The Great Rotation: Why Money is Moving to Safety



This guy takes a no-hype, reality-based look at the current landscape, and gave me some ideas to ponder this weekend. Sound advice, all of it. He touches on crypto but not a rah-rah plea, just another asset class to consider or try to understand.

That's why he is pushing Powell for the interest rate cuts.

I was criticized 3 months ago for talking about the possibility of losing the dollar as the world's currency. It isn't likely but with Krasnov goons in positions of economic power world, domestic and foreign confidence in our government will tank. Investors, domestic and foreign will shy away.

Don't laugh at what the BRIC countries are doing trying to replace the dollar.

The stock market is so bloated, the correction is coming.

1) trump tanks the dollar - on purpose
2) this causes a “national emergency” - we are forced to go to a crypto currency. one morning you will wake up and your bank accounts etc will be denominated in some brand of crypto
3) trump will declare “hard assets” (gold etc) as outdated and will announce the selling of the nations holdings to pay down the national debt
4) using crypto, trump, musk, thiel, et al will buy most of that gold
5) crypto will collapse - on purpose
6) trump, musk, thiel et al will be left holding everything

Krasnov's main economic goal has been to tank the dollar and boost crypto.

A member of the Fed board retired early, yesterday, sure to be replaced by a Krasnov goon.

Krasnov's firing of the BLS commissioner, sure to be replaced by a Krasnov goon.

Krasnov wants control of the Fed and the economic statistics, the economic forecasts. Only people in Krasnov's close inner circle will be privy to the real data.

Putin and Xi are the major players in the move to replace the dollar as the world's currency.

Yeah I liked that too. Felt more grounded than most of the “buy this now” stuff you usually see. I’m not huge on crypto either but I get why he framed it as just another piece of the puzzle. Good reminder to keep things balanced instead of chasing hype.
