1 - because he doesn't put all his "eggs" in the one basket. He can see opportunities to make some money quickly and so he does
2 - Devolution is actually a real thing. If things regress (i.e. devolve) then that's absolute proof that things were bad and unworkable. Evolution only occurs when the change is highly efficient, beneficial and well proven
Will people go back to trading in gold and silver? Absolutely. Only fools and morons think otherwise. There is nothing else on this planet that is as valuable as gold and silver can't be artificially made and they aren't highly abundant and thus they are valuable. Everyone knows what they're worth and everyone knows that over thousands of years, whilst currencies have come and gone, gold and silver have remained a constant. Look at Venezuela, Cuba, etc. everything has three prices - Bolivars / Gold / Silver. They literally will shave gold and silver to get the correct amount to buy the things they need and want because the money is so worthless.
If you back a currency by gold or silver you can't just add to it. The problem was when the USA left the gold standard so they could "print more money". When you have a currency backed by bullion, the only way to adjust the amount in circulation is to reprice the bullion, you can't just "print more money".
If you think Bitcoin is the solution, tell me, what's going to happen when the internet or power are gone? How will you use bitcoin? You can't as it won't function. At least with gold and silver you can carry pieces, shavings, etc. of it and trade it for goods and services. Bullion is real money and doesn't need anything else in order to work.
If you think Bitcoin can't be added to, double-spent or otherwise manipulated, unfortunately you're misled. It most definitely can, all you need to do is to control 51% of the mining (this is easy for a govt as they can force their citizens to a different MainNet) - then you can manipulate the blockchain however you like as you have enough controlled consensus to approve the otherwise illegal changes.
Bitcoin and all crypto can't be married to bullion - all crypto is tied to energy due to the need for crypto mining. In the long run, the time proven solution (bullion) will win out and society will start afresh.
Personally I would be ensuring I have some bullion safely locked away and I would be slowly building up sufficient supplies of shelf-stable foods and products/tools that I know I'll need and that will last before things get worse.

Fact: If Russia isn't stopped in Ukraine then the entire "west" will be destroyed by Russia. Everyone needs to stop thinking that Russia are powerful - they're not, they're actually weak as weak; the proof being how long the so-called "three day take-over" has gone.
Wake up and quit believing the bullshit lies that Russia keep spouting, they're all bullshit.
Let's go through Russia's lies:
* Nazis in Ukraine - guess what, there's Nazis in every country, especially Russia which is a country full of Nazis (they just don't use that term)
* Everyone threatening and wanting to invade Russia - Literal bullshit. Not a single country other than China has any desire to invade Russia. Russia is a giant wasteland with zero accessible resources. Remember the whole "mineral wealth in Russia will dominate the world" bullshit. That went silent when they realised that accessing any mineral wealth in Russia isn't financially viable as its below a bluestone reef 1km thick.
* Poland and the Baltics are preparing to invade Russia - utter bullshit. These countries are preparing for an invasion by Russia as they aren't part of Russia (and never will be) and refuse to be under the thumb of Russia ever again
Simply put all Russia does is lie and brainwash its people with lies. Russian people literally think that the whole world are Nazis, that the whole world is wanting to invade and destroy Russia, that everyone outside of Russia is torturing animals for fun, that only Russia can save the world and that its good for Russians to go abroad and indiscriminately kill non-Russians. This is the reality of Russia and was made public when people were being interviewed by the media as to why they want to sign up and fight against Ukraine. What this tells any sane person is that Russia needs to be contained within its borders and its citizens banned from being anywhere outside of Russia.
Then there's the fact that Putin has said that he wants to rebuild the Tsarist Empire - this requires the take-over of Europe, the Baltics and the Balkans. He's also declared that he's getting ready to take back Alaska as he's decided that the legal sale of Alaska to the USA is now magically "invalid". Anyone who thinks its only about Ukraine is a moron - just like Hitler, it's always "just one more country" until he's invaded and taken over everything.
Note that he's already invaded Georgia, Ukraine (Crimea and Eastern Ukraine), Belarus (Putin is really in charge of Belarus), French Africa (the Wagner coups is 100% Putin's fault) and the current Israel-gaza war (100% orchestrated by Russia to spread "western" forces thin).
The single biggest threat to Russia is Putin. If Putin quit indoctrinating the Russian people with lies and to hate anyone who isn't Russian, and if Russia simply stayed within its own borders then Russia would have zero issues.

@Igoriann The reason people don't want to get qualified is usually because they're in a country such as Australia where it takes forever to get qualified (TAFE & mandatory apprenticeship) for things that could be solely taught at TAFE in practical hands on classes (i.e. plumbing and gas fitting, electrical work (electrician)).
3-6yrs (course + apprenticeship as both are mandatory) to get qualified as a plumber (assuming you can land the apprenticeship - a requirement to even enroll in the course) VS 4yrs getting a degree and getting a job in another country where you get paid well.
Also, the more bureaucracy the govt creates, the more people leave as they can't be bothered with jumping through more hoops and paperwork. The primary cause of this is govt's trying to keep everyone in education and to eliminate every single risk / injury down to paper-cuts.
A lot of people are also being kept out of industries because they have a relative already in that industry. In Australia, if you have a relative already working in any medical field, you're automatically prohibited from doing the exam required to enter medical courses so that "the same families don't keep taking all the places and not letting other people have a go". So you get this situation where those other people don't want to do medicine and because the govt prohibit anyone with relatives in medicine from getting qualified, there happen to be huge shortages and thus the govt brings in "skilled migrant workers" because "there's no one in Australia who wants to work".
People are sick of this BS, no matter what industry they're in.
Then there's people such as myself who got qualified in their industry (engineering), only to have the govt regulate us out of work by having excessive requirements in order to register under the newly introduced mandatory registration, requirements that make zero sense for the industry, so, I went overseas where my qualifications were happily accepted without any of the BS.
As for people who want to sit at home and make money - its easy. Plenty of people get paid to do work from home as freelancers, writers, programmers, web designers, etc. A lot have got into financial trading (day trading, etc.).
"When the rules of the game keep changing every time you come close to winning, the only way to win, is to not play the game!"
This quote is exactly what people are doing, they're pivoting, going overseas to where they're treated best and / or simply not playing the unwinnable game.

Fixing (i.e. paying) the debt is easy. If the "western" world quit being bloody welfare states, they'd be able to pay down the debt which would dramatically shrink the interest payments. But no, instead of having pain now whilst the debt is relatively low (when compared to 2050 estimates), they'd rather keep delaying, increasing the debt, debasing the dollar and gearing up for the collapse to end all collapses. If they dealt with it now and had pain, it'd be bad but survivable. By delaying it, they're all but guaranteeing their absolute destruction / collapse from which no one will survive. If they hope that this will drive people to CBDC as it might look "attractive", then they're fooling themselves as many are waking up to the truth of what a CBDC is and why they're dangerous.
Basically, the west is destroying itself and will cease to exist when it all comes crashing down.
It is very likely that the Euro will take over as the global reserve currency as its used by at least 28 countries who collectively contain the richest people in the world. Whilst the 3rd world thinks its gonna do well with BRICS, they're delusional.
Ironically, every country that joins BRICS is immediately cut off from trade with the west (some exceptions apply such as China because they're still deemed essential at the moment) as they're trading with a sanctioned country (Russia) which thanks to ITAR prohibits trade and assistance to any country that trades with a sanctioned country. Its actually quite surprising how many daily used items are actually subject to ITAR.
Their assumptions are based on "the west, especially Europe needs us". Providing that Central and Eastern Europe continue to do things themselves (i.e. manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, farming, mining, etc.) then there is no need for the 3rd world as far as trade is concerned. This is good for the Euro because it means that if the 3rd world want aid, food, products and services, they'll need to obtain them from Europe if they can't obtain it from themselves. This means that they'll have to pay on the terms of Europe - i.e. Euros. Their only other option would be to pay in bullion - this is the opposite flow that BRICS want; they expect the world to pay them in bullion, not for them to pay the rest of the world.
Ever since the '2020 thing', a lot of manufacturing has moved back to Central and Eastern Europe, the war in Ukraine has only helped accelerate this process due to sanctions and trade / export bans.

@NeilMcCoyWard Welcome to Communism and its core tenant - POLITBURO and "wrong think & wrong speak". They NEED to control the narrative just like during the plandemic because they know that their plans will only work if the masses are uninformed of facts and only if the masses are unable to communicate with each other. This control of speech is core to indoctrinating and brainwashing people.
They always go after the easy targets first - social media posts and sharing information because these people a experts at disseminating information and communicating - skills that could be used against the regime one day (hence why they must be stamped out). Then they go after ANY & ALL political opposition - there's only room for one party - hence the "right are bad, only the left are good and able to save the world", etc. Lastly, they remove the "family" - your kids belong to the State and you have zero rights to be a parent - its a 'privilege' the State chooses to bestow upon only the "best" citizens.
The entire time this happens, you lose everything - your job, your house and all you money - then you have no choice but to comply because the only one who can keep you alive is the State. That's communism and what being behind the Iron Curtain was.
Honestly, as someone who agrees with you on a lot of things, who's family faced persecution by both the Nazis & the Soviets, I would highly recommend that you do a CBI program (if you haven't already) so that should worst come to worst, you can flee to a safe place where the tyranny isn't happening. Things will only get worse and the more the masses try to resist, the more tyrannical and extreme the regime will become as the time to stop the tyranny was at least a decade ago, but most definitely pre-2020!

It has zero value - its 100% dependent on energy (power) and the centrally controlled internet, it requires insane amounts of data to be recorded forever in order to function and is easily controlled by controlling the mining. Whilst privacy coins are untraceable they have the same problems as normal crypto.
If you think blockchain is the solution and will last, look what the govts have done to privacy coins and crypto - delisted from exchanges, illegal to possess/have/own/use, on-ramping and off-ramping to all exchanges has been banned by most western banks along with PayPal and most credit cards, mandatory govt id registration of wallets, use of hardware wallets banned (on-chain crypto only), just to mention a few things the west has done.
How long until the govts force ISP's to block all crypto at the protocol level? How long until govts forcibly shut down any exchange that supports crypto? How long until govts make the possession, use or acceptance of crypto illegal? How long until govts do what Australia did and tax crypto so heavily that its literally not worth having?
I have a bad feeling that when WEB4 launches (the internet that is 100% govt ID regulated and controlled), it won't support any unauthorised protocols or transmissions and thus won't support crypto. The result would be all the crypto servers being shut down!
I've said for ages that whilst the "how blockchain works" is good to know, blockchain as we currently know it has too many issues resulting in it being worthless as the problems far outweigh the solutions. The only way for blockchain to have value and for crypto to thrive is to decouple it all from the internet, for blockchains to be lightweight and self-pruning and to be designed solely around anonymity.

This ends once Russia is flattened and put in its place or when they surrender and completely return home with their tail between their legs. You can't de-escalate without sacrificing the lives of every Ukrainian and without losing Ukraine - if the latter happens, all of Europe will be bulldozed by Russia and its allies because this has never been about Ukraine, its about expansionism and rebuilding the Tsarist Empire; Russia's allies will get involved the moment Russia defeats Ukraine, with them involved there is no hope.
The single biggest threat at the moment are the moronic peace-nicks who think that you can be rational with the nutcase that is Putin/Russia. Learn about the Slavic world and the history of the Baltics, Poland and Hungary. Do NOT let this become another Vietnam where the media and peace-nicks caused the deaths of countless millions of people who were left to be slaughtered by the communists - that blood is on all the peace-nicks, look at how shit Vietnam has been as a communist shit hole - its basically a failed state with basically no economy.
The reality, as horrible as it is, is that Russia are always looking for trouble and would have invaded regardless of the excuse/reason given. In the last 600yrs Russia have never wanted peace, they've only wanted war. Countries such as Poland and the Baltics have tried to mind their own business for centuries only to have Russia always start a war and try to take over simply because these countries exist. Look at the interwar period - what happened the moment WW1 ended? The Russian Bolsheviks went on the war path and tried to obliterate Ukraine, Poland and Europe simply for existing. Thankfully they were brutally defeated by Poland in the Polish border region. As for more recent examples, Russia purposely paid their own citizens to move into two parts of Georgia to cause trouble and then claim they're being oppressed to justify invading. The same happened in Crimea. The same happened at the beginning of this current Russian war against Ukraine.
What you fail to understand is that Russia have never wanted peace, they only want war and that they only understand superior violence/force. Putin has said many times that he wishes to reclaim all the land that formed both the Soviet Union and the Tsarist Empire and yeah, he's insane enough to try.
Not a single country has had any interest in invading Russia or taking anything Russia has. The reality is that Russia was being ignored by the rest of the world, left out of trade, huge reductions in gas sales as the west moves away from gas and Russia couldn't stand being ignored.
The solution for them was to start a war, to rape, torture and massacre innocent civilians (none of which you do if you're trying to rescue or maintain peace). Thankfully though the sanctions on Russia are working, most businesses have abandoned Russia, all software companies that could remotely disable their software did just that. Russian's can't bank anywhere outside of Russia and are prohibited from doing business with any "western" country.
This is why Russia is cracking the shits and making threats that they simply can't back up. 50 years of corruption, horrible storage conditions and huge lack of quality of training has resulted in Russia being a joke militarily the moment they're up against modern western equipment. The best thing that can happen now is for the west to defeat Russia and end this war now before Russia get their allies fully involved.

Sorry but you're totally wrong about sailing - there's no market, prices are tanking. Hate to break it to you but unless you're commercially qualified and the vessel is commercially licenced, you can't legally sail internationally. To hold and maintain a commercial qualification and licence you need to be working for someone in the maritime industry (i.e. not self employed) and have to do annual courses and assessments to remain qualified and to renew the licence.
The stupid ICC (International Certificate of Competence) that the EU, UN and most countries demand isn't possible to get if you have the 'wrong' nationality, if you're a national of a 'Res. 40' country you need that countries licence but can only get it if living there full time, and now the EU is bringing in a new 'EU-wide' licence that the UN has said will be required globally to sail internationally as a private individual. All this BS because they won't accept licences from non-EU countries unless they're commercial licences.
Actual experience, skill and government issued non-commercial licences mean nothing, its all bureaucracy, money and nationality that matter. Sadly the reason they're doing this is to stop people being able to travel internationally as they want you stuck in the country you're already in.
I've been trying to get around the whole ICC thing myself (so I can live aboard and sail internationally) but can't and I can't get an ICC due to nationality, even though I have actually learned to sail, have passed multiple assessments beyond whats needed for the ICC. I hold multiple countries marine licences (non-commercial). I have been told that the IPC is only accepted if the person is from the USA, and that the NauticEd SLC isn't accepted if you're an EU national (must have an EU licence).

Oceania - living up to the 1984 in more ways than just this. Come to AU & NZ - both are basically communist shitholes and the Australian Government just passed laws that supposedly stop hate (2024 Nazi Militaria & Symbols Ban) but in reality force the descendants of Holocaust survivors to destroy their old family documents, letters, postcards, photos, birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, ID's, etc. all because these documents were stamped by the Nazis in the 1930's through 1945 with stamps that contain the "bad symbols" or because the document is a copy or official statement of what happened to their relative and thus contains "bad symbols".
The reason such documents have to be destroyed is because whilst possession is still 100% legal, the documents can never leave the property they're on, they can never be shown to relatives, friends or even consulates, nor can they be scanned and provided to relatives, genealogists or consulates as that would violate the "transport, supply and transmission" ban purely because such things contain the "bad symbols". So say you want to move house, move overseas or when you die (the law doesn't permit inheritance), anyone would be violating the law if they kept or inherited the documents, also if they moved them off the property. This means that the 6 month "estate" period would be all they have to destroy said documents, that is, to destroy history and official legal documents, simply because they were stamped with "bad symbols". Oh, if you think that you'll just sneak such documents out of the country, they've got that covered - if you "conceal" hate material (anything containing the "bad symbols") you'll get an even longer jail sentence (concealment, transport, transport over a national border, etc.).
This same law also makes it an offence to share, disseminate, distribute, give, trade, make available for access or to access ANY documents in ANY format that contain the "bad symbols". Want to research what happened to that relative who was sent to a concentration camp - sorry, Australia just outlawed that as should you access ANY document that contains the bad symbols when searching the Yad Vashem database or Arolsen Archive or any online accessible Holocaust document database, you'll be violating the new laws.
What this effectively says is the Australian Government want to finish the work the Nazis started under Hitler - to erase anyone that the Nazis considered to be "lesser", by means of forcing people to destroy their own family history simply because they have old family documents because their relatives (grandparents, etc.) survived the Holocaust.
The claims by those that support the laws (sadly many secular Jews) and all the far left is that "no one should possess or profit from hate", completely ignoring that many things contain the "bad symbols" but aren't hate material.
Oh, the best part - these laws are part of Australia's counter terror laws so any breach results in gigantic jail sentences and being declared a terrorist.
The scariest part is this law applies globally, to:
* Australian Citizens
* Permanent Residents
* ALL ALIENS & FOREIGNERS (including foreigners who've never been to Australia).
This means anyone anywhere in the world, even if they're not breaking the laws where they are, will be able to be extradited and prosecuted under these Australian laws.
