Recently, I've had a **lot** of friends asking me what I think is coming next, how they should prepare, etc. The simple answer is: "Hell if I know!" This year has been one of the hardest to predict in my life (perhaps the first one I've had a hard time predicting), and I think this is just the beginning of some really big changes. I guess since this post is about investing, I'll start by focusing on the only two things I beleive are truly **great** investments: * Yourself (physical & mental health, skills, etc.) * Community These are really the only investments that can't be stolen, that ALWAYS have a return in value, and aren't dependant on any particular type of economic system existing out in the world. Since many of you already think that way, or think that' ridiculous; let's head on to the more standard investment options. First, I'll have to lay out the three main directions things could be heading. What you choose to invest in should line up with which future(s) you believe are most likely. --- ![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kennyskitchen/Mj2k1aXi-2020-08-312009_59_18-20200830_101643.mp420-20VLC20media20player.jpg) --- # The 3 Rough Directions * **Option 1:** Basically nothing changes. The plandemic was used to sell a billion+ vaccines, and ramp the authoritarian side of things up just a hair. Everything goes "back to normal" by Spring 2021. *("Standard Statism")* * **Option 2:** The plandemic was the ignition switch for the next stage of NWO Technocracy. By 2021, they are rolling out RFIDs, proof of vaxx is required for airlines & corporate jobs, all cash is recalled and currency goes full digital. *("Technocracy = Cyberpunk")* * **Option 3:** The old system is currently experiencing its death throes. Whether due to all the pressure points they've been hitting (plandemic, BLM, 2 racist sex offenders as potential presidents), the US constantly starting wars for the last century, Grand Solar Minimum, or whatever else... The old way is totally gone. Internet ceasing to exist, replaced by small local mesh-nets, governments largely collapse, no more multinationals, etc. *("post-apocalyptic")* --- # My Top Investements - Based on Timeline **Option 1:** In this particular set of options, things pretty much go back to the way they were pre-plandemic, except that a LOT of people have been woken up to the reality of violent authoritarianism. If things follow this path, then the investments I've been recommending for the past few years are just as valid: * Magic The Gathering Cards - These things have basically consistently increased in value for 30 years. As long as the old world exists, there will be a market for MTG. These are great as anywhere from a short - long term investment. * Cryptocurrencies - My trick is to diversify among coins with actual **new** functionality, coins that serve a purpose. Lots of them, especially the cheap (sub $1) coins. This is your medium-long term investment. * Gold, Silver, Platinum - These are the most obvious; precious metals have been a great store of value for millenia (and now they actually have uses, in electronics) **Option 2:** In this set of options, cash disappears, meaning that the whole black & grey market move into the crypto-currency world. People are still buying their shit from Amazon & such, corporations still run things, you're basically just preparing for the death of the US dollar (and most other nation-state currencies) * Cryptocurrencies - This is the #1 investment for this particular option, since the hundreds of billions of dollars in drug/gun and other black/grey market business will all be switching from cash to crypto. * Magic The Gathering Cards - These may see some dip in use (if they keep events cancelled and stores closed), but even if that is the case, they will retain great value for collectors and shops. * Precious Metals - Same as option 1, they'll keep going up. * Un-back-doored Tech! - Getting things like the Purism phones/laptops, building your own PC, and such will be great things to have. **Option 3:** In this final set of options, which are actually the most diverse, basically all of the old system dies (quickly or slowly), and we find ourselves creating a truly new world. Most of these options include an end (or long hiatus) from global communications/internet - and most will have to live self-sustaining lives for their first time. In this set of options, cryptocurrencies most likely lose all value, as there is no global "internet" to do transactions. * Precious Metals - These will become the standard units of trade (at least temporarily), as they are the only true "money" that currently exists. * Heirloom Seeds - Once the shipping & distribution monopoly collapses, that also means no more food being trucked around, and the only things you'll be eating are what is local or what you've grown yourself. * Tools & Guns - Again coming back to the fact that the whole of the economic system and such will disappear. You need to be able to grow, build, and defend for yourself. * Books - There is a LOT of knowledge that is going to be lost in the majority of its forms. Having books around on gardening, health, engineering, architecture, will be wildly valuable. --- # Thoughts? As always, this is just me, being where I'm at, observing & synthesizing. If there is some **big** gap, I want to fill it. If there are some other great options to invest in, I want to know. Thanks for tuning in, I hope you are all well! See ya soon! --- --- [![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kennyskitchen/c6YAs0GH-KCK.jpg)](https://peakd.com/@kennyskitchen) [![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kennyskitchen/OrFWH7A8-AT.png)](https://peakd.com/@abundance.tribe/) [![bipcot.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kennyskitchen/pplr82z1-bipcot.jpg)](https://bipcot.org/)
