A Flood of MoneyThe stock market is getting bubbly, bonds pay zilch and the world needs somewhere to stash all those trillions of freshly printed dollars. I cannot overstate just how big a factor this is. It is no coincidence that crypto is soaring in a year when $12 trillion in government stimulus has been dumped out of helicopters across the globe. And more is on the way! It's incredible. The Federal Reserve's balance sheet (the nice way of saying the tally of fake money it has printed) will stand at 41% of the nation's GDP by the end of this year. Half of it will have been printed in the last 12 months. Insane. Think of it this way... It's like a balloon. The stock market balloon has been inflating for more than 12 years. More than a decade of stimulus and record-low rates have stretched the balloon quite tight. It's tight enough that it's keeping many folks from putting any more air in. The real estate balloon is also tight... but it's constrained by the mortgage market and the number crunchers to keep things from getting overinflated. But the crypto balloon? It was flat this time a year ago and still hardly has a breath's worth of air in it. It has tremendous room to expand. Dollar Days Are DoneAnd finally, the third reason I see crypto only gaining value is the inevitable death of the dollar. This angle fascinates me. I read a report from a big bank recently that detailed how badly the world's central banks are losing the race to create their own sovereign forms of digital money. Europe is in the hunt but is years behind. Washington, D.C., is still scratching its head about the idea. And China has already rolled its out and is paying folks to use it. Meanwhile, the free market - led by the likes of PayPal and Square - is entrenching the role of digital money by accepting more and more of it each day. We may soon pass the point of no return... where sovereign money becomes a second-class citizen. The world has every reason to make the change. The political class is printing and spending money with a reckless abandonment of common sense. The free market is rushing to an alternative. Crypto's value is only going to rise. It is a speculator's dream come true. Digital money has all the fundamentals of gold... with a moonshot upside that even the hottest stocks can't dream of. For all of my thoughts on why this is the "Year of Crypto," click this link. When you do, you'll see why so many cryptos have flat-out trounced even the best stocks. And you'll get the details on the three coins at the top of my "Buy" list RIGHT NOW. Just click here. Be well, Andy |
