The economic crisis is obviously not over and Gavin obviously looks like a retard for saying it was.
Well that might be true, but meanwhile my kids' stocks are giving good returns, there are lots of jobs and the company I work for keeps hiring new people.
SpaceX made history, Tesla electric cars are here to save the day and my country has 50% of electricity from renewable sources.

Even Greece is still here. And if it wasn't what do I care if some banks and Greece go under? Things are honestly not looking so bad to me.

Yeah world banks and governments are still super corrupt and stupid and spending too much on bombing random middle eastern countries, but I will forgive people thinking things are pretty cool right now.
I don't know why things are so good considering above stupidity, but at the moment they are.

Now in the future with devastating climate change and peak oil and war triggered by USA and Russia stupidity maybe the story changes.

I hedged my bets on all sides. I have Bitcoin, I have cash, I have savings, I have stocks, I have a little gold, I have my own small business and a full time job - the world can do whatever it damn well pleases.

And on topic: We need bigger blocks, go go go. Lets try 2mb and see if the world ends eh?

"devastating climate change and peak oil?"

ManBearPig aside, do you even read the news?

Wow, I don't know how do deal with someone suffering with such dullest-spoon-in-the-dishwasher worthy delusions.

But your Gavin-like Debby Denial economic illiteracy is duly noted.   Wink



You have made it to Stage 3.  Good job!

Enjoy your green shoots of fake growth and false recovery while you can.  Don't forget to get some silver while it's cheap.
