The 1% is willing to pay whatever imaginary fiat currency they can to eliminate the need for the working class. Then they can finally get rid of us.

    Hedging their bets. They're only capable of being sure of the future as the next person, which isn't very capable at all. But they have the ill-gotten means to back both sides so they continue to be on top.

    It's not that. Nobody really expects to achieve firm satisfactory result in something never done before, to justify the risk.

    It's a bubble. That they found money to make such an input into inflating it just means the outcome of said bubble bursting is this good for them.

    I'm interested what exactly will happen when it bursts. A dictatorship, or a blitzkrieg against half of the world, or what else.

    Surely they have some explanation how that doesn't happen, otherwise they are making strange plans.
