it's easier to make money when you have some already to invest

2018-03-23 09:09:09 UTC  

they love strawmans

2018-03-23 09:10:01 UTC  

I mean, if you do have wealth, and you know that if you keep it in the form of currency it will lose value, what would you rather do with it?

2018-03-23 09:10:21 UTC  

i.e. much easier for rich people to become richer

2018-03-23 09:10:33 UTC  

than for poor people to become richer. Who'd a thunk it.

2018-03-23 09:10:41 UTC  

Gold only has a "perceived value" for the most part, but... its value has been fairly reliable over millennia.

2018-03-23 09:10:58 UTC  

If I had to invest money in something I knew would keep value, I'd probably go for weapons actually

2018-03-23 09:11:09 UTC  

As long as there's two humans on earth, there'll be a market for weapons.

2018-03-23 09:11:17 UTC  

Yes, you can invest, but now there's a risk of losing money.

2018-03-23 09:11:24 UTC  

Can you invest all of it?

2018-03-23 09:11:29 UTC  

Would you invest all of it?

2018-03-23 09:11:39 UTC  

I would probably invest in real estate

2018-03-23 09:11:53 UTC  

Worked for Trump.

2018-03-23 09:11:57 UTC  

I mean the prices seem to only go up

2018-03-23 09:12:05 UTC  

And you can rent it

2018-03-23 09:12:05 UTC  

Until the next bubble, that is.

2018-03-23 09:12:08 UTC  

unlike gold

2018-03-23 09:12:19 UTC  

bubbles are a very real risk in real estate

2018-03-23 09:12:24 UTC  

Real estate will go up until population declines.

2018-03-23 09:12:34 UTC  

china has one waiting to happen

2018-03-23 09:12:42 UTC  

AKA as long as we have immigration, real estate and agriculture grow in price.

Can you imagine if Elon Musk finds an asteroid made of gold? He'll make it to the history books as the first UN-sanctioned death penalty to save civilization.

2018-03-23 09:14:04 UTC  

How does he manage to make himself sound more pathetic with every tweet he makes?

2018-03-23 09:14:08 UTC  

i wonder what dusty thinks of secular talk

2018-03-23 09:14:21 UTC  

They are friends I think

2018-03-23 09:14:54 UTC  

How does a Gold asteroid helps anyone?

2018-03-23 09:14:57 UTC  

maybe it's me being an idiot, but I actually don't get why people hate conservatives so much. Even if you think they're literally killing the poor, they've agreed to play the game of politics so we can just vote them out

2018-03-23 09:15:07 UTC  

How would they even bring it back?

2018-03-23 09:15:11 UTC  

far left doesn't agree to the game of politics, they want the game of censorship.

Black Science Man keeps talking, the first trillionaire will be the one that finds an asteroid made out of gold or platinum. But truth is, the world's economy might not be able to handle all that. The value will crash faster than a dinosaur-killing asteroid.

2018-03-23 09:16:09 UTC  

Well, balck science man is no black economist man

2018-03-23 09:16:12 UTC  

Unless they can't actually bring it back to earth, in which case it's worth absolutely nothing

Of course, everyone ignores the amount of fuel to haul an asteroid around.

2018-03-23 09:16:55 UTC  

He is upset about the photo of Sargon with PJW

2018-03-23 09:16:58 UTC  

Even so, let's assume they get it back. How heavy is this asteroid we're talking about?

2018-03-23 09:17:20 UTC  

Let's assume it's either of pure gold or platinum, we'll figure out which later. How many kg we talking here?

2018-03-23 09:17:59 UTC  

probably thousands or millions of tons
