I don't think Japan comparisons are useful because there's too many variables that make it completely different
The Yen isn't the world reserve currency, and Japan also has a far different economy and demographics... those things being so different make it impossible to compare the two situations. We could also argue GDP is just a number fake as the fiat it's measured in.
An ideal economy is 0 GDP, implying no conversion of fake currencies, just as no one would consider Bitcoin's circular economy as having GDP, yet its flourishing.
So let's define critical, we can say the system broke in 1971... so maybe then? When did asset prices start outpacing savings accounts? When did aspiring billionaires start going leveraged long bonds, rather than building the actual stuff people need?
These things have been happening gradually for a long time, we're just seeing mounting evidence we're at the suddenly part of the curve.
I believe the interest expense being greater than tax receipts is on track for this year or next, I'd call that a critical milestone.

We've already seen the first innings, the fake pandemic needed to happen to slow the velocity of money by shutting down industry, such black swans:
- provide an excuse to pump trillions into the system
- slow velocity so that the trillions don't immediately collapse the currency by inflating everything all at once
Remember how hastily they needed to get stimmies and the PPP dollars into checking accounts, and therefore the banking system? I'll never forget Mnuchin looking like he was about to shit his pants when they were trying to stimmies out, the Treasury and Fed were consolidated into a single entity that day.
What happened to Bitcoin? It hit 3k before it hit 60.
This is the only thing that stops me from maintaining a 3-4x Bitcoin long open at all times, there must be a draw down before they open the dam again... what's different this time is the same old tricks don't produce the same high...
So I don't think the next drawdown will be as deep as the last one, but the blow off might be the final one as in the death of the dollar as we know it.
The other twist next time surely goes hand in hand with all the WW3 chatter and other weird shit going on. The world order is changing and that's directly linked to currencies.
I don't know exactly what it will look like, but it'll be another manufactured black swan not unlike covid that provides cover for a major change that's about to happen.
We could really lay on the tinfoil and I could tell you how I believe the US has been quietly restructuring under continuity operations since 2020 under the military JSOC and that the psyops we see every day aren't purely political.

Oh that's right I forgot sie sind Deutsch
You may appreciate all the MSM narrative about US not being a reliable NATO partner any more, that goes hand in hand with all of it and is likely foreshadowing something big. Germany couldn't be any more in the middle of all these changes, both economically and geographically. Hope you're a prepper 🫡
