Buffett's Advice: 3 warning signs of an impending crisis and how you should prepare?

For seven decades, I worked in my Omaha office, sipping cherry cola and repeating one truth like a mantra. I told you that cash is oxygen. I explained that you need a mountain of liquidity to sleep soundly. I argued that cash is the ammunition that allows you to attack when fear paralyzes the markets. And for 70 years, this strategy was foolproof. It's the foundation upon which I built the power of Berkshire Hathaway. It's the reason we still exist while others have sunk. But today, standing on the threshold of 2026, looking at world finances devastated by gigantic debt and central banks' overheated printing presses, I must look you in the eye and issue a warning that shatters old-school investment rules. Don't forget to click like and subscribe on the screen. The warning is this: in the era we are entering, cash is no longer oxygen; it has become carbon monoxide. Think about it. Carbon monoxide has no smell, no color, it's invisible, and looks exactly like the air you breathe. You feel safe inhaling it. You are comfortable, you don't notice the danger, but it slowly, quietly, and mercilessly displaces the life-giving oxygen from your blood, dulls your vigilance, and if you don't react in time, it will kill you in your sleep. That is exactly what the dollar, euro, and yen are today. You check your bank account, the numbers match, the balance hasn't dropped—the bank might even be paying you 4 or 5% interest now. Your brain, trained by years of financial stability, says, "It's fine, capital is working, I'm safe." But this is a great illusion of money. You look at the nominal value while ignoring the math. If the bank gives you 5%, but the real cost of living—not the government tables, but the real prices of meat, insurance, housing, tuition, and electricity—rises by 10%, what is your real profit? -5% is not saving; it's slow bleeding. Every year you keep that money in a safe bank is a mathematical guarantee of becoming 5% poorer. In 10 years, you will lose half the fruits of your labor, half the hours spent away from your family, half your sacrifices. In
