He's in the pessimistic camp, and I'm right there with him. The powers that shouldn't be are not going to walk quietly into the night. They will burn the house down and kill everyone in it before losing their power.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going is the old saying. I add, "The smart left long ago" to it though. I am not holding out hope for a peaceful resolution to the current economic situation. There will be war. My hope is that it will not be nuclear, but... it probably will be. If that happens though, we won't care about our PM's or crypto.
