Based on 80-year and 170-year economic cycles, a major global collapse is predicted for 2017. This cycle theory suggests that the world may avoid a total collapse in the immediate term but will face a significant downturn in three to four years.

Dvorak famously labels Bitcoin as the "Beanie Babies of currency," predicting it is a precursor to a major market crash. He compares the current cryptocurrency speculation to the Beanie Baby craze of the late 1990s, which served as a coincident index for the dot-com bubble. The hosts argue that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and relies purely on speculative mania.

The collapse of the "Celtic Tiger" is attributed to a housing bubble fueled by debt that the country cannot repay now that German lenders are calling in markers. The hosts discuss the resulting mass emigration of the Irish workforce and the intervention of the IMF.

By blowing up a bubble and then crashing the currency, bankers can use their bonuses to buy up land, companies, and houses at deflated prices. This is framed as a massive transfer of wealth from the public to the financial class.
