 Money printers are warming up, as central banks again prepare to rescue us from a problem they created. The latest fuel for the dumpster fire? Commercial real estate losses. 

In the GFC, all it took was Goldman marking down its portfolio (after first shorting the market!) to cause contagion.

At present, the Chinese are selling real estate around the globe to meet cash calls on failed projects. (They've also been stacking physical gold for years.)

US regional banks are again teetering.

Both the Fed and ECB are publicly saying commercial real estate is a problem.

And so it continues. Buy #bitcoin.
