The Crisis of the 21st Century

In our generation a lot of people wish they were born in different times. I often find memes that describe the nostalgia of times we never knew. There are a lot of things wrong with the world we have inherited from those who preceded us, but these problems created crisis.

In times of crisis, there are winners and losers. There is an opportunity to join either party of your choosing. It was during the crisis of the 3rd Century that Aurelian rose to save the Roman Empire. It was in the crisis of the Great Depression that lead to the dominance of the United States Dollar for decades.

In our lives, we face crisis after crisis. While I admit they come so fast that we barely have time to think about them and calculate their meanings, we still have the opportunity to come ahead.

In times of crisis, there are always opportunities for those who know where to look. History has shown us that out of the ashes of disaster, new leaders and dominant forces can rise up.

The COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. While many have struggled during this time, others have found ways to thrive. With the government printing unprecedented amounts of money, savvy investors were able to turn their stimulus checks into profitable investments. Some chose to invest in cryptocurrency like Ethereum, while others invested in property or e-commerce giants like Amazon.

As we continue to face crisis after crisis, it's important to remember that with every challenge comes a chance for growth and success. It's up to each individual to seize these opportunities and come out ahead.

Future

Every other day, someone mentions that we're living through the largest wealth transfer in history. I think about how to benefit from it every day. The idea of US Dollar Hyperinflation is scary because I'm paid in dollars, but it's an opportunity for those who hold hard assets.

I look at a world of nation-states seeking to go to war with each other. In the past, fiat economies printed tons of money, leaving citizens holding the bag of inflation. The winner will be whoever can print the most and maintain the greatest value.

Well, with cryptocurrencies, I can choose whether or not to hold that bag. I prefer not to fund a war by holding a soft currency.

The crisis of this century revolves around one question: Where is the power? Does it lie with the money printer and oligarchs, or with the people? I know that was technically two questions, but I'm fuming with excitement.

We should be excited to watch the days news and the next things that come alive in the media. We should revel in our youth and claim our power of choice! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
