2024 Biggest Crash of our Lifetime ?
Where do we stand after 2 years of COVID ?
Published: March 12th, 2024
U.S. economist predicts 2024 will bring 'biggest crash of our lifetime'
2 Years Later: Where does the COVID-19 Pandemic stand ?
Where do we stand after 2 years ?
Published: March 13th, 2022
It’s been two years since the World Health Organization (WHO) sounded the alarm on the coronavirus, declaring that a virus Americans had apprehensively watched from afar as it emerged from China,
surfaced in Europe and struck decisively on the West Coast was, in fact, a global pandemic.
“This Friday marks two years since we said that the global spread of COVID-19 could be characterized as a pandemic,”

Tedros (WHO) said at a press conference this week, adding a sobering assessment of how far the world has come. “As a reminder,
we made that assessment six weeks after we declared COVID-19 a global health emergency – when there were fewer
than 100 cases and no deaths outside China. Two years later, more than 6 million people have died.”
“It’s time for America to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again with people,” Biden said during his State of the Union address. “People working from home can feel safe and begin to return to their offices.”

The Great Return: Companies Are Calling Their Workers Back to the Office as COVID-19 Fades
Economists at Goldman Sachs have now cut their forecast for growth for the world’s largest economy in 2022 to 1.75%

milestones toward the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 7 and net-zero emissions. Key elements of the global roadmap include:
Close the energy access gap: Provide electricity access for the globe’s 760 million people who lack it. Ensure clean-energy cooking solutions for the 2.6 billion people who rely on harmful fuels.
Rapidly transition to clean energy: Abandon all coal plants in the pipeline, and reduce coal power capacity by 50% by 2030. Rapidly scale up energy transition solutions to reach 8,000 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030 by increasing the annual rate of energy efficiency from 0.8% to 3.0%.
Leave no one behind: Integrate equity and equality in energy-sector policy by planning and financing, creating green energy jobs, and mainstreaming energy-sector policies and strategies into ones that ensure just energy transitions.
Mobilize adequate and well-directed finance: Triple clean-energy investment globally by 2030 to accelerate access to finance. Phase out inefficient subsidies for fossil fuels to support market-based transitions to clean energy. Create enabling policy and regulatory frameworks to leverage private-sector investment in clean energy.
Harness innovation, technology and data: Expand the supply of energy innovation that addresses key gaps and increases demand for clean, sustainable energy technologies and innovation through market-oriented policies, harmonized international standards and carbon pricing mechanisms.
The COP26 conference made history for being the first climate summit to explicitly include a “phasedown of coal” in its decision, and it laid out new rules for carbon market mechanisms, commonly referred to as Article 6. A recent research paper estimated that putting a global carbon market in place would save the world around $300 billion annually by 2030.

Inflation in the News Driven by Rich People
Media Pundits Claim 'Inflation Is Good' as Americans Struggle With Less Purchasing Power !
Published: November 19th, 2021
Inflation in the U.S. has a large number of Americans worried about the future of their purchasing power as the cost of goods
and services has continued to rise faster every month. Reports note that Americans are struggling to pay for child care, groceries,
gasoline, lumber, healthcare supplies, and used vehicles. On Friday, Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff told the press U.S. inflation
was “eye popping” and in terms of where inflation is headed, Rogoff stressed he thinks “we’re on a knife-edge.”
Members of the U.S. Central Bank Begin to Favor Tapering Asset Purchases — Taper Discussions to Likely Happen at Fed’s December Meeting.
.....
The U.S. central bank’s policymakers are publicly debating whether or not the Federal Reserve will taper bond purchases and raise the benchmark interest rate.
Fed Governor Christopher Waller told the press today that the tapering should begin soon. “The rapid improvement in the labor market and the deteriorating inflation data have pushed me towards favoring a faster pace of tapering and a more rapid removal of accommodation in 2022,” Waller explained in New York.
The central bank’s vice chair, Richard Clarida, also spoke about tapering today at the San Francisco Fed’s 2021 Asia Economic Policy Conference. “I’ll be looking closely at the data that we get between now and the December meeting, and it may well be appropriate at that meeting to have a discussion about increasing the pace at which we are reducing our balance sheet,” Clarida stressed. “That will be something to consider at the next meeting,” he added.
U.S. Dollar’s Purchasing Power Declines
The rising inflation has taken place in America following the U.S. government’s attempt to mitigate the Covid-19 pandemic with lockdown mandates, shutting down small businesses, and choking the supply chain with coronavirus safety measures. Additionally, the government and Federal Reserve increased America’s monetary supply more so in two years than in the country’s 242 years prior.
The U.S. dollar doesn’t go as far anymore, as the cost of beef, hotel and motel accommodations, gasoline, laundry supplies, natural gas, eggs, vehicle rentals, furniture, and used cars has skyrocketed over the last 12 months. Metrics from visualcapitalist.com indicate that the U.S. inflation rate saw the largest increase in 30 years. Moreover, the cost of fuel, transportation, and meat products have seen the largest price jump, rising from 24% to 39% in just a year.
Childcare and other costs associated with parenting are also surging and bars and restaurants are wrestling with inflation, a labor crisis, and supply chain crunch all at the same time. Across the nation, prices have risen the highest in the Midwest and South in states like South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Minnesota.
Despite the rising inflation, mainstream media (MSM) headlines have been telling the public things like “don’t worry about inflation” for months. The New York Times tried to explain this week that inflation “is linked to the economic recovery” and recently MSNBC deleted tweets that claimed, “the inflation we’re seeing now is a good thing.”
Harvard Economist: In Terms of Where Inflation Is Going ‘I Think We’re on a Knife-Edge’
Americans spending more dollars on goods and services has taken a toll on people’s funds and data shows that the so-called rising wages in America don’t seem to be measuring up to the inflation. There have been many reports presenting verifiable data showing that the rise in American wages does not make up for the rising inflation.
Today, Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff spoke on the broadcast “Mornings with Maria” and the economist explained that America’s inflation is “eye-popping.” The former IMF chief economist told Maria Bartiromo that he thinks “we’re on a knife-edge” in terms of inflation and there’s a “50-50 chance or a little less” the Fed’s “transitory” prediction is correct.
“I think it’s pretty clear that the first stimulus right after Biden took office and maybe the one at the end of the year in 2020 [was] a little too late in the game,” Rogoff explained in his interview. “They have added to the inflation, along with supply chain and everything else,” he added.

Germany humiliated by economists in new damning survey (2021)
Foreigners give Germany bad marks as a business location !
Published: November 18th, 2021
Germany, the driven engine of EU's economy, has been dragging down all of Europe for almost 10 years !!!
Upon of many economic grievances and wrongdoing, Germany has been ranked as one of the least attractive locations for business,
according to a survey of global economists.
"Too expensive and too slow in the transformation": According to the auditing firm KPMG,
.....
foreign corporations are increasingly critical of Germany as a business location and are scaling back their investments. For the tax system and the digital infrastructure, there were particularly bad grades: Here, Germany has "lost further in competitiveness compared to the EU," said KPMG.
The auditors questioned 360 chief financial officers of German subsidiaries of international corporations from the USA, China, Japan and Europe. According to this, only 19 percent plan to invest at least ten million euros per year in Germany over the next five years. Four years ago, 34 percent wanted this.
The board members surveyed named an inadequate digital infrastructure as the greatest obstacle to investment. For 9 percent of the respondents it is "the worst in the EU", for a further 24 percent it is "one of the five worst in the EU". Another result of the survey: "Germany is too expensive - in terms of electricity, taxes and labor costs." When it comes to industrial electricity, Germany is now at the bottom of the list in the EU, with costs of 18.18 cents per kilowatt hour.
The CFOs surveyed rated the German tax system as "not competitive". Meanwhile, ailing roads, bridges and rails have also been criticized. Only 59 percent of the group board members surveyed classified the logistical infrastructure among the top five in the EU. The business location receives the best ratings for standard of living (81 percent), public safety (80 percent) and political stability (80 percent). As a research location, 56 percent of the managers surveyed see Germany in the top group in an EU comparison.
There has been significant progress in the availability of qualified specialists: According to the KPMG survey, 38 percent of companies see Germany in the top five in the EU on this point. However, at an average of 36.60 euros per hour, labor costs are well above the EU average of 28.50 euros. Due to the high level of labor productivity, international investors have so far accepted this. For 72 percent of those surveyed, Germany was at the top. "However, investors are concerned about the stagnation in labor productivity in Germany that has been going on since 2018."
Also, only every third respondent counts Germany among the top five locations with an environment that promotes innovation. The attractiveness of the location is dwindling. "A further increase in regulation and bureaucracy as a result of the planned EU environmental legislation" is a threat to Germany as an investment location, warned KPMG.

If employers really want to hire the best worker for a job, they’d follow these 4 basic rules
Solution for hiring managers?
Enhance your GQ (gender intelligence) and create transparency and accountability in employment processes.
Published: November 02nd, 2021
We often hear HR executives and hiring managers claim that they fully support diversity efforts and are committed to hiring the best person for the job regardless of demographic characteristics, as long as they’re the “right fit” for the position. These professionals may be well-intentioned, and we have no doubt that they believe they are advocates for gender equity. But, is this true?
Disrupting gender bias in the moment by calling it out is a clear sign of better gender intelligence. Hiring managers also need
to consider how they can apply their enhanced
.....
gender intelligence to change hiring practices themselves to eliminate or reduce the effect of biases.
Here are four evidence-based recommendations:
1. Be purposeful in writing criteria in job ads: Research shows that women are less likely to apply for jobs that include language such as “aggressive” or “demanding”. Similarly, the use of masculine-gendered words can send the message to women that they don’t “fit” in a job and shouldn’t apply. There are easy solutions for screening this language using free- or commercially available text-editing programs that automatically filter for gendered language.
Additionally, be realistic in the job criteria listed in the job posting. Too often organizations will list the capabilities of the ideal candidate. While this sets a high bar, it also dissuades women from applying — but not men. Instead, consider listing minimum qualifications separately from preferred qualifications to help candidates distinguish essential from nonessential criteria.
2. Set clear, transparent and objective job criteria that can be consistently applied: Subjective or ambiguous job criteria is an invitation for bias. For instance, be alert for evaluations of “potential” or “talent” that lack clear operational definitions and tend to be assessed subjectively and inequitably across gender. If potential for growth or development is important in the job, then provide clear direction as to what experiences are valuable. Finally, be wary of shifting standards or criteria. Too often what becomes most important in hiring can be what “he” has.
3. Diversify and increase the size of applicant pools and short-lists: Often, well-meaning hiring managers will ensure that at least one woman is in the applicant pool or on the short-list. However, research finds that statistically she has 0% chance of being hired if she is the only woman. By adding just one more woman to the list, her odds increase significantly. Similarly, when hiring managers in a male-dominated industry are asked to add more names to their short list of final candidates, the result is more women are added to the list and hired.
4. Diversify and expand recruiting and advertising networks: Because men, especially white men, are more likely to be in positions of power and influence, they are also more likely to have more social capital. This social capital includes informal networks where formal (public) and informal (word of mouth) job leads are shared with other men and less likely to be shared with women. Men proactively contacting female colleagues and women in their networks to let them know that they would be great candidates, and to socialize this information with other women, can help overcome network differences.
Ultimately, the impact of making better hires reflects positively on the hiring manager and can lead to better career outcomes. Just as important, as they enhance their gender intelligence, these hiring managers become better leaders and colleagues. Moreover, hiring managers who successfully implement these actions do more than help their company achieve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) goals. They also make their company more successful and profitable, and enhance their company’s reputation as a highly desirable workplace where diverse and talented people are valued.

The US economy has been affected by supply bottlenecks, which are troubling businesses and consumers. Americans, who held back from spending through the Delta variant surge, have begun buying more products again. In fact, they are spending more than ever before.
Yet, massive order backlogs and shipment buildups at key ports have kept companies from matching supply with consumers' surging demand.
Hyperinflation is when the price of goods and services increase uncontrollably for a sustained period of time. The technical definition of the term, though, sets a high threshold, with price increases of anywhere from 50% per month to 1,000% per year. It typically occurs only under very specific circumstances, such as after a war or when a currency breaks up.
To put it into context, a $2 cup of coffee with a 2% inflation rate would cost $2.04. With hyperinflation of 1,000%, that cup would cost $22. A $3.50 gallon of milk would soar to $38.50. And rent on a $2,000 per month two-bedroom apartment would skyrocket to $22,000.
"Hyperinflation is going to change everything," and "it possible could happen in the U.S. soon, and likewise the world."
Does the Future will be Cryptocurrency ???

Bear Market vs. Bull Market: What's The Difference ?
The Differences in Trading in a Bullish and Bearish Market
Published: October 19th, 2021
A bullish market is one that is a rising market met with increasing investor confidence.
Asset markets will rise and fall continuously during trading. In periods where prices rise over a continuous
period of time, the market can be defined as a bull market or bull run. Although the origins aren't clear,
most people associate these terms with the way a bull attacks; by thrusting its horns upwards. These markets
may last for months or even years,
.....
although the exact dates can't be determined until afterward. Along with a rise in prices comes rising investor
confidence as investors become optimistic or "bullish" about the price increases further.
Unfortunately, investor confidence doesn't last forever - which can lead to a sharp downwards price movement and the beginning of a bear market.

The Worst Crisis in Economic History: The Time is Running Out
The Worst Crisis in Economic History (2021)
Published: October 14th, 2021
The Coronavirus p(l)andemic will turn global economy in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
With every major world event, we mostly wonder if that certain event is going to trigger an economic crisis.
With every economic crisis, we often wonder how long its damages are going to be lasted and to find answers
to these questions, we often go back to history.
.....
No one likes economic crises. Nothing about them is fair even when we expect them to "impose a certain level of equality," they bring nothing but distress, loss, frustration, depression and even political unrest.
Even though economists have been studying all aspects of financial meltdowns for at least two centuries, humanity cannot yet get a grip on ways that can stop these shocks from taking place again and again.

We all rely on money in our everyday lives. Currency is simply a system for trading human time, and most people probably don't question it.

Which Cryptocurrency is expected to grow in the future ?
Crypto Price Prediction: Bitcoin ‘To Overtake’ the Dollar by 2050 and Soar to $80,000 by the end of 2021
Published: September 22nd, 2021
It is considered a smart move if you check the future prediction about the growth of cryptocurrency before investing in it.
Analysts can assess the future of a cryptocurrency by considering its price, news circulating about it, history, movements of Whales, and much more. Don’t worry. You won’t have to go through all the data
.....
to find out which cryptocurrency is likely to grow in future. We have listed at our
Crypto Markets Overview the top cryptocurrencies that are expected to reach new heights.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Well, Bitcoin always leads the cryptocurrency, so is it a good investment? Probably yes. If we consider the volatility of the entire cryptocurrency market, we will see that Bitcoin is the most stable one. The factor of risk is involved everywhere, but Bitcoin has the highest liquidity value. The cryptocurrency aims to become wholly decentralized and enhance its global peer-to-peer environment. Bitcoin has continued to grow since the first day, and even if someone is new to cryptocurrency, they would have heard of Bitcoin.
The popularity and demand for Bitcoin are astonishingly high, and it is expected to remain the same or increase in the future. The growth of Bitcoin is also highly anticipated because many companies and high-end organizations are moving to the idea of accepting Bitcoin as payment. If you also want to buy Bitcoin, then you can head up with such crypto trading platform.
Ethereum (ETH)
The growth of Ethereum has always surprised investors. The decentralized platform provided by Ethereum has paved the way for its success. Ethereum was the first decentralized platform that introduced smart contracts. It offers more security and reliability to their users, which is why it has grabbed the title of second-largest cryptocurrency since 2015. Its current market cap is somewhere around $229 billion, and it is expected to grow more in the future because of the anticipated launch of Ethereum 2.0.
The news speculating about the launch of Ethereum 2.0 has all the investors turning their heads towards Ethereum. It is the most widely discussed crypto world project these days, and many tech giants are building software that can run on the Ethereum network. Microsoft, JP Morgan, and Intel are some of the top tech-savvy that plan to use the Ethereum network.
Polygon
Have you heard of DeFi? It is an abbreviation of decentralized finance, and it is the talk of the town these days. The rapid growth of DeFi is making headlines every day, and Polygon is cashing the price by scaling DeFi. Polygon was launched in 2017, so it is not an old cryptocurrency, and it started gaining popularity amongst investors in no time.
Many billionaires like Mark Cuban invested a huge amount in this cryptocurrency, which further bought it into the limelight. Polygon is Ethereum’s side chain, and it harnesses the best of its abilities by boosting Ethereum’s chain. However, Ethereum’s current version has high gas fees, and it shows its current struggle as it is working its way to launch the new version.
Stellar Lumens (XLM)
If you want to invest in a cryptocurrency that stands out from its peers, then you can look forward to Stellar Lumens. Stellar Lumens aims to become such a cryptocurrency that you can instantly use it for payments anytime and anywhere. It wants to re-innovate how payments are made, but it also wants to keep the cost as low as possible. This inexpensive payment method attracts users greatly, and when it successfully achieves its goal, you do not wish to miss the Bull Run. The current market cap for Stellar Lumens is $5, and it is the most affordable cryptocurrency at present.
Cardano (ADA)
The last cryptocurrency that is expected to grow in the future is Cardano. It is the biggest competitor to Ethereum because Cardano has incorporated a proof-of-stake algorithm. Ethereum has been trying to incorporate this algorithm for a while now. Although Cardano has not yet released smart contracts, it has a faster and inexpensive network than Ethereum. Another most significant factor that contributes to the growth of Cardano is its stability. Keeping aside the market volatility, Cardano stabilizes fast.
Conclusion
The growth of cryptocurrency is something that all investors look up to. If you are planning to invest in a cryptocurrency shortly, then keep the cryptocurrencies mentioned above in your mind.
But, you should keep an eye on Binance (BNB), Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), Terra (LUNA) and Avalanche (AVAX) as well.

How Life Will Look Like After Covid ?
Life After Coronavirus: What Does The Future Look Like For Small Businesses ?
Published: September 20th, 2021
Businesses of all shapes and sizes have found themselves in an unprecedented situation thanks to the global Coronavirus outbreak.
This potentially deadly (!?) virus has devastated every industry, causing serious issues for every business owner. Some companies have
been able to adapt to the situation, but many have been forced to halt their operations temporarily.
.....
While social distancing measures look set to remain in place for some time, the business market will soon begin reopening over the coming weeks and months. With this in mind, we’ve outlined what the future could look like for small businesses and how you can adapt to the ‘new normal’.
An Emphasis On Cleanliness And Hygiene Will Be Essential
The Coronavirus pandemic has forced the entire business market to focus on cleanliness and show customers that they are committed to keeping them safe. For small businesses, it can be hard to dedicate staff, time and resources to cleaning your establishment on a regular basis, so consider outsourcing or working with a professional cleaning company. As well as offering peace of mind for yourself and demonstrating your commitment to your customers, many such companies are now working on services specific to the level of hygene the virus demands.
Hiring New Staff Will Be A Challenge For The Foreseeable Future
The Coronavirus pandemic has led to high unemployment, but issues such as a lack of childcare, illness or access to high-speed internet will mean that it will be hard to hire new team members. Fear will also be a factor, as many newly-unemployed individuals might be wary of working in an unknown environment before a working vaccine or medication is found for the Coronavirus. If you’re trying to hire skilled team members, you will find it even harder to find the employees you need. As such, you need to make sure that you support your existing team during this challenging time, and work hard to retain them so that you don’t have to hire too many additional staff. If you do need to find new staff, be flexible and conduct interview remotely where possible, so that you can quickly and efficiently find extra staff to drive your business forward.
At The End Of The Day, Customers Won’t Forget In A Hurry
Despite the extreme toll that the EU’s or US's lockdowns are having on everything from the economy to the nation’s mental health, research shows that the public still supports the measures. It is clear that anxiety is high, and will remain this way for some time. Consumers will be wary of travelling to establishments to browse products and receive services, so you need to try to adapt your offering as much as possible.
For businesses where offering remote support is simply impossible, you need to show customers, through advertising, social media updates and your procedures, that you are committed to keeping them safe. Adjust your promotional and marketing strategies accordingly, so that you can show customers that your business remains open and able to provide them with the service and support they expect.

US Financial Advisers up Crypto Recommendations as Interest Rises
Crypto News about BTC, ETH, BNB .....
Published: July 31st, 2021
US-based financial advisers are increasingly recommending investments in cryptocurrencies to their clients, and less exposure to legacy finance investment products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and individual stocks, according to a recent survey.
This approach is in line with the rising interest demonstrated by their customer base, the report by the US-based Financial Planning Association (FPA) and the Journal of Financial Planning said.
.....
The report comprises a survey that was fielded in March 2021 (or before the strong market correction in April and May), and prepared based on the 529 online responses collected from financial advisers who offer clients investment advice and/or implement investment recommendations.
The survey indicated that, while US financial advisers remain cautious on digital assets, "it seems they may be shifting to embracing them due to a rising client demand."
Cryptocurrencies were first added to the survey in 2018, said the report, when 1.4% of the then surveyed 223 advisers said they were currently using or recommending crypto with clients,” according to the association.
While in 2019 and 2020 that percentage dropped to below 1%, it then increased to 14% of the 529 surveyed advisers indicating that they are using or recommending cryptocurrencies in 2021.
The number may increase as following:
“More than a quarter (26%) of advisers indicated in the 2021 survey that they plan to increase their use/recommendation of cryptocurrencies over the next 12 months," said the report. This is up from 0% indicated in 2020.
It further found that 49% of advisers indicated that, in the last six months, clients have asked them about investing in cryptocurrencies. This is up from 17% in 2020.
In contrast with cryptocurrencies, legacy finance investment products, such as ETFs, saw a lower rate of recommendations this year. Some 64% of financial advisors said they suggest investing in ETFs to their clients this year, down from 85% in 2020.
Cash and equivalents, as well as individual stocks, are also less popular in 2021, down from 75% to 57%, and 51% to 44%, respectively.
Among the vehicles currently used/recommended to clients, only three saw a rise in the percentages since last year: cryptocurrencies are leading by far, followed by precious metals (5% to 9%) and private equity funds (9% to 12%).
Further findings include that:
1.8% in the 2018 survey said cryptocurrencies were a viable investment option that has a place in a portfolio, compared to 28% of respondents in 2021;
18% in 2018 said it was a fad that is best avoided, compared to 6% this year 2021;
24% in 2018 said it was "a gamble," while 28% said the same this year;
48% read the occasional news stories on cryptocurrencies and are somewhat comfortable conversing about it, 33% actively educate themselves on the topic and are comfortable conversing about it, and 4% said they don’t know anything about cryptos and don’t talk about them with their clients.

Eurozone inflation leads to 30% drop in Euro value in 2021
Impact of inflation on Euro's purchasing value in 2021
Published: July 20th, 2021
The buying power of one Euro (1€) has depreciated by a whopping 30% between 2000 and 2020 from 1€ to 0.7€, according to data researched by Trading Platforms UK. This means that the same one Euro can't pay for a similar amount of goods or services like in 2000.
The Eurozone has faced a host of economic challenges over the past two decades, and the region's main currency, the Euro, is bearing the impact on its value.
.....
The depreciating Euro is a combination of several factors, but inflation has been the primary catalyst. The European Union (E.U.) block has seen rising inflation leading to an increase in prices of goods and services over time.
The Euro has also lost the purchasing power due to the (European Central Bank) bank's policy during the major economic crisis. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and the coronavirus pandemic, the bank lined several additional stimulus packages to tackle the crisis, as determined by finance experts. In this case, interest rates remained high, with most investors turning to save haven currencies like the U.S. dollar or cryptocurrencies. The purchasing power has further deteriorated over the pandemic's second wave and will continue depreciate over the third wave.
Digital assets like cryptocurrencies that have shown resilience during the last economic crisis are now viewed as a possible safe haven. Even the ECB (European Central Bank) is considering adopting a digital Euro. This is the time to move into cryptocurrencies.

No Banks, No Public Facilities, No Food, and Rampaging Gangs of Desperate People

Will a terrible economic collapse in the western world (which it almost certainly will) result in a complete and thorough collapse of society? Will we see historic levels of crime, bloodshed, rioting, and social instability in the EU and America? Before you dismiss such ideas as the work of a few irrational bloggers with too much free time on their hands, consider what one of the world’s largest credit rating firms has to say. According to a Moody’s analysis on sovereign debt,
.....
the world’s five largest AAA-rated countries (including the EU and America) are all at risk of rising debt costs and will be forced to enact austerity policies that would result in higher debt costs.
This is a difficult subject because individuals either refuse to believe it or are unable of comprehending what is being said due to a lack of understanding. When you realize that western governments can only exist on debt/credit, not physical currencies, you realize that the EU and America are nothing more than a massive Ponzi scheme predicated solely on our ability to borrow money. The global economy is on the verge of collapsing. This is how all great empires founded on fiat currencies end.

Crypto-Friendly America to Base Your Business in 2021
Take Time Choosing Where to Base Your Business in 2021
Published: July 2nd, 2021
As cryptocurrencies become more popular around the world, a growing number of people are using and investing in popular currencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Some countries are now starting to put more infrastructure in place to join the crypto revolution, piquing the interest of their residents.
Choosing the best country to set up a business is vital in this digital age, and especially so for crypto companies.
.....
As governments around the world continue to learn more about cryptocurrencies and elect to either crack down on them or allow them to flourish, some jurisdictions emerge as being better than others for launching a crypto startup.
Many governments are still deciding what to do with cryptocurrency. While some are friendly towards it and see the benefit of crypto companies basing themselves in their jurisdiction, a number are openly hostile. If you're planning to launch a crypto-related business, it makes sense to study the regulatory framework and government policy in a number of jurisdictions before reaching a decision.
Do you want to set up a business in a country that has historically had low taxation? If the country you are considering is receptive to crypto, and there are no signs of impending tighter regulation, will you still be able to attract investors? Does it have a vibrant ecosystem of Fintech companies that will support your business? These are all matters that should be considered before setting up shop. A crypto-friendly country should have all those attributes and are worthy of consideration before you settle on your HQ.

The Future of Cryptocurrency will transform the Future Business in 2021
Published: June 11th, 2021
Over the last six months, worldwide, we have seen significant developments and achievements in the cryptocurrency market. However, one major achievement has been the growth of cryptocurrency and its widespread adoption. Investors, financial institutions, organizations, etc. are making new amendments with respect to cryptocurrency holdings and encouraging crypto transactions. Having said, what will be the future of cryptocurrency?
.....
Mayor investment banks like Goldman Sachs is now making Bitcoin funds available to some high-end clients, Paypal has allowed users to leverage cryptocurrency holdings to pay its online merchants internationally, etc. This clearly indicates that cryptocurrency will surely impact business operations in the future.
Nonetheless, cryptocurrency has gained a lot of attention from regulatory bodies. However, the administrative field is still trying to speed up with regard to major players in the virtual currency field. Right now, there have been enforcement activities and an updated focus around the regulation of crypto activities and users.
With regards to the future of cryptocurrency, we will definitely see more growth and adoption. Yet, even when China's ban on a cryptocurrency exchange, it is quite uncertain how things might turn out for cryptocurrency trading in the future. A ban from a strong and powerful nation is something we might should think about. Are there certain aspects of cryptocurrency that we don't know? Or the future of the crypto market is completely dependent upon its volatility?
Right now, it's too early to speculate or predict the future of cryptocurrency. We are yet to explore more about this growing field. Nonetheless, it is absolutely a great challenge for the whole financial and banking industry as well as for investors.

Are You fooled by Facebook ?
Beware of been fooled by Facebook !
Published: October 28th, 2020
Why do you find more and more people on the Internet who call Facebook a Fakebook or even Fraudbook, because they feel of having been treated unfairly? Yes, we haven't made good experiences either with Facebook,
although we were never able to publish a posting since our FB account was blocked or disabled right after we had created a page for the Association (ATAF).
Facebook always said you can't use your account anymore because we didn't follow their Community Standards. All attempts to clarify this with Facebook remained unanswered or were ignored.
We have tried to set up a Facebook account about three times in the last two years and each time the same was happened and the Association (ATAF) was blocked again.
.....
All this cannot happen just by coincidence and very obvious the Facebook censorship certainly did not like our America-friendly article,
because we really cannot find any other reason for this decision. Upon these circumstances we did an extensive research on the Internet and found,
there are a lot of people who have the same fate with Facebook and then we have decided to use other messenger services.
The following article by Selwyn Duke confirms actually the practices of Facebook and the direction in which Facebook or Fakebook manipulates.
In the wake of reports that Facebook censors conservative voices, a well known media figure met with company chairman Mark Zuckerberg and emerged from the meeting, as he put it, "convinced that Facebook is behaving appropriately and trying to do the right thing." But nothing to see here, move along. Unfortunately, this is nonsense!
Very obvious the Facebook censorship in the news isn't about artificial intelligence but human intelligence, and its biases. In fact, the focus on technology could be an effort at Machiavellian misdirection:
"Watch what the machine is doing, watch the machine, so you don't see the man behind the curtain."
I'll get right to the point. Facebook, further named as "Fraudbook," employs a group of young journalists, known as "news curators," who are empowered to manage the algorithmic results and "refine" what qualifies for the site's "Trending Topics" section. As company vice president of search Tom Stocky put it, the curators "audit topics surfaced algorithmically: reviewers are required to accept topics that reflect real world events, and are instructed to disregard junk or duplicate topics, hoaxes, or subjects with insufficient sources."

Say Goodbye to Globalization as the World has been disordered in 2020
Say Goodbye to Globalization as the World has been disordered in 2020
Published: October 02nd, 2020
The last four-decade era of globalization may be coming to an end and the world would be
heading into an "Age of Disorder", which might will reshape both economies and politics, according to economic research analysts.
One of the key characteristics of the new era will be the reversal of unfettered globalization, as a team of analysts predicted. While they believe "the best combined asset price growth of any era in history,
.....
with equity and bond returns very strong across the board" since 1980, the "Age of Disorder" is likely to break this trend.
The deteriorating of U.S.-China relations is another theme (out of eight) that will define the next distinct era of modern times, "which is hastened, but not caused by, the pandemic." The analysts note that the Chinese economy will be closing the gap with the U.S. and could finally outperform it by the end of the decade.
"A clash of cultures and interests therefore beckons, especially as China grows closer to being the largest economy in the world," the report says.
Fortunately, this economic standoff is unlikely to trigger a real military conflict between the two states, as usually happens when a rising power tries to challenge the ruling one. Economic war - with tariffs, sanctions, and attacks in the technology sphere - will go on instead, the analysts believe. No matter who wins the 2020 presidential election in the U.S., the rift between the two superpowers will grow.

America is very, very bullish on the Economic Recovery in 2020/21
Published: July 10th, 2020
Business leaders predict the United States will swiftly dig itself out of the deep economic impact by the Coronavirus pandemic.
About 70% of US executives surveyed are expecting the American economy will recover from the current recession within one year, according to a survey of some 400 economic decision makers.
.....
Approximately 80% of those CEOs, founders and other high-level executives are very confident in the US economy despite the pandemic impact.
The findings paint a surprisingly bullish view from those executives given the impact in the US economy and even warnings from some health experts of a supposed second wave of Coronavirus infections. If that optimism translates to fewer layoffs and more investment, it could help limit the economic damage during the current crisis.
"They see a successful path through the crisis," and "You can argue that sense of fighting spirit is what made the economy great."

The growing bureaucracy inhibits economic growth and the start-up behavior of companies. Experience from other countries have shown that less bureaucracy is possible.
Bureaucracy actually affects the economy like a badly running engine with sand in its gears.
Especially the E.U. suffers from regulations and higher bureaucratic burdens more than any other western countries. That is the result of a bureaucracy check based on 16 indicators observed by international organizations.
The USA and Canada are among the first three ranks of 51 checked countries, while Germany as the best E.U. country, ranks only in the middle with rank 25.
The question arises whether higher bureaucratic burdens are really economically relevant and have demonstrable negative consequences. The answer is clearly YES.
Bureaucracy inhibits economic growth, in particular due to higher expenditure for regulations and regulations as well as increasing costs like compliance costs of business start-ups. The effects are very obvious and considerable.
These unambiguous empirical studies alone make it clear how important strategies are for reducing bureaucracy and for better regulation.
