People are using credit and borrowing into huge debt, but even that doesn't provide enough revenue for stores to stay open, and then again without stores, no jobs and without jobs, no money to buy products, stocks free fall for all these companies, there is no more pensions, so the elder cannot buy nor afford, the monopoly such as amazon and Walmart are the super store wars to monopolize the whole system, but then what and who will be able to buy anything?
We all have been stacking silver and gold, and now crypto, but just where will this real wealth go or will they outlaw all three? Which will bring about a black market and outlaws of people trying to survive.
But I'm going to say that I personally believe you can make a lot of money with bitcoins and alt coins, but trade it and diversify some into silver and gold.
One thing I don't agree with is crypto can be taken offline and traded directly between people if they look at it as a source of wealth, sure you go through an exchange to buy it but people are sending it to each other and buying products, services and goods for crypto from each other and I don't believe they can confiscate all that money traded and taken off the exchanges.
All three have value, but only in a situation we don't go into a chaotic situation such as war which we are looking in the face daily with so many countries ready to attack each other.
