None of us knows the future as fact. We can only make predictions.

I've made mine. To elaborate upon it, there are two possibilities: crash up (hyperinflation followed by loss of confidence in the currency) or crash down (rates hike and true price discovery returns like the bright light at closing time).

I'm all ears if you believe there's a third option.

The option you've describe is "crash up." I invite you to read up on historical crashes up. They're not "relatively smooth." We're in for a world of economic shit here, and that can never be avoided.
