BTCitcoin is about to moon!

 The world economy just got canned! BTCitcoin is more valuable than ever right now! The price will soon reflect!

On Monday, the price of U.S. oil dropped below 38 dollars a barrel for the first time in six years.  The last time the price of oil was this low, the global financial system was melting down and the U.S. economy was experiencing the worst recession that it had seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s.  As I write this article, the price of U.S. oil is sitting at $37.65.  For months, I have been warning that the crash in the price of oil would be extremely deflationary and would have severe consequences for the global economy.  Nations such as Japan, Canada, Brazil and Russia have already plunged into recession, and more than half of all major global stock market indexes are down at least 10 percent year to date.  The first major global financial crisis since 2009 has begun, and things are only going to get worse as we head into 2016.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs are even more pessimistic than that. According to Business Insider, they are saying that we could eventually see the price of oil go below 20 dollars a barrel…

At OPEC’s meeting on Friday, member countries decided to set its production level at 31.5 million barrels per day, and did not agree on what the new limit should be.

After OPEC’s meeting, commodity strategists at Goldman put out a note saying that oil prices could plunge another 50% in the coming months, as the oil market tries to rebalance the supply and demand situation.

That may sound really good to you, especially if you fill up your gas tank frequently.  But the truth is that plunging oil prices are exceedingly bad for the U.S. economy as a whole.  In recent years, the energy industry has been the primary engine for the creation of good jobs in this country, and now those firms are having to lay off people at a frightening pace.  Not only that, CNBC’s Jim Cramer is warning that many of these firms may actually start going under if the price of oil doesn’t start going back up soon…

Former global macro fund manager Raoul Pal says there’s now a 65% chance of a global recession.

What amazes me is that so many people out there cannot see what is happening even though the next great crisis has already started.  The evidence is all around us, and yet so many choose to be willingly blind.

Instead of fixing our problems after the last crisis, we just papered them over with lots of money printing and lots more debt.  And of course all of this manipulation just made our long-term problems even worse.  I really like how Peter Schiff put it recently…

What’s happening is pretty much what we would anticipate. I don’t see from the data any real economic recovery, certainly not in the United States.

We’re spending more money, but it’s not because we’re generating more wealth. We’re generating more debt. We’re using that borrowed money to consume and so temporarily it feels that we’re wealthier because we get to spend all that money… but we have to come to terms with paying the bill.

The bills are going to come due. Right now interest rates are being kept at zero which makes it possible to service the debt even though it’s impossible to repay it… at least we can service it. But once interest rates go up then we can’t even service it let alone repay it.

And then the party is going to come to an end.

Indeed – the party is coming to an end, and a new financial crisis is playing out in textbook fashion right in front of our eyes.

Hopefully you are already prepared for what is coming next, because it is going to be extremely painful for the U.S. economy.

Brent and U.S. crude settled at or near February 2009 lows in belated reaction to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries' (OPEC) policy meeting on Friday which ended without an agreement to lower production.

"Price-wise, the market could be going for max pain after this," King said.

Stocks have given back nearly half of Friday's big gains following a steep sell-off today for oil and industrial metals. The energy sector by far has been the biggest loser among the 10 industrial sectors in the S&P 500 after crude oil prices plunged to a seven-year low.

BTCitcoin officially FULL BULL MODE

Sorry Lambie. Your central banky facade is about to come to an end. Forever.

Thanks for sharing.  I like Peter Schiff as well.

That's why I'm investing quite a bit in bitcoin right now.  I feel it may be the only chance my family has to survive a LONG recession/depression.  You know what usually follows a depression:  WAR

And this next WAR might go nuclear.  The elites want a war to take the blame off of themselves for wrecking the world economy.

Even when fiat is becoming useless they still want to take it all. It was my obligation to share as a community member. This is huge. The economy is officially crashing. Hedge in BTCitcoin while it's still under the ATH.

Totally agree...

I'm all I can.  I've purchased over $30K in bitcoin in the past week alone.

I have such mixed feelings.   

I have a couple bitcoins, so I am happy, but the economy is crashing which makes me sad.

This could get rough for everybody.

Buy Bitcoin!

Schiff himself is not in favour of bitcoin though he sees parallels to the anti dollar theme, he recommends gold over anything 'virtual'.    One of his co hosts on his old show was in favour of bitcoin though, a radio DJ I forget his name now though

Oil is really plumbing new depths now, its very unpopular.  There is FOMC this weekend which may be the last big 'news' of this year, not sure it'll alter any precedent really.   Almost always the market overshoots to both negative and positive swings

The tixie digital Bitcoin ticker project is live at indigogo. The Bitcoin finding page doesn't seem to be up yet but not that bad of a price in my opinion.
