Maybe next time your friend goes all doom and gloom on you with no light at the end of the tunnel, why not provide one for him and say something along the lines of "yes it does seem like a lot of the old financial system is coming crumbling down, but there is a lot of talk of a new system ready to take over that is going to be much better"? If he doesnt think that is possible, he will probably just dismiss it and not inquire further. But if you pique his interest, maybe you will have the ability to at least point him in the right direction to see past the gloom.
I say this because I wasn't all that dissimilar to what you described, just months ago. I stumbled on the LOO looking through the doom and gloom and got "something out of it", to say the least.
