Oh yes, a friedman. Now that is instilling confidence.

According to the conventional wisdom of this blog, the euro would have ceased to exist around January first of this year.

Or perhaps it's not conventional wisdom, rather just made-up.

Get a grip. Do you really want do deny hyperbolic predictions of the end of the euro on this blog prior to christmas?

I don't know if anybody has made such predictions or not.  I'm questioning your assertion that it's conventional wisdom.  You could at least cite a few examples.
