I get this feeling that Stock and Coin Investors stopped minding about the world. Economics flawed? Outlook needs a total revamp? There's a real danger? Whatever. We make money with up only. Higher soon. Buy the dip.

for sure, I'd be 100x more terrified if watched the news 😅 

There was always some bad news & conflict reporting like Israel-Gaza, wars in Iraq, Vietnam, etc. - but whatever I saw felt far away. And they left out the amazing progress that was made and lifted many people out of poverty into abundant lives.

My point is the following:

From early 2000s till 2020ish there was definitely growing globalisation and interconnectivity among the biggest economies like Russia, China, Europe and the US. And after the iraq war and 08/09 financial crisis there was 10-15 years of up only, risk on, incl. absurd activism & lifestyles all over the world.

But this unique phenomenon of 0 interest rates, growing economies, collabs is very much ending now. And I have serious doubts about the smartness of picking trade fights with close allies (US vs EU, Canada etc.) when (super)powers are extended/struggling (EU, (US not yet maybe)), actively pushing towards other markets (Russia > Ukraine; China/US doing it financially..)

There’s a disconnect between what’s happening in the world and there being a future 

News etc all wants the population to think that the world is ending tomorrow so you never save, and pay rent forever ♾️ 

If social media/media outlets existed during WW1/2 etc I’m sure peoples brains would’ve exploded - we are currently in the best time in history in terms of peace etc
