Tech Dollar
dantalks1.substack.comAuthor badly needs an editor. I almost noped out after:
> Disclaimer: I decided I’m not going to use charts or any other bs. If you need to be shown the data, this article isn’t for you and you aren’t going to make it anyway. This is strictly for people at the top of the food chain or who want to be there. Yes this is long, I don’t care. It’s you and your families life at stake.
If they had either a writing style or work history that justified it, I'd have slogged through but the number of typos didn't invite me to go further.
He also gets SO CLOSE on a lot of important things. Examples include:
1) The US has been running a massive trade deficit with a country that saves more than it consumes and intentionally deflates its currency (China).
2) 'Buy real assets that produce cash flows' is a funny thing to say when you predict a cash crash
3) The random autism reference in reference to income inequality.
Oh well, there's nuggets in there.
That does not come across well. If I were a tech leader, am I really going to trust allegedly life-saving advice from someone who can't write and won't give their data? Probably not.
I know that you can have the most beautifully polished and edited bullshit text, BUT if the ideas are not coming out in an orderly fashion, can I trust that they were generated in a sound mind?
If the author reads it again can they understand it?
The random bolding is especially jarring. I feel like I'm being yelled at.
> The misunderstanding of what drives the value of the US dollar has been the premise of a lot of objectively incorrect decisions in the investment world, corporate world, government policy (Both US, China and other countries) and international relations.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but... when every expert has it wrong in the same direction, and you have the actual true answer, there's a good chance that tinfoil hat is too tight.
> Top of the food chain people are creative and sometimes abrasive. These types of people don’t operate well in politically correct enforced structures, which modern corporates are
Mmmkay. The crackpot sensors are definitely tingling.
> And every day more join us in the flotilla to safety of crypto and hard assets. Those in the know have already done this, or are currently doing so now.
Ah. Goldbug.
This link is the textual equivalent of a two hour youtube video from a guy whose only qualification is that he alone knows The Truth behind world events.
