There are plenty of bullish figures on the world of crypto, and I certainly don't have a hard time finding reasons as to why we are all going to be grateful to have gotten involved with this futuristic technology. That being said, I wonder if at times we don't really know what we are asking for.
Is it possible the next recession is around the corner? Yes, very much so, and it seems very likely like the way we "survive" the crash is through escaping the legacy system. You may think I'm exaggerating, you may think I've become a prophet of doom, but the signs are becoming louder and it's up to us to recognize the patterns.
The recent trade wars are among other things, elements that are exacerbating the problem even more. We are literally standing on a bubble, that keeps on getting bigger and bigger. Yes, the government loves to point out GDP and job numbers, but they fail to show in their presentations where "the money" is coming from.
If you dig a little deeper, you find very alarming things under the hood. The stock buybacks are absolutely insane, and the amount of Central Banks that own stocks is a telltale sign of the artificial propping we are currently living in.
But, how do we continue moving up? How does the GDP continue to increase every year? In two words: Quantitative Easing. The Central Banks set their rates so low, they are left with no other choice but to print more dollars to then turn around, buy the stocks, and pretend the house is not on fire.
Will we make it? If we hold crypto, will we be safe? The truth is, I don't know. I think so, I feel confident about my choice, but nothing in life is guaranteed. You see, Russia is buying Gold, China is buying Gold, and the reasons why are obvious to those who are paying attention.
So we might ask ourselves, Should we buy gold? Silver? Maybe, maybe it's smart to hedge like that too, but I'm inclined to think that the convenience of these emerging crypto economies will actually work out a lot better for us, the little guys.
Point is this... If you are paying attention. What is your hedge?
