The Dollar’s Slow Crash: Why We All Feel It
Nothing moves in a straight line forever, and the dollar’s long reign is fracturing. The signs are everywhere, and the pain is real.
Chaos is the New Normal
We’ve entered a cycle where uncertainty isn't temporary—it's the status quo. Global trade wars, reckless policy swings, and shifting alliances have stalled investment and frozen decisions from the corporate boardroom down to kitchen tables. When policy is unpredictable, spending stops. This collapse of confidence hits the dollar as much as inflation itself.
Silver Surges While Dollars Burn
Look at silver: recently it surged dramatically, breaking 13-year highs and climbing above $35 per ounce. Precious metals expert David Morgan calls this a "bond-market-driven" surge, suggesting it's more than just speculation—it's a sign that markets are losing trust in paper currencies. When silver and gold explode higher, they're sending a clear warning: the dollar is in trouble.
Inflation is Eating the Soul of America
Inflation doesn't just rob purchasing power; it undermines our culture and values. It turns citizens into debt slaves, punishes saving, and rewards recklessness. Inflation is the hidden tax that quietly erodes your life's work until your savings no longer feel safe.
Real Pain on Main Street
Economic suffering is spreading fast. Homelessness in the U.S. has reached record numbers, with over 771,000 people now homeless and many more struggling paycheck-to-paycheck. This isn’t just numbers—it's family, friends, neighbors. Meanwhile, the media spins fairy tales of economic strength, ignoring the struggle of everyday Americans.
A Debt-Fueled Cycle Before the Crash
Economist Hyman Minsky warned that periods of stability often set the stage for collapse by encouraging excessive risk and debt accumulation. Cheap credit and central bank interventions don't prevent crashes—they create conditions ripe for them. The dollar’s problems today are symptoms of a leveraged economic system teetering dangerously close to collapse.
What You Need to Do Now
Expect Higher Prices: As the dollar weakens, inflation will accelerate.
Consider Precious Metals: Silver and gold are insurance against failing currencies.
Diversify and Prepare: Develop independent skills, side income streams, and practical resilience.
Reject False Narratives: Understand the reality—things are not fine—and prepare accordingly.
Final Thoughts
The dollar isn’t collapsing overnight; it’s decaying visibly each day. We see it in stalled investments, rising commodity prices, inflation ravaging our values, and spreading economic misery. The surge in silver is just the tip of the iceberg. Recognize the warning signs and take action now—your economic survival depends on it.
If you didn’t know I wrote a book about surviving the great reset that goes into great detail about all of this and how to prepare and get through it with as few scrapes as possible.
Best option is to leave to he country prior to the collapse. Barring that, being debt free and producing some of your own food and energy are the second best option. As Doug Casey says, governments in normal times treat their citizens like milk cows. In hard times they treat them like beef cows. Look for capital controls, they started years ago but look for them to accelerate. They will confiscate your resources if they think they need to.
We've seen this coming for years. 5 years ago bought 125 acres and moved to the country. Cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and more. In my view homesteading is the most viable solution to what is coming. Precious metals will be a good hedge for preserving wealth for when or if the country and economy rebound. Just my two cents.
