>tfw watched Margin Call today
Call me a retard but it really hit me how deep and tentacular the world's entire financial system is, and I want to know more about it.
Something like the subprime crisis is bound to happen again, right? What form will it take next time?
How do I learn and prepare for when shit hits the fan?
Who even runs this shit at the highest level? Is it the banks? The rating agencies? The central banks? Nobody? This is fucking me up, bros.

Margin Call is a great movie, it has perfect pacing IMO.

Yeah it was really good. I also enjoyed The Big Short but it's vastly inferior imo.

>> No.16937366

>Something like the subprime crisis is bound to happen again, right? What form will it take next time?

Yes. A lot of people think it will be the student loan bubble, but personally I think it will be a different straw that breaks the camel's back and triggers credit default swaps en masse that results in banks suddenly being in too deep for underwriting speculative credit.

>how do I prepare

Hard to say.

It'll be the same on repeat because the foreign debt crisis wasnt solved and there is no way anyone will pay back anything anytime soon. At zero interest currencies will die one after the other. This is happening already yet EUR and USD are comparably safe and strong. They'll fail, eventually, and will be replaced by decentralized financial systems. Most likely BTC as a reserve/standard with millions of regional and local currencies for everything you can imagine and some fungible and internationally accepted currencies.

When governments have the power to print money, guess what they'll do.

If a lot of people think that, isn't it unlikely to be that? Wasn't the subprimes crisis partly enabled by how utterly blind everyone except top execs was to what was going on?
Do you have a specific hypothesis, though?
>Nobody.
So pic related is right, then?
I thought some entity at least had a great amount of oversight concerning worldwide economic and fiscal policies. I was mainly thinking about the Bank of International Settlements, although someone once told me Blackrock pretty much ran Wall Street at some point.

the next shit show will start in europe with deutsche bank they have 50 trillion of worthless shit on their books, banks have stopped lending to eachother since september because nobody can accurately determine eachothers real exposure to DB
this crisis will lead to the death of the euro and the breakup of the eurozone and with it take a lot of global consumers offline into poverty tier, so yes even burgers will feel the effects
the real reason behind it is the lack of eurobonds due to the circus that is the EU the ecb cannot print all out, which is what they should be doing

Hard to say, but the fact that we have a concept for truth and can obtain knowledge in a manner to give advantage in life means there is one.
We can only approximate the truth, though. That's why there's different narratives. Some are better, some worse.

It does, computers are incapable of making up completely fake narratives unbound by reality. Humans would not swallow it.
Either way I strongly believe if computers do run market narratives the seed of them still has to be suggested by humans and until a true AI, always will be.

dude, i've been reading "options, futures, and other derivatives" (standard university derivatives textbook) for the first time. it's crazy how much removed all this shit is from actual assets. like, people trading contracts 3-4 orders removed from the actual asset. in fact, assets don't really change hands that often, it's mostly just betting on prices but that betting takes the form of futures and options and other shit. it really is a house of cards.

Pic is partially right. There's a non-negligible element in markets that's likely to swing one way or the other due to some feedback loop. Your best way to survive is to have a good community to rely on if shit hits the fan. There's more to life than stocks and money. Money is only a means for transferring value. If your community can generate and share value, then you should be ok if finance goes fubar.

>The report said that one-third of all income taxes are consumed by waste and inefficiency in the federal government, and another one-third escapes collection owing to the underground economy. "With two thirds of everyone's personal income taxes wasted or not collected, 100 percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the federal debt and by federal government contributions to transfer payments. In other words, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services that taxpayers expect from their government

It’s pseud horseshit.
Machines only give data about certain markets which can influence certain behaviors but other than large corporations and very greedy individuals most content creators (especially youtubers) are more concerned with HUMAN created policies making them obsolete than algorithms promoting them or not. The guy who wrote that clearly has no idea how modern content creation works.
