The great wall of china was no hedge. You will be ruled by barbarians and you will love it while pointing at your hedge thinking it did its job. Barbarians are sappers who dont throw themselves at death by attacking defended hedges. They subvert them right from under you and slowly sink the foundations of your hedge so their snipers can headshot you at will. The best hedge is logistics. Shepherding of people and goods and hard assets to and fro. That includes overland and oversea. The sea includes the internet and the shallow and deep waters of the cultural subconscious. Moving the money creates more value in the money. Moving the people with the money creates more value in the money. Moving the people with the money on a schedule that can be counted upon secures faith in the system that creates value in the money. Faith makes money go around. Even if its just backed by the word of Fat Tony driving a fiat while his wife and kids drive alfa romeos all secured by your job and financed by your credit. You gotta hand it to the big guy. He always gets his cut. Be it the 10% tithe or his biweekly short crop. Thats probably why they call him Caesar. Like all bastards that are born from the doctors cut and not from their mothers cunt. Too big to be born by act of god. Our giants are made by act of man. Yet they are afraid of heights. While we can climb over their fallen corpses. The word templar means temporal, as in worldly, secular, profane. The word free means you are not a ward of the court and therefore not under the jurisdiction of the law. You are not free to be many things in the world because of dues and entitlements. But you are free to be anything as long as you put the word free in front of it. And put it in writing. With your name. Like the founding fathers did. They created their own charter. Sealed their fate. Cut themselves off. Made themselves outlaws. Barbarians, pirates, freebooters... bastards. They called no man father. So they had nobody to ask permission. They just did it. You dont need to be entitled when you are empowered. Just ask Pompey. But in his native accent. What happened when the Emperor died. And Fat Tony took over with his army of veterans and hoors. In his tongue the name Pompey sounds the same as Pope. And even the most pompous will have to kiss the new Caesar when he gives the other cheek. BTW... What common sense leads us to believe is a hedge has already been turned into a giant hollowed out illusion built out of layers and layers of finely plastered paper mache like the ones built for all the previous worlds fairs that fall apart if you look at them too much. The worlds fairs have been examples of the hedge right before its about to collapse. The collapse allows the cover up to happen while everyone is busy protecting their assets and building a hedge. But everyone whose built a hedge knows that hedges are for show. Instead of building hedges build logistics. The long railroad. All the live long day. They once got on the train to go. Now the saints gonna strike back. Hitler made the trains run on time. Worshipping the black sun of saturn. Moloch, the devourer of his children. Its all math. What number do you want to be in. When the saints come marching in. If you still dont have a clue. Strawberries do not have to be planted the way they are. Strawberries grow better and sweeter and healthier and easier vertically on trees. Same as cotton. But you can't have gods without slaves. And gods like castle walls to protect them against their own existential dread that is all in their heads. Dont mind me, im just a degenerate dwarf lover gambling away my god given mana hanging out with them in the catacombs playing their magical games and learning their magical ways.
Well that's just it isnt it. Its it, what is it? Its the real thing. Its epic, its harder than the N word. Like the may queen thats coming soon to a theater of war near you. So if you got a shrubbery in your hedgerow dont worry about your hedges. Pay attention to whats in the bush.
of course i know nothing but will opine nontheless real estate is a little scary to me unless you are in long term feel like a lot of people are going to have to cash in as the market turns so not much of a gain since real estate takes longer to recover crypto scares me as well since i know governments hate it and have shown they can fuck w it although i remember you suggesting ETH-USD around 1.5k and it now trades over 3k so i hope you listened to your own advice i think cash is the underestimated king like it usually is when no one has any been trippin back and forth like everyone but feel like i'm just going to let this shit blow by instead of doing something rash looking to pick up real estate when it inevitably pulls back and not panic
I don't know anything either... I'm generally in everything long term. I don't have the time/energy/ambition to follow anything but Macro trends. I've been long on crypto for quite a while, both BTC and ETH. I've done pretty well, but wish I'd bought more and earlier, but that's how it always is, no? I also bought some property in Texas earlier this year--we live there part time now as we both have ailing parents that live there. That's been more of a family decision than an investment. But who's to say if this recession and inflationary period will look like previous ones. These are very unusual times.
Ha ha. Uncle Fester. Always disliked that arrogant bitch. Over rated dwarf. Never saw the Fresh Prince...Never knew a "song" he did, either. I had always put him in the Bill Cosby category during my life, another TV show I never saw...not once. Never liked that mofo either. Give me Richard Pryor I was too busy doing other shit...know what I mean ? Btw, just heard that CA is probably passing a bill that will allow illegal immigrants to become cops...wtf ?
