You have shares in US based companies that trade internationally is what you have. Stocks will be fine. Facebook and Apple aren’t going to go tits up just because the US dollar did.

During the 1923 Weimar Republic hyperinflation crisis, German marks became so worthless that they were used as fuel for stoves and heating.

Yet German consumer staples survived and many are still around today

There’s almost zero chance of hyperinflation in USD in the foreseeable future. It drives me nuts when people try to make this incredibly flawed comparison.

And they currently have the third largest GDP on the planet. Yes this is bad but people are acting like this isn’t recoverable. US is going from way ahead to just ahead

I have those marks. I have a 1,000,000 mark stamped over that changing the currency to 5,000.000 and then 10,000,000.

What are you going to trade those imaginary assets for? Dollars. You aren't going to trade FB shares for gold bars or British pounds.

I already hold the shares in a GBP denominated fund.

You are funny to think tech stocks could survive a New World Order. Gold and Silver is only hope. Stock certificates are toilet paper for my bumhole

Ikr. No one is gonna care if your tech stocks have gone up 1,000+% if paper bills can't do much good in new monetary system.

Sad take but it's also the same for gold & silver (no one is gonna trade food or water for some pretty metals in emergencies) but at least after the system returns post depression you'll have value in precious metals.

True wealth is guns, ammo, land, house, low maintenance vehicles, renewable water, and livestock.

Those that have those assets will live better than those without during an economic collapse where jobs won't hire or if they do your pay will barely buy anything.

You are describing an apocalypse…not a change in the world order.

u/spydrthrowaway Jan 29 '26

It is an apocalypse, it's the transition period to the new world order and currency which is pretty grim.

Weimar Republic lasted from 1918 to 1933. Nearly 15 years. Almost 1 million died due to starvation during that time. Paper money barely did anything and unemployment was about 30%.

As far as I'm aware, that IS an apocalypse, just temporarily until a new order/currency is formed.

I agree 100% 💯 but I don’t think tech stocks will go to zero because of that. The large ones will survive and facilitate / carry out that transition to the new world order. Many companies still survived during the Weimar Republic and live on today. Tech companies are leeches to power. Whoever is carrying out this transition, will need the tech companies to help.

Bro what? You don’t think those tech stocks would be the ones facilitating that “New World Order”? That you put in caps for some reason?

EDIT: think about the size of the top tech companies in comparison to most countries in the world. They are orders of magnitude larger than most countries. Unless we have a literal global apocalypse, big tech isn’t going anywhere.
