Oops You've Just Been Screwed

LOL and you thought that it was all quiet on the Western Front. You’ve got your fresh milk and eggs in the fridge and your hot coffee in front of your computer screen with a high def look into whats happening in the world. How can things not be good?

I’m writing this post on a Saturday and I literally could be unable to post it on Sunday. Here’s a thought. What would my Bitcoin look like in this scenario. After all its another “virtual” currency backed by WHAT? How do I even have a bitcoin in these type of breakdowns? Now don’t get me wrong. I like the underlying premise of bitcoin, but putting a lot of your eggs in that virtual basket has a ton of risks, so just be aware.

The threat of a global computer breakdown will ALWAYS be present. It will never be eliminated. It is always hanging over our heads and it can drop without any warning. It could be a virus. It could be a global or local power outage. It could be a breakdown in the phone delivery pipe. Its a wheel with a lot of spokes that can breakdown at any time. We all take it for granted just like we take our morning coffee being there.

So what do you do? Do you crawl in your Bunker and pull the steel door closed? Do you buy more storable food? Dig wells for water? I play golf. I spend time traveling with my family. I work at my day job. I listen and watch hours daily of financial related videos. I work out at least an hour a day on cardio while watching my screens.  My preps are in place so I don’t spend time on them. I still periodically add to them, but its not a priority. IF I see a clear immediate threat then I will concentrate on Plan B and Plan C, but for now I enjoy the premise “Its all good” and pretend there is no storm lurking on the horizon. Its NOT a skippy stick my head in the sand but it works. 

Why silver? Silver is for the optimist in me. Its for the what I believe to be only a financial day of reckoning…..not a global slaughter of biblical proportions (and we may just get that). Your silver will be the least of your worries in a global apocalypse. I doubt that silver or gold will be used as currency in our future as long as the power stays up. We will be using virtual currency in the very near future. BUT beware…..these too will NOT be stores of wealth. View them as CURRENCIES. They are medium of exchanges. For now they are also great speculative investments but they are indeed SPECULATIVE. Which means “here today…gone tomorrow”. Silver is an element that has properties which make it PRECIOUS! It will have even increasing value in an increasingly digital world and more importantly in a world where Currency becomes our of necessity DEBASED. 

For now I hope you all realize what’s being done to us. I like the food fights and hope they entertain you as they do me. We are now living in a dystopia and frankly I don’t know how it will resolve. Inflation is here and it will worsen to where it stops this unless they pull the string. So enjoy the game. I do.
