Crypto may be a good choice as well, depending on which one, something grassroot like hive may be a good one since it offers an actual service and this last fiasco with steem solidified it's value as an asset free from centralization. My spidy sense tells me that some of them like bitcoin might be a government operation especially after I saw a statement from our Canadian government saying they have been experimenting with crypto related projects since 2009...sounds a bit fishy since back then nobody knew what cryptos were. I have done some digs into some strange things and came across some concerning official declassified government documents from the 40's and again an updated version in the 60's, like an instant red pill. They have a 100 year plan, in other words if things don't change by 2045 we are in big trouble. The protest are intentional and part of that plan to further erode civil rights in my opinion, like 9/11 version 2.0.

I have been advocating for my peers to think outside the box but as you say, everyone seems to be asleep at the wheel even tho there is significant evidence pointing in that direction since the debasement of our Canadian currency in 1967. The banks cash in on our failures, well those who are over-extended in debt at the very least. I have made it a point to stay debt free. I may not be keeping up with the Jones but at times like these, I am also not stressed or on the verge of loosing it all. I hope I'm wrong but I think the whole thing collapse by the end of this year or next year with a push towards UBI and cashless society and a technocratic state, we are pretty much there already. As it stands, many big banks are on life support and they can't allow them to fail or the whole thing comes crashing down so the governments subsidize them instead. With all the mortgage deferrals, unpaid rents and the closure of many small businesses will be catastrophic for the rest of us since many countries now have bank bail-in laws.

The other indicator that pushes me towards precious metals, last year gold was returned to a tier 1 asset and that is big. Perhaps somebody is rooting for the little guy and fighting against the technocracy agenda trying to implement gold backed currency like it once was when money had value but for that to happen, gold will need to be repriced. I can sort of see that slowly happening at the moment. The corruption needs to end but average joes need to put down the dank memes and do some studying on history and finances for that to happen. You are right with "you never know where it will go". I hope I'm wrong on all of this but...I think I may be on to something.
