RE: The World of the Future - What Is Valuable?

in LeoFinance5 days ago

Land and food will always be valuable. However BTC can become worthless overnight. Cut power, the ISPs aren't providing access to the webz where you can pay or accept BTCs, and BTC has lost all it's value. You don't have to turn off the internet to do that to BTC, either. 'Them' can just censor it. Not tranmit information about it. Same result.

Otherwise, yep. Food is valuable. Fiat not so much. I don't get your hatred of real property. It's valuable because you can grow food on it. Because food is valuable, what you need to grow food is valuable.

Thanks!

Sort:  

Real estate, not real property.

But, you are probably talking about how i describe ownership of land in the future. And, similar to food not being for sale, but traded between growers, the land will be where you live, and not for sale. But, there may be trades between communities. However, i believe that there will be enough buffer around the small communities that trade of land will not happen very often.

And much more of the land will be usable. Land will simultaneously become to valuable to put a price on, and too cheap that no one would pay for it.

Land, real estate, clay, whatever word you want to use, is so valuable people die for it. A lot. When I said land was valuable because you needed it to grow food, I grossly underestimated it's value. It's where your kids are safe, where they can be born amongst their people. Our home clay is the font of all that is good and valuable to us. The homestead sense of home can only be on a steady foundation, and that is more valuable than life itself. When our property has such value to us, it isn't for sale - but it can be taken from us.

I know.

When we have raised our kids, and fed them from our land, it no longer has that deep and intrinsic value. Then we can sell it and move on. I seem unable to glimpse your vision of inviolability of land. I'm sure it makes sense to you, is coherent with your worldview. It's fully reasonable for different people to have disparate views of things, because we have different lives, different motivations, different reasons. I get it.
