Trump administration will push it

In a recent interview, Roubini gave about ten primary reasons that may cause the coming crisis of the banking system and the financial markets. One of them is the growing FED inflation rate and lack of understanding between President Trump with China, Canada and other major trading partners of the US.

The current situation may get worse

Even though several countries like Venezuela, Argentina, and Turkey are suffering a hyperinflation and deep monetary crises, crypto coins are currently what their residents are using at the moment. This is in spite of the current bearish crypto market which has lost over 80 percent of its value in 2018.

The major economies and their fiat currencies, like the US dollar, Chinese Yuan, etc, are still stable. They are backed and controlled by the central banks. However, a quick inflation surge and economy overheating could make their stable currencies lose their value and plummet.

Roubini believes that the situation may get worse due to US financial debt which keeps growing and this is now can be seen in the rise in basic economic figures, like mortgage and student loans, debts on credit cards. This could make the 2008 crisis seem kids’ stuff next to what makes a break out in 2020.

How crypto can be useful
