I'm a pleb like most of you, and I too have, many times, become pesimistic about the economy in general and in what's about to come. But has anyone ever considered that,
- The economy is not going to crash into a recession
- That there will be an actual soft landing
- That the Russia - Ukraine war will not escalate into a European war
- That Gensler CAN'T truly ban crypto
- Institutional investors will come back and take Bitcoin to six digits
I'm probably missing more narratives, but you get the idea.
It's one thing to be pessimistic, but it's also another to be realistic. I enjoy thinking about things getting better eventually since that keeps me off the constant ringing of problems in my head at the very least, but this economic and global struggle we're in isn't going to end or be gone with a few papers signed and hands shaken. You have to understand that the people who involved themselves in this mess had a clear motive in mind that diplomacy in this stage of the scuffle isn't going to fix.
These goes for everything that we're dealing with right now, crypto at risk of getting banned, Russia not relenting from annexing Ukraine, China's housing bubble collapsing, among other issues, as well as other stuff. This is real, this is happening, optimism is great but if it takes your eyes off of the real situation it becomes delusion.
