Japan On Verge Of Systemic Collapse With "Dramatic, Unpredictable Non-Linearities" In Financial Markets, DB Warns
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/japan-...rkets-bank

Hard to say what will happen but I do think USD will no longer be the main reserve currency anymore in years to come. Global trade likely to go towards commodity currencies and likely whoever is producing those commodities will get to call the shots what currency they want to trade in. 

China's debt fueld economy is also a basketcase. But they do have a lot of gold reserves and also the worlds first digital yuan thats been tested and working for a while now. Plus they have electronic payment infrastructure for it with Unionpay (visa killer) and CIPS (Swift killer)
Virtual currencies are worth virtually nothing.

Most of this doomsday/paradigm change talk had existed since I started my OPMI journey some time ago.

I used to subscribe to them, because their supporting reasons sound plausible until I read about Richard Thaler/Daniel Kahneman's work on heuristics/biases.

But I do not discount the possibility that some of this may happen in my life time.

Some bit of reading on Jap history for history buffs (like me).

The forgotten mistake that killed Japan’s software industry

Japan’s zaibatsu were not corporate conglomerates as we think of them today.

You see, although the Meiji government adopted a market-based economy and implemented a lot of capitalist reforms, it was the zaibatsu, with the full support of the government, that kept the economy running.

And the zaibatsu system was almost feudal in nature.

I'm not that familiar with Japanese history but Japan was the second largest PC market during dot com, and it also rode on the dot com wave including NTT Docomo, Softbank etc. Japanese mobile phones and PC was considered premium

And I would also think from Sega to Nintendo to Playstation are also software development

IMHO the main issue is the market for Japanese language which they insist on, even for some PS games up to this day. Even Manga started to gain popularity when they finally have widespread translations

BOJ's Yield Curve Control "Tweak" Ends In Disaster As Yen Tumbles, JGB Yields Soar

I think BoJ is just starting to signal YCC is ending without being too aggressive and let speculators / market force its hand. Too early to judge whether it will work

Yen is the cart not the horse. Japan is trying to come back to sustained inflation after 20 years deflation. No mean feat and one component is a working positive yield curve before BoJ can even hike rate.
