    Easy to make the assumption you are, but I think it's wrong.


    After he civil war majority of slaves remained to work on their farms, with far less cost and responsibility now on the farmer. And/or they switched to leased prison labor, which was vast majority ex slaves and other blacks. With the added "benefit" of them only costing about $12/mth with limitless replacements if you worked them to death.

    I think the slave owners made out like bandits. Maybe I have it wrong? Anyone?

    Recession coming. Time to buckle up.

    Everything going to drop now. People are pulling investments and not investing now in this unstable inflation driven economy that's only getting worse under this horrid Biden Presidency.

    It's only about 10 years since USA went through the longest and deepest recession in it's modern history.


    How quickly did we bounce back from that?

    2008 was the middle of it. What was a house worth in Jun 2008 compared to June 2010?

    Recessions are often a needed reset and always provide opportunities for those who do not get caught up in the banking industry propaganda and panic seeding.



    Also Jibbby, I hate to break it to you, but a recession = 3 consecutive negative growth qurters.

    America was already suffering 2 negative quarters at the time Biden won the election and USA actually really was on the brink of recession.

    Since then there has been 4 positive quarters followed by this last one at -1.4%

    Do you know the growth rate in Trump's last quarter? -31.2% (his 2nd last quarter was -5.2%)

    Trump's best quarter in his entire presidency was +3.8%

    Do you know that 3 of Bidens first four quarters all were over +6%?

    Seriously wondering if you realize that the way you talk.


    We are no where even near the brink of recession today. Just fake news from banking industry and political barrow pushers.

    they made bad bets and lost the game

    Those 3 strong quarters were entirely based on Covid shut down recovery. That was going to happen under any Presidency.

    Biden Government massive over spending drove up inflation to what it is today and the Biden administration on day one began cutting gas and oil production ( one example - The Keystone Pipeline). The Biden administration creating more regulations on the energy companies caused gasoline prices to skyrocket.

    Biden's goal to push the Green new deal has backfired miserably as the American people are not running out to buy expensive electric cars.

    Your Aussie based information on this current US economy is VERY VERY skewed and just wrong!

    Not sure where we are at now but recessions are needed. It shakes out the bad businesses as it does the bad crypto projects. Your political views are probably the opposite of mine. Sky News Australia has Biden pegged perfectly. I listen to a lot of news broadcasted outside of the US. Especially on the war in Ukraine. It's nice to get the take of India and some European countries. I listen to English channels where I can find them. IPTV and YouTube have a lot.

    but but but, you said "Recession coming, buckle up".

    That's what I answered and simply asked you if you were aware of the numbers that really do not support the black media scare campaign.

    Did you know those figures before? Do you get that they say we are not in or close to recession? (whatever the reasons for them)

    I don't know, many of the slaves left for the North. Some just stayed put. Lincoln produced the Emancipation Proclamation as a war strategy, IMO. By declaring all slaves to be free, it would hurt the South's economy.

    If you really dig deep into Lincoln, he was not the saint many think. Why not let the South break away? We're taught in school he wanted to "preserve the union". Why? What if the EU decided Britain couldn't Brexit? We'll (EU) go to war with you (GB) to keep you in line. That wouldn't sit too well with many people.

    Once you get the complete picture of Lincoln, it really shines a different light on John Wilkes Booth.....

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    On topic: We're seeing the total market cap of crypto hang around the 1.25T mark. While it is down from 3T, it is certainly up from a couple of years ago. A couple of years ago, it seemed to be sub-400B forever. I think the increase over the last few years is mainly institutional - not retail - so that may explain why crypto seems so "coupled" to the stock market....

    Just because you own crypto doesn’t mean you know about crypto. I see you have a fixed and closed mindset on your beliefs on crypto and that’s not healthy. You’ve closed your mind and halted learning with the attitude that you know all and everything, which you’re obviously wrong.

    You are just a sheep and a follower and believe anything the Sec and government shove down the publics throats. You add nothing to this thread but wasted space and embarrassment.
    If you are too stupid to understand what I am saying, let-mah-talk-real-slow——mmmmm——kaaaay

    If we go through a terrible recession, not just some flash COVID crash, risk assets—just like crypto, are going to experience the value being wiped out like you’ve never seen before—-crypto has never been through a real recession before and it is the definition of speculative asset. If you are too slow to understand and don’t see any value from it then I am going to say you deserve your loss porn.

    I've given M78 a ton of rope in this thread. Possibly more than anyone else. One day, he could be proven true.

    BTC seems pretty lame to me nowadays. The Miami conference (mostly) sucked. Confidence is fading, and I don't see the (growing) use-cases.

    Boring times. My current plan is to keep BTC and some ETH. This way I can't get buried. When the market comes alive SOL, ADA types. Then when it's full blown alt season, fire away on APE, FITFI, OMI and others.

    All sports betting in BTC.

    Salud, Laker. Always appreciate your insights.

    I'll give one observation:

    *There's a saying that ANYONE can look smart in a bull market.

    Just funny how people get more mum when markets tank. Don't look so smart.

    Definitely, we all look like geniuses. Just be ready when the next run starts. Last one 10x peak was easy but getting in on DeFi, metaverse and NFTs early was more. There were a some duds for me at the end trying to extend the run such as SAITAMA and TABOO. Be ready again for new things.
