      Please explain your thoughts, so we can’t fake it. I would love to know your superior mindset that says, don’t invest in America, China or Crypto, where is your money going. If it’s ok dollars, you attacked Gaza. You attacked Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Syria… And it goes on. Because the didn’t immediately bow. If you believe the U.S. Dollar should control everything, I would great fully tell you you are foolish. Not knowing is always for everyone. If you look into how the U.S. has used our currency to deflate value and hurt other countries… White attacking them through various ways, it will show you the U.S has wanted allies, they want interiors

        Nobody invests IN the US dollar though. A currency is not supposed to be an investment.

          It’s also pretty telling that all the crypto stuff is always measured in dollars. That said using usd does overall make money for the US by seigniorage.

            That’s what I always tell people. A bitcoin or etherium or dogecoin or whatever they have is essentially valueless because it can’t be exchanged easily for goods and services. 100% of it’s value is derived from how much real, useable money you can exchange it for and nothing else.

          currency investors do exist. i know a dude who had more money than god and thought “huh, well let’s see” and now has more money than two gods because the fuck is lucky.

          you look for arbitrage opportunities between different currencies. i can’t remember whether he just exchanges currency or buys futures or what. i think it’s foolish but like i said, this guy’s got more money than two gods so he’s gotten very very lucky with it.

            Huh? Who invests in a currency thinking it’ll go up in value? Most have inflation on purpose, your money is literally eaten away by “investing in” currency.

              I have lived in Soviet Union. In the end of SU I even as a 13 year old child bought USD, and earned money from that, when changed back after months.

              The same was done after getting independence. You bought Finnish marks bought USD or German marks and after few months changed back, because the economie of Finland didn’t had best days in the 90’s and USD rose in value.

              You literally make money with that.
