Investments won't matter soon... they're just Ponzi schemes.

 

[Iggy McLulz]

even stocks?

 

[Frood]

Manipulated like sports betting...

 

[Iggy McLulz]

ugh.

 

[Frood]

If you can't hold it, you don't own it.

 

[Iggy McLulz]

just like if you don't have it , you shouldn't spend it

 

[Frood]

Pretty much... logic should always prevail...

Same with every form of fiat currency. If a government can steal the value of it by just printing more of it non-stop, it's just intrinsically worthless paper.

 

[Frood]

All fiat gets rendered worthless eventually....

The US is on the quick path to it now.... the US economic system is in death throes.

Best investment was, is, and is likely to remain precious metals.

Give it another ten years at most, and that'll have whiskey, cigarettes and bullets as viable competition, 'cause dollars won't be.

 

[Frood]

Hard usable goods, actually.

 

[Joe]

precious metals fell pretty hard today @HeadOn!

 

[Frood]

Shush, Johomo...

 

[Joe]

worse than the stock market which took a major hit today

 

[The Associate]

That's to be expected in an active economy. The dollar's decline, however, is steady.

 

[Joe]

well my gold stocks got hammered hard @Frood

Day's comin' when a 21st century dollar will be worth less than a 19th century Confederate dollar, just because the Confederate dollar is a rarity.

All the Dixieland Lost Causers sayin' "The Saowth shall rise agin!" have it wrong. It's not that the South shall rise again -- it's that the Union will fall and make way.

the us banks recently announced they want to get rid of it or change it with something backed by crypto/stablecoin

I don't see why not. Replacing one pretend unit of currency with another pretend unit of currency doesn't make much real difference.

 

[Joe]

except they want to put more of the burden on the consumers to shoulder all the government debt.

 

[Joe]

that's what that Genius Act was all about.

Of course. The parasite will feed until the host dies.
