >>Prices are high already.
-Their income is insufficient to borrow
>>So they live with mom&dad and are angry
Listen to the canary in the coal mine.
@MichaelAArouet It's the old savanna brain from 10,000B.C. that is holding people back from investing now.
"What if price fall? What will others think?"
This fear of rejection is still hard wired. Back then the group ment survival. Now it's holding us back.
What is fear and what is real?
@100trillionUSD If someone didn' t buy yet, the reason is not a lack of information. It is fear disguised as smart reasoning: wrong time, high volatility.
In reality, leaving the fiat crowd and becoming a bitcoiner triggers the fear of rejection.
Work with that fear. Investing follows.
Why buying gold and bitcoin is a peace project:
-Countries built up debt
-Money printing starts
-Inflation picks up
-Social unrest follows
-Politicians claim enemies inside and ouside are responsible
-War breaks out
- More money is printed to finance it
This is why historically wars break out at the end of a debt cycle. By investing in gold and bitcoin you sell fiat. The war machine cannot be financed.
Do your part for peace.
@saylor Bitcoin is a peace project, just like in that movie. Fiat brings war and chaos.
I am German. I know what i am talking about. The reason Germans are saving cash is a society trauma from two wars and hyperinflations. Fix that trauma and society heals financially.

They say "prices are down, buy now" . Only low prices are the reason people are scared to buy.
"They could go down more, no?"
It is this fear of of looking stupid in front of your friends. It keeps you looked in a prison. You don't act.
The way out can be as simple as small steps: Buy a bit.
Here we go again. Traders have reacted to rising bond yields by selling gold and silver. Gold fell almost $100 and silver dropped over $2, back below $60. Yet falling bond prices and rising yields are extremely bullish for precious metals. Buy now. https://t.co/CY02g7N0Nj
