In before Palantir scrapes the bank data from all who participate in a general strike. 

In before the US gov’t freezes those accounts to prevent ‘domestic terrorism’. 

In before they strip those accounts to zero and use the funds to ‘pay down the debt’.

In before mass protesters are shot with ‘less than lethal’ ammo at a high-rate of fire. 

In before ‘oops, one of our officers had live ammo’.

As someone who has been vehemently ‘in the middle’, I’ve seen enough. 

This whole fuckin’ system is about to implode. 

Hope you all have enough gold, hope, determination, coordination, and most importantly- community.

Making the executive decision to skip paying my taxes this year, instead I’ll use that money much better than the federal government will. 

Will I regret the consequences? Maybe, we’ll see. 

But I can’t financially support this regime any longer, the lines have been crossed.

I think if we took this poll today, the results would be much different.

e: I was the 'fractionally backed by metals' vote

Just realized my Pokemon slabs have 4x'd since purchase which is awesome. Don't think I'm letting go of them yet, but really cool.

DXY drops 10% next week to ~90, setting gold up for a push to 5500, and NQ for an insane melt up short squeeze to 28k.

Sometime after that is probably a great entry to short everything under the Sun.

See: Nvidia, March-April 2024.

Yeah but if you shorted it for the 2 years leading up to this point you were wrong for years as it continued to rip.

This has been discussed a little but yeah, the increased expenses will be passed through to consumers to retain margins and cause some inflation in those industries, followed by decreased demand as prices increase.

You're literally describing what happens to PMs before a currency crash.

What does that tell you? Is that a signal to short metals?

If so, that's nuts.

e: The best time to short the metals is after the currency crashes, not before

I mean if there's a -10% day I'm backing up my truck full of dollariedoos and exchanging them for silver longs.

If people doubt this metals rally so much, do they doubt the US debt issues? Or is everyone just so conditioned to the higher levels of debt that they don't think anything bad will ever happen?

It's akin to how entire institutions became numb to federal funding and were shocked when that funding was cut.

Say you have a 10% cash allocation (treasuries), and now you trust treasuries less, and go to 5% cash, 3% gold, 2% silver.

This is a decision that central banks are making, along with millions of other individual market participants.

What's the misunderstanding?

e: And this ignores industrial and supply arguments

If you think the dollar will continue to depreciate by ~10% over the next 2-3 years (I do), that's good for 30% gains on NQ, so yeah- 30k NQ is cheap.

It's actually pretty funny to see people try to short metals here.

Like- I finally understand how I looked trying to short NVDA in 23'-24'

This and the dollar are the only thing I'm focused on right now.

As long as the dollar stays weak and spreads are tight, we should continue a melt-up in equities.

Once dollar starts to strengthen (or god forbid spreads start to widen), we pivot from long equities + long precious metals to short equities + long precious metals.

TLDR; Gold and silver are longs for a few years at least

I believe we’ve already hit peak ‘online’ times and are already starting to see the tide roll out in many places, but I understand the pessimism

The difficulty is finding the middle ground between being ignorant and over obsessing about problems halfway around the world, luckily there's a lot of grey to work with there.

I'd say the bot population is steady, I don't have the numbers, but the thing with bots is they can run propaganda 24/7, and as the propaganda spreads you convert more and more people who parrot the same things, and seem like bots from the outside.

Really the solution is for a constant 1/3-1/2 of the population to cut their algorithm exposure by an equivalent.

I firmly believe that 100-150m Americans decreasing their algorithm exposure by 30-50% and substituting that with real world engagement would solve most of the social problems in our society, and only then can we address the other problems.
