My personal take on this is the collapse is going to stretch out over time to the point the Federal Reserve Note (FRN) is replaced by the new Treasury Note, similar to how Silver Certificates were replaced by FRN's, and then devalued to its final resting point in purchasing power. During this time there will be numerous "crashes," but no one event will mark "the collapse." Looking back in our grandchildren's history books, they will mark this period of time as "the collapse."

So, to answer your question, "by 2020." I have several reasons why and will list them in a coming post.
