I don’t trust crypto either. My wealth and focus are entirely wrapped up in business ventures which are inflation resistant.

Also, the US is not the country it used to be so past performance shouldn’t be as indicative of future performance. Particularly the Nixon depegging (Nixon shock) from gold substantially changed the character of the market and the US economy. It takes a long time for the effects to be felt in full and it’s my position that a lot of the current problems originate from that event.

From an outsider to the US the US does not look stable, quite the opposite. It’s not even an old government.

You're lying to yourself when you say you don't trust government.

Your wealth and business ventures are secured by the rule of law --- aka government.

It's a right wing mind virus that entices people to express distrust in government --- as they trust government with everything they do --- and vote for those actively trying to destroy the same trust.


If it makes you feel any better I used to trust the government, I did military software and was quite jingoistic. Peace through superior firepower etc. I figured ‘of course the government is good, people like me are working for them’. Then I got a good look at the realities from the inside, figured they were going to crush the middle class and that if I wished to escape that fate I would have to exit the middle class asap.
