I appreciated very much your views on Europe and especially
Germany. Most of what I read says that Germany is really rockin' even while not mentioning the strong ties that Germany has with the rest of (faltering) Europe. Your comments balance that noise...

Don't get me wrong, Germany is still kind of rocking, at least compared to much of the rest of the EU...
You are uninformed as 0.7% growth (and on a consistent decline after peaking at 4.2% in 2010) is not rocking:

Global sovereign debt BIG BANG starts 2015.75.
And it will be worse than horrific.
WTF is wrong with you people? This is a 200 - 300 year high in global debt (even the IMF said that).
This is a 200 year event.
This ain't gonna' be no Great Depression 2.0. It is going to be like the collapse of Rome from 1.4 million to 30,000 population and stayed that way for 600+ DARK years.
Do you boiling frogs have any freakin' clue why? Look at what the bastards are doing:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=564097.msg6278398#msg6278398Dude, keep your cool and read that phrase you quoted and my OP again carefully! Your anger is making you adress the wrong people. I would say 0,7% is pretty rocking compared to what's happening in Spain, Italy, Greece or Portugal.
I'm basically of your opinion, and I think this could be as bad or worse than the great depression. You are smarter than me, because you know it will start exactly in 2015 (so 7th of May 2015 or what) and know exactly how bad it will be. I don't know when it will start or how bad exactly it will become.
