I keep hearing folks talk about this theory for the last week. Can anyone explain the milkshake theory to me as if I am a retard? What are the final implications if I want to invest, if this theory true? Do I just hold dollars in cash?

This is the key to the Dollar Milkshake Theory. As smaller economies collapse, they'll seek refuge in USD. This will give the appearance of a strong USD and bullish American economy, but in truth is vicarious hyperinflation.

How? Why? I can see a collapse of third worlds given the past 2 years, but other first world countries?

>>51635557
Rate differences between the US and foreign central banks kickstarted a demand cycle for US dollars. Also, everything is denominated in dollars in foreign businesses, they can't opt not to use them. Economic slowdown abroad makes their currencies worth less, which forces businesses with dollar debts to convert increasingly more of their local currency to dollars which exacerbates the issue. As the currency collapses, they convert more to dollars for safety, which exacerbates the issue. Et cetera.

>> No.51639326

>>51635557
Basically:
As global economy struggles the US is perceived to be the most stable economy due to it's size and the fact that the US dollar is the de facto world currency. This causes foreign countries to invest their money in US stocks - this brings in HUGE amounts in dollars. Foreign currencies therefore drop against the dollar causing further US investment - this is happening now and affecting global markets. Devaluation of foreign currencies causes their interest payments in USD to increase. The Fed raises base rates and does quantitative tightening and sucks up the liquidity like a fat straw in a thick milkshake.

Yeah I just ignore the part about Russia desu. Japan doing currency control by, probably, dumping 10 and 30yr UST's is just the start. It didn't seem to work they way they wanted and are probably going to have to do it again relatively soon and they have a lot of UST's to burn though.

Russia doesn’t collapse.
Russia has the strongest debt to GDP ratio of them all. Only 18%.
And is completely energy independent.
They can print their own currency all they want and live for years without French Parmesan cheese.

Look at all those other countries in serious trouble with huge debt to GDP and no energy.

Bottom line is: the US dollar is what needs to be supported to justify a dollar milkshake price. Ironically that means that US inhabitants will be forced to live in a country where a milkshake costs $5 but the rest of the world will be able to buy a milkshake for $1, because of the store of pumped value in the USA books.

>Fake Ukraine drama
>Desperate and cold Europe
>US destroying the MMT concept in place that fed the global brrrr machine
>Food/resource shortages that undeveloped countries can't contend with

Ok they can also tell me to go back to pol , but I agree with most of this.
Clearly we were energy independent under Trump, we’ve had enough oil and at low price. Then Biden team started intentionally shutting everything down- from oil pipelines, to not allowing new oil fields in Alaska, to shut down of nuclear and power plants.
They knew countries like Germany can’t live without external energy, and made sure Germany gets none of Russian energy - Ukraine, nord stream shut down.
Some of this looks too intentional to ignore.

At first it looks like a whip-saw of stupid Covid supply and demand, but at this point it's more of an orchestrated govt control tactic as laid out and predicted by Spars / WEF.
Not to mention all of the food processing 'disruptions'
I'm certain there is pain in developing countries.
We're seeing the pain in Europe.
I can't help but expect the same in the US. Could it be a CIA/media bullshit since the average Joe is so prideful? So used to living paycheck to paycheck? So wrapped in media hype to not recognize the shitstorm?

Foreign central banks liquidity gets sucked up. The global economy has been propped up by over $20 trillion since the financial crash in 2008. There'd be a massive global financial crisis.

Don't know if it would happen this way, it's all speculation, but there's certainly something happening right now. I suspect they are trying to make the US Dollar, EU Euro and GB Pound all have parity, then introduce a single global currency. Look at the exchange rates between $/€/£ - it's getting close to 1.00
