I'll start. I think, based on North Korea's Great Currency Obliteration of 2009, North Korea will either melt down, or come darned close. I realize that's a bit of a bold bet and it may be foolish to gamble my reputation, but I really think this currency revaluation may prove to be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. So some day we will Look back to that crisp autumn day when I made my bold prediction, and I shall baduk* in that glory (as I did for a short while about the Stupogants and them actually having gone into North Korea of their own accord).
So, anyway, what do you predict for 2010?
* A reference to scatter-shot predictor of doom baduk in regards to Hwang Woosuk's fakery.
If a famine didn't do it, I don't think wiping out savings will. North Korea will last another twelve months.
