I don't have a clue, the saying that describes it best is "Things will continue to run OK, until they don't."

It could be tomorrow it could be 10-15 years but the only thing keeping the US on top right now is the reserve currency status of the U$D. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king and there isn't really a viable alternative, yet. The U$D sucks the least right now but China & Russia have been buying gold like nobody's business.

The blockchain may very well be thing that throws everything into change..
