Default Re: X Post: My thoughts on the coming dollar collapse

Barron,

I believe you might be off a little here. The prime recipients of the benefits of any currency dilution are the gov't issuer and the 1st-tier in-the-club, no-bid contractors such as Halliburton, Blackstone, and other huge gov't contractors.

All of these spend diluted dollars at pre-dilute prices. As such, they are huge winners in a rigged game.

To state that they flipped a coin on the up-down bias of the numbers (CPI and Core) may be off a little bit.

Nash, in his game theory work cites collusion as super-rational. Given this, it is hard to argue your coin-flip position IF you believe dilution, especially the currency dilution happening now, is fully intentional.
