r0ach, Armstrong has written about that sometimes a strong dictator is superior. He often uses Julius Caesar as an example.
You shouldn't allow Armstrong's interpretations impact your objectivity of the performance of his supercomputer modeling of events in time, with an unverified claim of the largest historical database ever assembled at some ~$billion in cost (in today's dollar value).
I watched him predict the Ukraine crisis, before it was on any one's radar. I watched him predict the rise of the War Cycle back in late 2013 and early 2014.
People focus too much on day-to-day even month-to-month speculations. That is not the value of Armstrong's model. It is the long-dated predictions of his computer which are stable.
I do have an issue with Armstrong's database and model not being open sourced. Makes me very skeptical about whether he is some figurehead financed by the global elite to deceive us. But life is not perfect. We must operate with fuzzy data. His model has been predictive for me.
My mistake was assuming BTC was correlated to gold, even though Armstrong never wrote that. That was my mistake, not Armstrong's. I realize now that BTC is correlated to safe haven liquidity same as the dollar and USA stocks. This seems to indicate that maybe before gold starts to blast off in 2018 or so, that Bitcoin will suffer some bad fate perhaps (does my altcoin project destroy Bitcoin? lol). Or maybe BTC becomes correlated with gold.
