I’m thinking this is why u buy and self custody hard assets more for ur last name than ur first name🤔…the financial powers that be can control things/prices until they can’t😳 …when the plebs are willing to circumvent the system (accept/have a preference for BTC or precious metals over usd/fiat for settlement) the paper losses (shorting/manipulating scarce assets) for the too big to fail guys start mattering 🤡🌎 …I’m an idgit and wrong about a lot but I figured 10 years ago I’d like to store all wealth not necessary for future survival in non fiat assets (the thinking goes that anything that could be taken from u in a divorce (wealth on paper) can be taken by the “stakeholders”…ie “great takening”…altho i was unaware of the term great takening until very recently )🤦🏽‍♂️🤯 …I’ve still have not seen anything to change my mind🤷🏽‍♂️ …any thoughts on why/where I’m wrong?

I agree. That's why I'm buying a house, more land, and more of the things I've noted in this article ( ) I have to write more on this but based on what I've researched, I don't see how they don't rug most people with a Great Taking type event in the next few years (e.g. 5-7). Maybe I'm a doomer, but a Great Taking type event is already legal in every country in the world. Legalizing it took a lot of resources over many decades. So they can definitely rug, the question is when. Maybe I'd outperform if I just kept all my money in a brokerage account, but it's akin to picking up pennies in front of a steamroller.
