Calm is a matter of definition. Blind mindless panic is not the only other response to imminent death. One could very rapidly depart the volcano rather than calmly remaining sitting sipping tea while superheated liquid hydrocarbons deep underground are turning to gases. When politicians and Nazi guards tell one to remain calm, it's for their benefit, not yours. A good healthy mass stampede is often a much better idea than remaining calm. Mqurice

When the Federal Reserve has pixelated trillions of new US$ that politicians have already spent and promised more, with negative rate of return on those $ going to killing people in Ukraine and importing millions of jihadist bludgers, a response is required. Seeing the parabolically exponential hyperinflation to asymptotically hyperbolic hyperbole one should get out of town, pronto. Bitcoin is one escape from the frying pan. Golf is another. Land and houses another. Shares in Apple and the Dow at 45,000 another. Where Alan Greenspan used the expression irrational exuberance where the nasdaq was about 1,500 and the Dow around 2,000, in 1996 it was a different time and place. But the pixilated pixelation process had already been in action for quarter of a century. I was already predicting Dow 4,000, 8,000 and even 16,000 before the Y2K crash. I have gold the same price predictions which were annually exactly on the money. Before the GFC I called time as anything could happen which it did. The spigots were opened, Magic Money Theory became popular, inflation was near zero so the pixilated pixelation MADmen went full scale deflection including Trump spending bigly. Oops a daisy. Really dawned. Bitcoin $100,000, gold $3,000, Dow 45,000 with no visible means of support. This is not irrational exuberance, it's fear. The 1990s was the dawn of mobile cyberspace, globalized trade and billions of people adding value. It was rational exuberance though excitement ran too hot and y2k crash cooked that. The It revolution continued and goodness expanded mightily but the evil doers and wastrel spendtgrift swarms ran in parallel. When Crooks missed it changed history. A cusp in reality. Elon Musk and co really could do it. But the hypnotized wokery are everywhere. They have such distorted reality from their limited attention span and belief in TDS that they can't escape. Mqurice
