    OK, champ. Let me be direct.

    I think there are better assets to hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty with if you’re not expecting an invasion.

    • What assets?
    • Why are they a better hedge than gold?
    • Can you explain their advantages in case of invasion and no invasion?
    • What are your qualifications and experience to offer financial advice?

      Bitcoin, it’s a better hedge because a known amount will be added to the supply (good supply is notoriously lumpy. A good mine might open on the other side of the world and lower the gold price). lighter weight if leaving a war torn country. Not financial advice.

        It’s also possible that people stop believing in the power of some arbitrary numbers and the shit obliterates itself.

        Not financial advice, but pretty solid theoretically.
