What are /biz/'s prediction for the economy in 2018?

I am very pessimistic on the whole and believe that by Q4 2018 or Q1 2019 we will be in recession, preceded by some large scale stock market crash. However in the very short term over Q1 and Q2 2018 I believe the best gains are still ahead, with thrill turning to unqualified euphoria and the potential for the markets to go parabolic before crashing out.

In terms of crypto as a basket of coins, I am unsure how the year will pan out. The sever crash will either propel them to the moon and enter the crypto market into a new paradigm, or will also tank the market. As a hedge, the majority of my portfolio is now in the precious metals, but if you don't mind taking a risk crypto could do astronomically well this year. As far as specific coins go I see bitcoin falling of the top spot and being replaced by either Ripple, Etherieum or Moreno all of which I see having a great year.

so taxation could easily be replaced with optional charity. I agree!

Who here has assets outside of crypto? What does your portfolio look like considering your whole net worth?
