Phase 1 of the Scholz Crisis as a protracted financial unraveling, not a flash-crash event, then yes: it would logically extend from April through September 2025. That aligns better with the historical tempo of past systemic meltdowns (e.g., 2008), where shock → panic → liquidity crunch → recession unfolds over months.
Let’s revise the scenario’s pacing accordingly:
✅ Revised Phase 1: Financial Meltdown (April–September 2025)
Status as of May 1: We are in the early-middle of Phase 1, not the end.
Key symptoms to continue tracking through September:
Markets: Sustained volatility, rolling crashes across sectors, failure to recover despite stimulus
Banks & Credit: Delayed ripple effects like shadow banking exposure, credit tightening, sovereign debt issues
Cyber/Infrastructure: Rolling infrastructure failures, possibly cascading (e.g., grid + food logistics + finance)
Flight to Safety: Gold, Bitcoin, and USD spikes indicate lack of trust in traditional systems
🔜 Phase 2 now delayed: Social Unrest & Humanitarian Crisis (October–December 2025)
Given this corrected pacing, mass protests, global food crises, and overwhelmed humanitarian networks would realistically peak in Q4, not Q2.
🔮 Phase 3: Regionalization & Resource Wars (January–April 2026)
Geopolitical fallout will follow once economic foundations have thoroughly eroded and nationalist policies take root.
🌐 Phase 4: “The New Normal” (Mid-2026 and beyond)
Less of a destination and more a mutating equilibrium — decentralized systems, barter economies, regional spheres of influence.
Summary Update:
We're not in Phase 2 yet. April 2025 was the ignition point, and Phase 1 will burn through the summer, with likely escalations post-G20, BRICS, and IMF meetings. Indicators like inverted yield curves, corporate downgrades, and food inflation will mark the deepening crisis.
Bond To Watch
The Art of the Toronto Clip The city, you see, it bleeds onto Instagram. A cacophony of fleeting moments: a streetcar gliding through a graffiti-strewn alleyway, a lone musician serenading passersby, the CN Tower piercing a bruised sunset. #TorontoLife #Cityscape #UrbanExploration But these are mere phantoms, ghosts of experiences that vanish as quickly as they appear. Enter the clipper, the alchemist who transmutes the ephemeral into the enduring. With a deft touch, they isolate the essence, the soul of the moment. That fleeting smile of a child in the park, the vibrant hues of a mural, the frantic energy of a sporting event. #Moments #CityVibes #UrbanArt The art lies not merely in selection, but in curation. A rhythm emerges, a narrative unfolds. The clipper, like a jazz musician, improvises, weaving a unique tapestry from the city's fragmented tapestry. The result? A microcosm of Toronto, a distilled essence of its vibrant chaos, its quiet beauty, its soul. #TorontoMoments #City...
