The good thing about marketing, and modern tech business is that, if you want to earn another certain currency, honestly all you have to do is launch a domain name in said ccTLD. I've lived in n-eu for a while, but less than 10% of my income was actually EUR.

If EUR falls, to me that is the day it reaches <USD, what would you guys do?

Hosting accounts would become 'expensive', advertising, products, credits etc. would all become 'expensive' as in they'd cost more pound for pound, rather than being a saving of some sort.

Few people realize it, but CNY is almost the strongest currencies in the world right now. The pound is still historically strong.

If EUR falls, it means EUR property could be purchased cheap as long as its paid for in foreign currency.

I know a couple of organizations who use quite genius methods of commerce to effectively trade currency and have a stable supply of whatever denomination they'd want. They trade their existing cheap [and widely-available...] currency for low-priced tangible goods in a high currency jurisdiction, and then re-sell the goods from within that jurisdiction back to their own nation at retail price, except in another denomination. The business model is not done to actually profit from these sales, it's just there to manipulate currency income. All trades are done from VAT-free, and mostly <9% total tax accounts.

If possible, I think it would be good to have a certain amount of CNY. It would be difficult for someone who is not currently a Chinese state citizen though. The Chinese government is extremely protective of both their own currency, as well as any other currency entering or leaving their soil.
 


dont think the EUR will "fall" at all. If you look at the US and their infrastructure.. they're far more fucked.

GBP is fucked nowadays as well.

Honestly I think that right now you would be in a very good position if you would be in posession of a high CHF (historically the most stable currency, switz had a surplus last year and keeps attracting huge companies), NOK (one of the few european countries with large amounts of oil and gas, almost no unemployment, no poverty, no debt) and CNY (duh) stack

Am I glad most of my money is NOT in EURO and I live in the UK ... but then again GBP is completely fucked so holidays are off for a while.

@ricdes; CHF looks very, very solid :)
 
agree with sohan. shit goes down 1c and people panic, lol.

I could care less about a one penny change. It's the fact Greece is close to insolvent, Portugal is getting its credit rating knocked down and is on the same path as Greece, Spain's GDP growth preditcted to be less than a percent through 2016 and got a credit knock too, and that Germany is starting to get tired of propping up the EU's economy as reparations for WW2.

Yeah, the PIGS and the rest of the EU have a real sunny decade ahead of them.

Go Spain Go!

Funny seeing people working 10 hour days here in Madrid for scrapes (1k euros/month) just to KEEP a job.
 
Re: guys on this thread saying sterling is fucked. I'm not so sure short-mid term.


Personally, I think it's oversold and once we're past the election and we get either a slim Tory majority or Lib-Con coalition, we'll see a healthy bounce. How that plays out after this year though remains to be seen, and depends on whatever the incoming government looks like.
 
My Swiss citizenship and assets are looking better every day!

If anyone's interested in some Swiss Bank accounts, give me a shout!
 
The EU is FAR FAR worse economic shape than the US.

The housing bubbles alone dwarf the subprime crisis.

The banking sector is utterly screwed in a myriad of ways. And the way private enterprise is beholden to the banks (90% of funding) means everyone's going down with the big ship (in the US much of that funding comes from shares and bonds, but the Socialist retards in Europe don't understand such free market exoticisms).

Whats happening in Greece is only a prelude. Whether they end up with Argentinian-style chaos or Latvian style austerity measures (lets see the socialist retards in Greece deal with 40% pay cuts in public sector jobs!) shit's gonna fucking burn.

It all comes down to the fact the economies as diverse as Greece, Germany and France cannot all have the same monetary policy forced on them, as the EU is trying to do. All it can do is create the kinds of crises they are facing right now.

First countries will start leaving the Eurozone. Then they'll start collapsing internally into civil war.

Good night Eurabia, Inshallah!

no need for a swiss bank account just to keep CHF. plus, try to find a bank in EU that takes you if you're an US citizen nowadays... just sayin.

The Euro has maintained decent value because right now people generally believe Greece's lack of stability to be the exception. If even one or two other countries start failing, the euro is fucked.

The US meanwhile has turned the nuclear "mutually assured destruction" idea into an economic policy. Between the countries that bought too much of our debt and the countries we control through the IMF(where we have 16.74% of the vote, and are the only country that can unilaterally block a supermajority), our bluff just isn't going to be called for a bit.
 
What percentage of the European Central Banks currency reserves are in USD? And does anyone here own gold. I started transferring about 20% of my cash on hand in to gold. Precious metals FTW.
