Given the unpredictability of financial collapse timing, the most logical approach is as follows: • Assume a gradual economic recession is inevitable, while a sudden collapse is highly probable. • Prepare for: • Being able to withstand a gradual economic recession. • Having the opportunity to become wealthy in the event of a sudden collapse or market reset. This essentially means: • Reducing reliance on long-term fiat currency investments (e.g., bonds, fixed pensions denominated in volatile currencies). • Focusing more on stable, scarce, and non-dependent assets (e.g., Bitcoin, certain metals, productive physical assets, skills, businesses). • Maintaining sufficient liquidity to cope with market volatility and avoid being forced to sell valuable assets at market lows.
