I got shellacked in the 2000 tech bust. Later, having thought I learned that lesson, sold some of the best network effect companies for no other reason than to take "profits"; and in so doing left life-changing millions on the table in subsequent runups (MSFT, AMZN). By the time the GFC rolled around, I had red-pilled myself on the unbelievable corruption of the world's fiat monetary system. Back then it wasn't as widely understood as it is today (thanks to Bitcoin). Started slowly stacking gold/silver and not worrying about price. I didn't get hurt in the GFC (other than real estate value decline by 40%) and won't get hurt in the coming monetary reset.

I sleep well with neutral assets like Bitcoin that have no captured, corrupted, regulated, or greedy rug-pulling bankster counterparty. Highly recommended for mental well being as the sovereign debt crisis starts to get real and the establishment starts shrieking that something must be done (to stoke more inflation).

We are ready. Do your worst.
