I follow your point, though knowing more about them I actually incline for a different conclusion. There is a lot of slack in the corporate economy which became more transparent under wfh.

Side question (non crypto related), does paying for it automatically makes the advisor legally liable for the advice in most 'advanced' jurisdictions?

Actually 20-30hrs/week might be an overshoot. I'm surprised to see that for a lot of my friends teleworking means about 1h of work per day and an occasional meeting.

I think eventually it will be nation states that bring the endgame, on national security grounds, through regulation. Looking mostly at the US here. It is highly unlikely the government will sit by and watch trillions of US capital flowing

I share the same hunch. I believe that in the very long run (many decades) the growing debt cripples the the government, hurting its productivity along with trust on its proper functioning. (Japan, Italy are around here) Growing debt is not

The 'resource curse' might have the causality wrong though in many circumstances. Maybe those countries would find themselves in a similarly bad state (or worse) without those resources. Maybe their bad state is due to historical

It doesn't help your point since the US State Dept would likely not host content that's in contradiction with the administration. I'm not saying it's staged of course, but there are chances a convenient opinion was prese

I think it's quite early to say if it weathered the storm, there might be long-term consequences. Also not sure what to say about the experts calling a rally, specially when those 'experts' are politicians.

Still, working remotely hasn't been around for decades, is it all so straightforward? From an EU perspective I can assure you it's a deep mess. People have a different, long-term relationship with the tax authorities because &#x27

This is spot on. For all the praise of Belgian welfare I believe there is a 'dark' side to it. It is not doing well in motivating people to perform and there is a lot of systemic slack and abuse, like people claiming they're

Indeed, looking at the bigger picture I can't help seeing the absurdity of it. For all the praising of Tesla cars, which might very well be founded, it's just a freaking car in a market where demand fell off a cliff.

I'm also a bit suspicious (apolitically) about the current administration's 'attention' to the stock market. It's uncommon to see presidents tweeting all-time highs every week and it wouldn't surprise me if in

Just because everyone dumps their savings in the stock market doesn't make it any more functional. I think it's obvious by now, considering the actions of the Fed, that the market is propped-up. The debate is actually whether this

Thanks for pointing out the big elefant in the room. It looks like this is the ‘new normal’ though. Pushing people to take on debt as it’s almost interest-free and you might even get help from the government paying it back, all to double up
