Key Takeaways:
[1:20] “The biggest hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials” – Casey
[4:45] Casey presupposes that the worst of the 2008 recession is yet to come, and that for the last 8-10 years, we have been in the calm, the eye, of the storm.
[6:30] “This could be more than a financial meltdown. Possibly an economic and social meltdown as well.”
[7:00] The U.S. is no longer a country, but more-so a multi-dimensional, domestic, empire.
[9:20] Bonds are a triple threat, about the worst place for your money at this time.
[11:30] Bonds, stocks, cash, gold, cryptocurrency?
[15:15] Have we entered the greater depression? This could potentially be the biggest upset since the industrial revolution.
[20:50] Surviving a depression, the most important thing is to have assets where there is no counter-party risk. Something in which you don’t have to trust a bank, insurance company, or your pension fund.
[23:30] Having fun, what about mining the asteroids?
