October 2018 Economist World Currency Phoenix Prophecy
THIRTY years from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many other rich countries, and some relatively poor ones will probably be paying for their shopping with the same currency. Prices will be quoted not in dollars, yen or D-marks but in, let’s say, the phoenix. The phoenix will be favoured by companies and shoppers because it will be more convenient than today’s national currencies, which by then will seem a quaint cause of much disruption to economic life in the last twentieth century.

The above prediction was scarily right as the 10 th of October: "Dow Jones slides more than 800 points in worst day for eight months"

... and today, 6 months later, we are still trading below that level... coincidence?
