      A renowned chicken choker like Scoots? I very much doubt it.

        BTC's rise may indeed be pushed up with fiat crash, the attraction of a new asset class by desperate investors looking to safeguard their stock market gains will indeed push up BTC's price.

        We'll be rich beyond our wildest dreams.

          How do you know?

          Everyone seems to have gone mad. Massive massive debts, overbought markets, trade wars, central banks buying up stokes, mad.

                I contracted in the city for twenty-five years (to five years ago), the last twenty years have been nothing but bubble and bailout cycles.

                We really are in a bloody mess.

                  2008 was a debt fuelled crisis triggered by the collapse of financial institutions. Some of which are a corpse being kept alive (RBS I'm thinking of you).

                  10 years later the debt is still there and larger, fuelled by money printing. What will be the trigger this time? Don't think it'll be political. It'll add to it for sure. In the end it'll be something simple.

A reverse protection racket.
                      Think you might be right. Would not touch Tesla stocks with a bargepole. Why investors continue to pump money into the company to keep it running, a compony that cannot generate its own revenue is

                      Meanwhile Mercedes launched their all electric car this week. A car they developed with their own cash. There's no way Tesla can survive in the face of that. Tesla should stick with their space program, that is at least profitable.
