Predictions
Seeing into the future is not my game. I don' have a crystal ball, big reading cards, or even a psychic hotline.
Nevertheless, here is my wandering vision of the future.
A black swan event will trigger the economic panic. My guess is that something will happen sooner rather than later.
Move to a high vantage point and look at the herd (masses of people). Everyone I know is nervous, cautious and uncertain about the future. I suspect the global population is the same.
Trouble is brewing all over the earth. Korea,andthe Middle East both show signs of war.
In the USA, the state of Illinois is in financial failure. Thousands who receive state pensions are expected to get .30 cents for each dollar they received in the past. If this happens, the local communities can expect riots, violence, murders, and panic.
Global debt and derivatives put banks and the world financial system at risk. The world runs on credit, and credit is drying up. Therefore, the world economy is slowing down. Bank failures could be a big problem. Few if any of them can weather the coming storm.
Central banks will attempt to calm the crisis with easy money. They will likely pump fiat currency into the system with increasing vigor. Inflation will destroy the buying power and confidence will be lost.
It seems clear to me why most of us live in fear!
When the panic begins, the heard will bolt. Without a clear sense of direction, they will stampede.
They will look to crypto currency as an alternative to existing fiat money. They will look for opportunity and a way to survive. They will find honesty within the block chain.
Steemit will become very popular.
Demand will exceed supply. The value of a steem token will go 'to the moon'.
Today,I give you a tune to think about your expectations for Steemit and the gifts you can offer.

Thanks for sharing. Welcome to my profile @sam99 to grow up together.

I hope you're wrong, but its quiet possible.
