I probably read 15 finance letters a week. Granted, there's certainly some self-selection in there. But despite my self-selection, 100% of them are anti-cryptocurrency (dismissively so). And self-selection or not, 90% of them are in "batten down the hatches" mode. The one or two that aren't are in "we probably have another 12-18 months" mode. This is the thing that bugs the shit out of me about Nassim Taleb. "Nobody predicted" the crash of 2008. No, fucker, every real estate blog was howling to the moon about it. "Nobody predicted" the rise of Hitler. Except fucking Churchill and Wilson. Shit's gonna go hyper-pearshaped and some fuck will be all "nobody predicted."
