The trigger was just pulled on the economy...
By The Economic Ninja

Economic Fallout and Market Crashes
The speaker asserts that the economic trigger has been pulled, and the data emerging in the next 90 days will reveal the extent of the fallout from recent stock market and crypto crashes. This crash is predicted to be more significant than the FTX crash in 2008. The speaker points to recent bankruptcies in the auto industry, revealing massive offshoot debt that has wiped out billions, with creditors suffering significant losses. Retail investors, however, will only learn about these events after Wall Street disseminates the information post-fourth quarter.
The government is accused of lying and propping up the economy by keeping people content. A staggering $1.65 trillion in value was wiped out from the US stock market in a single day. Banks, institutions, and retail investors with margin accounts and leveraged positions were severely impacted. The speaker notes that this market turmoil was triggered by a "tweet storm."
The Role of Wealthy Individuals and Market Manipulation
The speaker predicts that in the coming months, it will be revealed that wealthy individuals were aware of the impending crash beforehand and capitalized on the dip, particularly in the less liquid crypto markets. This is based on personal experience.
Decentralization vs. Centralization: A Shifting Landscape
A significant shift is observed, with the speaker being attacked by individuals they respect, particularly those within the decentralized camp. These individuals advocate for gold and silver as decentralized alternatives to centralized banking and for decentralized crypto against centralized crypto. The speaker believes this decentralized crowd is about to face a "rude awakening" because they misunderstand the flow of how centralization occurs.
The speaker argues that centralization is enabled by human greed and a reluctance to do the "hard work" of being decentralized or acting as one's own bank. This leads people to fall victim to scams, such as those perpetrated by "fake economic ninjas" who exploit individuals' desire for easy investment, often losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The speaker shares personal anecdotes of people losing money due to scams, despite having access to financial education resources that explicitly warn against such practices.
The Current Economic Collapse and Blame Game
The current market downturn is characterized by a "massive shift" and a tendency to point fingers at external factors like China or the President. The speaker, however, insists that this is a "massive collapse in the US economy" that is being covered up, with the bankruptcies of certain companies serving as proof. The speaker had predicted stock market crashes in a previous video, and the subsequent market movements, including a 900-point drop in the Dow and a significant decline in the S&P 500 and crypto, validated this prediction. The speaker claims to "sense the season" and recognize when they are being lied to.
Integrity and Broken Deals
An example of a broken deal is shared, where an individual who attacked the speaker on X rescinded a business deal, citing a "lack of integrity" on the speaker's part. The speaker highlights the irony, as the other party was the one breaking their word and thus demonstrating a lack of integrity.
Gold, Silver, and the Poor
The speaker criticizes the gold and silver community for not understanding why gold is not the global currency. The argument is that the proponents of decentralization are too poor to buy up all the gold. They save up to buy a single ounce, a struggle the speaker relates to from their past as a firefighter and house cleaner. The speaker recounts being mocked by coworkers for their side hustle while trying to build wealth.
The saying "he who owns all the gold rules" is challenged, as those who espouse it are often unable to afford more than one ounce. The speaker attributes this to infighting, backbiting, lying, and a lack of adherence to one's word within these communities.
Faith and Financial Guidance
A cautionary note is issued against letting individuals dictate one's relationship with God or the Creator based on their pronouncements. The speaker emphasizes that personal faith should not be hindered by others' words.
The Cycle of Gold and Silver
The speaker asserts that gold and silver bugs fail to grasp that gold can decline in nominal terms against other assets like the dollar during economic downturns. They become offended when presented with historical facts. The speaker clarifies that they are not selling their gold and silver, as they advocate for a diversified investment portfolio.
The System and the Coming 90 Days
The speaker states that "Satan runs this system," and this system is currently being "smacked down." The proof, they claim, will be evident in the data released in the next 90 days. This prediction echoes a similar warning made before the FTX crash, which preceded a banking crisis. The speaker recalls predicting a banking crash in America, which materialized with the failures of Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank. They anticipate a similar event in 2026, which will not necessarily lead to an increase in gold prices.
The Importance of Clear Rules and Debt
Drawing from their experience as a firefighter, the speaker emphasizes the need for clear rules and written agreements ("sandboxes") to operate within. The speaker reiterates that gold is outside the current money system because the wealthy have acquired it.
The "Ninja" Plan and Bitcoin's Trajectory
A plan is mentioned, referred to as "Ninja," which is described as a powerful movement of people coming together, listening to a "watchman," and buying specific asset classes that are experiencing price explosions. These individuals are not emotional. The speaker predicts Bitcoin will reach $150,000, potentially soaring to $250,000 in a "blowoff top" over a few weeks, before declining as the economy collapses. This is expected to happen within the next five to six months.
The Downturn of Gold and Silver
The speaker believes that silver and gold will also experience a downturn as stocks decline. They recall a historical cycle where gold rose significantly between 2004 and 2007, then began to dip in mid-2007, coinciding with the stock market's decline in late 2006. Money managers, facing margin calls or liquidity crises due to borrowed money (debt), are forced to sell their gold and silver holdings. Debt is identified as a key factor in both the building and collapsing of empires.
Timing and the Federal Reserve
The speaker stresses that "it all comes down to timing." They criticize those who are "freaking out" for lacking sufficient funds and understanding. The speaker notes that when stocks sell off, the Fed begins to lower rates. They dismiss recent rate cuts as "political stunts" that have had no real economic impact, particularly on mortgage rates. The speaker asserts that a banking crisis is already underway, unknown to most. The current situation is framed as a battle between the White House and the Fed, despite their close relationship.
Rate Lowering Cycles and Lending Tightening
A true rate-lowering cycle by the Fed involves emergency meetings and significant rate cuts (50 or 75 basis points), followed by further reductions in subsequent meetings. This indicates a problem. During such cycles, even individuals with excellent credit may struggle to secure loans as banks tighten lending standards due to Fed scrutiny over eased lending practices. This has been ongoing for two years.
The 2008 Crash and Foresight
The 2008 crash is recalled, with the speaker noting that while many learned about it the week of the event, it was not an overnight occurrence. Individuals like the speaker were selling homes in 2005, anticipating the downturn. Robert Kiyosaki is mentioned as having recognized the speaker's foresight in early 2005.
The Coming 3-6 Months and Earnings Season
The speaker urges listeners to record the video for future reference. The data from the first week of January will provide insights into recent events. However, cracks will appear earlier as large companies and financial institutions prepare for earnings season, attempting to soften the impact of anticipated sell-offs. End-of-year tax-loss sales are also expected to exacerbate the situation.
The Decentralized Community's Flip and a Strategic Conversion
The speaker observes that the gold and decentralized crypto communities are turning against them. This is attributed to their inability to see the "cycle flip" and their lack of financial resources or community support to "buy up all the gold."
The speaker plans to convert a significant portion of their Bitcoin into physical precious metals once Bitcoin reaches its peak and then begins to decline. This strategic move is intended to capitalize on a period where crypto is still strong, but precious metals are weak.
Meekness and Inheriting the Earth
This strategy is framed as a movement of "meek" people who have come together. Meekness is defined not as weakness, but as having "full power and authority to do something for yourself, whatever you desire, but waiting until and and waiting to pull the trigger till it makes sense for not only you but for humanity as well." This approach is linked to the biblical concept of the meek inheriting the earth.
Warren Buffett is cited as an example of meekness, slowly buying assets on sale and selling them at their peak, accumulating wealth without using it for personal gain. The speaker's "financial report card" is their bank account, and they hope listeners are achieving good grades.
Conclusion
The speaker concludes by stating that "It's about to get real, real exciting." The overarching message is one of impending economic crisis, the importance of understanding market cycles, and a call for a strategic, patient, and diversified investment approach, emphasizing integrity and foresight.
