For you so called financial experts that are predicting the death of the dollar why do you even bother saving and investing? Hell you guys are experts and should trust yourself enough to just blow it all and live it up, it seems like you don't believe your magic 8 ball to be fully accurate  Risk provides opportunity. |

The dollar is a currency, subject to "currency risk" just like every other currency. Just because governments are idiots and take sledgehammers to their currencies, and by extension economy and social fabric, does not mean the only solution is to not invest. The investment world is simply too used to the US, EU, and Japan having valuable currencies. The difference between these first world countries and third world countries with crappy currencies, is that the first world had a bunch of wealth to squander through their printing presses in the first place, when the third world didn't. So in short, the investment world hasn't figured out yet that some of these first world countries and third-world countries are not all that dissimilar with regards to their financial situation. One just looks better because it could run up debt and pretend it isn't real. The world will always run on capital investment. If the US has to go through a Greater Depression to fix itself, people are better off investing in countries that are not debt-exploding first world, or corrupt and destitute third-world. The only way that not investing is the answer is if we literally have a world ending event, such as an asteroid that would wipe us out in short order. Beyond that, life goes on, and people need capital to create prosperity. ETA: If someone just had to invest in the US, they could create a strategy for that, too. It's just not as good as getting away from the US, and its currency, in general. Think about what would happen during a Great Depression in the US. Go simple: water, food, basic housing, car repair DIY and auto shops (less new cars), batters, stay away from nearly all luxuries, cheap food, stay away from restaurants, security doors and windows, home repair (few new homes), alarm systems, security camera systems, stay away from "service economy" jobs where people can DIY instead, double down on US companies that sell to foreigners. Investing is supposed to be fun to think about.  Non-financial people sometimes know more than they think they do about economics. Usually more than the PhDs, at least.

The Doomer thread (which seems to have finally lost steam - after almost a decade of people confidently claiming that the collapse is right around the corner) was FULL of that kind of stuff. People who watched a few YouTube videos or read an article from ZeroHedge would proudly lecture people about "The Austrian School" and "fiat currency" the "Baltic Dry Index" and confidently make grand predictions, based on their own perceived expertise.

Matt Bracken, of all people, hit the nail on the head between that and the Austrian School: The twentieth-century Austrian School economist Ludwig Von Mises wrote, “There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.” In contrast, when the socialist economist John Maynard Keynes was asked if his self-styled Keynesian credit expansion could continue in the long run, he replied, “In the long run, we are all dead.” Tra-la-la, who cares? It won’t be my problem.
In 2015, the childless homosexual John Maynard Keynes is indeed long dead, but we are still alive, and his “long run” is finally upon us.

So go ahead, look down your nose at the armchair experts, many of which can see the forest from the trees to a far greater degree than the so called "experts" because we at least are free to disagree and converse in the arena of ideas, not just nod our heads in agreement to appease the current populist agenda, only to later scream "but who could have seen that coming" after yet another long inflated bubble bursts or some other easily foreseen disaster strikes.
