No matter what I said prior, did not matter. It was Joes Treasury Secretary's statement about taxing unrealized capital gains. Only crazy people actually say things like this, whether or not it happens. He got that. Then I showed him a picture of the health secretary, and he just looked and said.... maybe I should have listened to you (fake chuckle).

Those are fair criticisms and I didn't come here to market crypto as a 100% purely safe investment.
Isn't that what the U.S. dollar is? It's just a fiat piece of paper printed by a private, internationally owned banking cartel. The paper itself is worthless. the value is only "perceived." It's merely a medium of currency or a medium of exchange.
I agree with brass, lead, gold, ammo, food, land having real value. But they can all be easily taken from you too. It's hard to travel with gold, brass, lead, ammo. Your land can be stolen from you the year you don't pay property taxes or the government wants to use eminent domain or condemn the property and then confiscate it. It happens in my county all the time. My city condemned land, forced hundreds of people to move, then years later sold the land to a real estate developer with political connections for a huge profit. They just condemned commercial real estate, lowballed the owners, forced them out just to build welfare offices on the land instead.
There's safe ways of saving your keys to crypto.
Why are you associating crypto with hipsters? Or calling me one? I hate hipsters as much as you do.
Why can't you and I just develop our own currency? Why must we be enslaved to the Federal Reserve? Am I supposed to bring a gold nugget, a hammer and a chisel every time I want to buy a lamb chop from your farm?
Buy bitcoin, When it goes up to 75,000-100,000 use it as collateral to buy yourself more land. You didn’t sell your btc so it’s not a taxable event. Write off the interest on your loan. While you are paying off the loans, your land and bitcoin will go up in value. For me land is the most valuable asset, I’m using btc as a way to get more of it. We are trying to help you.
