Yeah, this is all more or less what I expected. It seems like most of the first world is willfully ignorant of what's going on. Behind closed doors I can easily imagine a lot of high powered people feeling powerless to stop the oncoming onslaught. The Chinese have more openly noticed and seem like they are posturing to grab more economic power when the crash comes but I'm not sure it's within their capability to benefit because they are so heavily exposed to the potential fallout.

I don't know what this will ultimately mean for crypto. My expectation is that it will initially take a hit in the same manner most asset classes will, after that there's a fair chance money will flood into it in a desperate attempt to escape the ever more obviously rigged financial system. Although it might take multiple cycles of this for it to shake off the stigma surrounding it and become a legitimate new frontier for financial management.

Also, I LOVE toblerone!
