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3) trump will declare “hard assets” (gold etc) as outdated and will announce the selling of the nations holdings to pay down the national debt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
