People predict the dollar is going to give up the ghost. They could be right because of historical data which points in that direction. However, most people forget data science is a zillion edged sword. You use all the information available to you to make accurate predictions but ignore that you’re leaving a trail of data behind. It’s a game of fetch. They’re waging and betting heavily against you. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is why the rich keep getting richer and the poor get poorer.

Imagine the dollar survives. Who would the survivors be?

An insightful few who will begin the race for the first Trillionaire. You feel how far it is right? Imagine a few months before that, the dollar is out of bonds support. James, it doesn't need to be a Skyfall. The recession wouldn't go away. Lol. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

The rise of the dollar will come as a shock. Only a few would have amassed a reasonable amount to skyrocket to TrillionaireHood. By the time most wake up, the mother ships would have left this dimension.

Digression — Glimpse from the future

We’ll be able to transfer our consciousness into different sleeves. It could be similar to how the new Apple macOS Big Sur auto switches the context of your AirPods between your phone and laptop depending on what device you’re actively using. Altered Carbon on Netflix has a nice perspective on sleeving.

A glimpse of this would be realising that you spent the whole day on Twitter. Think about it. You spend most of the day physically in a particular area but your mind is in a virtual world interacting with apps, games, videos, songs and people you’ve never met. A Thanos snap would zap you to the cave people days and poof, you’re virtual reality is gone.

Just like marvel movies, every episode has a surprise at the end…

They won the election. The world was divided. Some felt they were a joke. Others felt they were the holy grail. 2 Presidents in the Oval office…

Penipsode 2 coming soon….
