• If you can afford more than a small plot of land in this economy, you’ve probably been hoarding too much wealth. I know it’s a very popular hobby, but it’s quite bad for you if taken to excess. But this is getting somewhat off-topic.

        Some kind of technology that resembles today’s cryptocurrencies may or may not have a future. As they exist right now none of them are anything like a good investment opportunity or a safe store of value.

    • Unless you can defend that plot of land against a few of the largest superpowers combined… that land is only yours as long as your country wants to defend your ownership of it.

      Water is already not yours in most places, and supplies are not guaranteed to last. Education gets lost with age, amnesia, dementia, and death. A sturdy pair of boots rarely lasts as much as a single lifetime.
