So, today I went to pay the taxes for the apartment we currently live in. I still like to do such things offline since...well, not all of it works online here. Not all the time and not without error, anyway. The point is...
...we pay the state for things we 'own'. There was this discussion a month or so ago about not owning it in full if you had to pay the state for it. But it's the state that currently guarantees it remains yours and it's the state that could change rules overnight and say you can't own what you own. Happened before. Nobody could have more than one of anything real-estate-like or mobile-property like. It was everybody's but more everybody's for those in control than anybody's everybody's.
I might want to invest a lot in property but I am always uncertain of the state's future intentions. Seeing how people would easily give up their constitutional rights...
I mean to be more pragmatic than just buying and hodling to something for the emotional satisfaction of it.
As I understand it, it's more important to use it. Rent it if I must but use it rather than leave it dissolve into oblivion. In my current situation, I am talking about both instances of land and business. There is such thing as more than the family can manage and that's because priorities have gone somewhere else than in the wealth at hand.
Two paths remaining — selling it which I am personally against or...
Those personally against learn to manage more of it and take responsibility.
The responsibility to use the sword of the grandfathers less it takes rust and falls apart. Aye, I shall use the sword analogy.
The sword is your capital. Whatever it is. It might be your tokens. They might just sit there and wait for the market to make them great again, as it was modern to say.If you are not using it to good effect, perhaps lend it to someone who will. If you don't own one but you want to use one, rent it.
The effect of it being used is what matters, what makes that capital valuable. That is how it begets more capital (it is another question in what form that additional wealth comes).
Put that sword to work, yes?
Also, Peace!
Yours,
Manol
