A veteran in the investment world recently shared a heavyweight opinion. This person is no small figure—82-year-old Jim Rogers, who co-founded Quantum Fund with George Soros and turned his money over 42 times in ten years. When someone of his stature speaks, the financial industry pays close attention.

Why listen to him? Because history speaks. In 2005, when the real estate market was still soaring wildly, while others followed the trend, he calmly predicted "this will collapse." Wall Street elites dismissed his forecast at the time, but three years later, the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis proved him right.

Now Rogers is issuing a warning again—by 2026, there will be two major hidden dangers in the financial system waiting to explode. One is the global debt bubble, which has gone wild after the pandemic, with countries printing money frantically; this bubble has reached a dangerous level. The other is the bubble in artificial intelligence driven by hot money, hiding serious risks behind its shiny surface.

What’s most interesting is that he specifically mentioned cryptocurrencies. Currently, hot money is flooding into this sector, and if global financial turmoil occurs, it could very well become a factor that worsens the crisis.

Hearing a "certainty" rather than a "possibility" from a legendary investor who has accurately predicted crises multiple times carries a different weight. There’s still time until 2026, but the countdown has definitely begun.
