Protecting myself from a dollar crash
-
May I suggest $TRUMP ?
-
If the future is anything like the past, the dollar's likely to be a lot more secure than the Euro. Just saying.
-
I have to imagine in 10-15 years the whole "we pay 1-2 trillion dollars per year on nothing but the interest payment on debt" will eventually cause some sort of massive ripple effect. I'm not smart enough to know what that looks like, maybe AI can tell me in a few years. I'd imagine Trump will pump up the market numbers for a few years, but once it's get frothy again, might be wise to switch into low risk ETFs until after whatever crash happens....

It's worth noting that a number of European countries have higher per-capita debt than the US. Ireland's is almost 10 times as much - that's about a gazillion percent using Trump-math.

I was only joking

Yeah but doesn't the world use the US dollar as THE reliable and infallible stable currency, whereas whatever currency Ireland uses, pints o'guinness or something, Asia markets couldn't care less about?

Well it's the Euro, so it's not exactly a minor currency.
-
There is a effort to make crypto replace it. Less middlemen involved in money transfers. Stable coin they call it?

Dollar was 97 cents to 1 euro last January, and it dropped down to 85 cents in the following months and now holds at 87 cents
-
1 $TRUMP is worth 5.91 Euros…
