I study the vix, geopolitics and currencies - trying to make sense of what is actually happening in the context of sound bites we get here or there from government.
Its hard to paint an actual picture from a single sound bite or news article.
But when you put them all together you paint a tapestry - some call it a masterpiece - others call it a dystopian hellscape.
For each point I will try to include a relevant news topic.
Lets begin.
The U.S. is not just struggling; it's in a death spiral.
Driven by hyperinflation & desperation, the government is making choices that solidify its descent into kleptocracy and civil breakdown.
Here’s the terrifying truth that is unfolding
Crypto: Not Innovation, But Capitulation.
The government, facing a worthless dollar, is now frantically trying to contain crypto by regulating it into the banking system.
This isn't forward-thinking; it's a desperate attempt to co-opt the flight from fiat before total loss of control.
Its an admission the dollar is no longer a store of value which is pretty damning for a government to turn against its own currency like this.
