This article is initially very well written and convincing. And it started to stress me out a little bit! Am I at great risk for having most of my wealth tied to the dollar? But taking a step back: It is making very strong predictions for a future state of what I would consider a chaotic system. As the author identifies as a Physicist and not a Psychic, why is there no mention of uncertainty? No mention of how you would test or refute the prediction? Looking at very selectively picked graphs is like reading tea leaves. If even just a few people read the article and change their investment strategy as a result you already affected the outcome.
