I wonder if you haven't missed some nuance as to his investment strategy. He stated he used to keep ~75% of his assets in equities, but in the last three years has withdrawn almost all of it to cash. Given his deep and extensive knowledge of the liquidity pump that has inflated the current asset bubble, I suspect he knows it has to dry up sooner or later - but not when. When crashes come, it's too late to pull out, as many learn to their chagrin.

He's staying out of the current equities market, but isn't averse to equities.

I observe that the lack of faith he shows in the banking/Wall St. system is mirrored by his lack of faith in crypto, and perhaps for the same reasons. While crypto theoretically can be trustless, BTC shows that weasels can get into position to preclude that entirely. The lightning network obviates entirely the trustless nature of BTC, and the entire block size debate and xfer fee situation has been engineered to create privileged providers that require trust in them in order to trust the blockchain.

I completely agree with his assessments of those issues (if that's actually what is behind his doomsaying).

Fortunately, I pay zero attention to Twatter, Fakebook, or any other such centralized platform, so am absolutely ignorant of the controversies of which you treat here. I appear to be the proverbial underrock dweller in that regard =p.

Simon Black, of Sovereign Man blog, similarly discusses the puffery and fragility of the current equities market, and you might profit philosophically from having a look at his posts, as they do seem to dovetail quite cleanly with Dr. Doom's views, yet are all about investing, not at all avoiding it. I reckon both are averse to unreasonable and avoidable risks, which are practically unavoidable in the current equities markets, as well as in cryptos.

Thanks!
