“Exactly as Satoshi planned”
Zerohedge published an article commented by Max Keizer that talks about a future banking crisis, expected soon by billionaire Barry Sternlicht, CEO of Starwood Capital Group.
Sternlicht said he expects U.S. regional and community banks to begin failing one or two each week. There are more than 4,000 such banks in the US.
The main reason for this, according to Sternlicht, is that the Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates and will now not begin to reduce them, as announced during the recent FOMC meeting. Therefore, among those who “will be hit” will be the real estate sector and the local banks that work with it. As in 2009, real estate lending will probably be affected now, the billionaire expects.
Overall, experts believe that the US Federal Reserve is currently stuck between allowing a banking crisis (if they keep rates high) and allowing inflation to grow stronger and out of control (if they start easing interest rates). interest). High rates will therefore keep inflation more or less in check, while crucial sectors of the economy, which have a heavy dependence on loans, cannot survive in a higher rate environment, even if at first glance they seem that way. strong enough for that.
Max Keizer believes this is going “exactly as Satoshi planned.”
Keizer supports Robert Kiyosaki’s “failure predictions”
Earlier this week, Keizer shared several screenshots of tweets posted by Bitcoiner and “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki. Robert has frequently tweeted that he expects the US economy to soon collapse along with the “fake” US dollar.
Kiyosaki advocated investing in Bitcoin, as well as physical gold and silver, predicting that the prices of these assets will skyrocket in the near future. Notably, Kiyosaki tweeted this year that he expects BTC to hit $100,000 in September.
Keizer acknowledges that Kiyosaki has generally been right that the U.S. economy is going downhill at a rapid pace.
