Lol when interest rates are at 0 and you can't raise them because the economy is fucked, the only way to go is negative. If they don't go negative the fed is just admitting that they are a completely pointless institution that can't do a damn thing to influence the economy. Maybe they'll just leave rates at 0 forever, promising an imminent recovery and rate-hike. They've been singing that tune for awhile now. If the economy gets worse they'll have to choose between going negative or just throwing up their hands and saying there's nothing they can do. Except more QE of course.

You must live on the west coast,this real estate market is going to blow and people are going to be committing suicide left and right.

When the bubble does burst it will effect me more in a work related sense as the new construction permits will flow to a trickle.
Jobs will be put on hold as companies that also speculated go under. Its going to be nasty if the day comes because a lot of people have taken out loans against their current value of the house or they are paying max just to get into the market. If the value goes up or down to fast people can catch heat.

I do not see people flooding to bitcoin when that happens though. More likely it will be to late for a bunch of people.
