The US dollar functions more like a painkiller than a fortress. It masks the underlying damage from unchecked money printing until the system finally breaks, at which point everyone gets hit with the full bill all at once.

Look back at every major empire that went down this road with their own currency experiments — the pattern repeats every time.

Meanwhile, it's worth noting that gold and silver have just hit fresh record highs. Sometimes the market is sending a pretty clear message.

The dollar's life support is just a painkiller; sooner or later, it will settle all accounts in one go, and history repeats itself. Gold and silver have both hit new highs, and market signals are clearer than what you and I say.

Haha, finally someone has said it this time. I was talking about this three years ago, and I was heavily criticized back then. Now, what do you see? Gold and silver reaching new highs, the US dollar depreciating, the historical cycle theory never lies. Painkillers will eventually become ineffective, and when that time comes, we'll all pay the price. Anyway, I'm already prepared.

When the printing press starts, we all have to pay the price. This trick has been played for thousands of years and is still being repeated. The new highs in gold and silver are no coincidence; the market has been hinting at it for a long time.

Damn it, it's the same old crappy script again, the empire's cycle... Gold taking off is the real signal

Painkillers will lose their effect in the morning and evening. Should we just lie flat then?

The printing press keeps running endlessly. Now, seeing gold and silver reaching new highs, it's clear that the market is voting. Everyone isn't stupid.

The analogy of painkillers is perfect; after all, you still have to repay your debts in the end. Can't see gold and silver secretly hitting new highs?

Honestly, the Federal Reserve has been playing this trick for hundreds of years, and the ending is always the same. Gold and silver reaching new highs is the best signal, smart people understand. Unlimited money printing? Haha, we're still in the anesthesia period, just wait for the day of the explosion. History loves to repeat itself; it all depends on who gets on the train first. When the printing press stops, everything is over—this is the real truth. The market won't deceive you; just look at the trend of gold. To put it simply, the US dollar is a ticking time bomb, just a matter of time. Fortress? Laughs. It's nothing but a paper tiger.

The painkiller analogy is brilliant; sooner or later, you'll have to pay off your debt.

The analogy of painkillers is brilliant. People still buying US Treasuries definitely have a bit of a gambler's mentality.
