I don't know if you are familiar with Mike Maloney, but he brings up some good point in this video about the near future.
He is a Gold/Silver guy so of course, he has been predicting a correction in the stock market for a long time. He sells gold and silver so doom and gloom sells his products. However, his arguments seems to get stronger every day as the VIX is at all time lows and the market is at all time highs. Some day it will correct, it's just a matter of when.
Of course, crypto should also be a great thing to possess along with gold and silver if a crisis in the market occurs. Recently, he has been talking about crypto and he personally holds some (probably a lot more than most of us can afford!)
If you have never watched his Hidden Secrets of Money series, I highly recommend it. Here is a link to the first video in the series:
Each video is about half an hour long and the series explains a lot about what is wrong with our monetary systems in the world today and the ways that governments (especially, the Fed) have abused the system. The only way to pay down astronomical debts is to print more money which, of course, causes the value of the printed money to decline. It is inevitable. To me, that's where cryptocurrency comes in and prevents this from happening in the future. Hopefully, the government won't be able to control it since the amount is fixed (at least it is for bitcoin) and it is decentralized.
I hope you enjoy these and pick up a few tidbits of knowledge along the way!
