Imagine for a moment you put your entire life savings in an investment. You see it as a very stable investment since the entity behind it has been around for more than 200 years. There are also over 300 million people involved domestically with many more around the world. You see it as the very definition of stability. Just about every company you do business with, every transaction you're a party to, in some way or another validates the entity involved in this investment. Sounds like a no-brainer, right?
Now imagine you were shown irrefutable evidence that 1.9 Trillion (yes, with a "T") new shares were going to be created for this investment which will clearly dilute your holdings. Imagine further if historical evidence all the way back to 1913 demonstrate (irrefutably) that the purchasing power of your holdings in this investment have steadily gone down.
A lot.
Would you still feel the investment you're involved in is stable? If not, what would convince you to seek other investments?
As I'm sure you've figured out by now, the investment you're involved in is the United States Federal Reserve Note or the "US Dollar." As I've been saying since 2013, there's a technology which will be more disruptive than the Internet based primarily on the fact that it exposes the weakness of the US Dollar investment and creates an alternative to it.
Most people only change their mind once the majority of people they know also agree it's time to change their mind. This leads to a "follow the leader" mentality where those who get to position themselves as perceived leaders (even if their actual approval rating is at all time lows) can greatly benefit from the indecision and ignorance of the masses.
At what point will you decide which investment to be part of?
When will you do some research to understand the alternatives to the US Dollar investment you're fully committed to now? As you can see here, many others before you have already decided which investment they want to be part of:
This may be a little easier to visualize on the log scale:
Supply and demand are the basis for voluntary price discovery determining the perceived value of any asset or investment. This shared understanding determines financial value. The supply of bitcoin is limited. Yes, there are many other cryptocurrencies which can be created out of nothing, but they are constrained by the same shared belief systems and network effect which determine value and liquidity to move into and out of one medium of exchange to another.
Please, for your own sake and the sake of your family's well-being, don't sleep on this. Put in the work to level up a bit and understand the investment you're currently involved in. Ask yourself if that's the best investment you could be in. I'm not suggesting you should invest in something you don't understand or that you should go all-in to crypto (as I did in 2018 when I sold my business). I'm suggesting you understand the investment you're already in and if it's not serving you as well as it could, educate yourself on alternatives and start small. You can convert a small amount of your USD into cryptocurrency today using popular exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, or Gemini. You can even buy directly within PayPal. You can get yourself a free FIO Address by downloading a wallet like Edge Wallet to make sending and receiving cryptocurrency easier.
We're reaching a point where there will be no excuse not to understand what's going on. Do yourself a favor and put in the time to level up. Take a day off work if you need to. If you pay attention and act on what you learn, it's possible you could earn more educating yourself about the investment you are currently in and the investment you should be in then you will ever gain at your job.
I hope you found this useful. I hope to hear you made a change in your default investment to something better.
