I call it saving and using.

Owning, hodling, buying, stacking.

But I don't consider it an investment because I'm not doing it so that I can generate a return.

I also wouldn't use the term investing for buying gold either

A tradition I guess, one can trade anywhere in the world (somehow complicated) but still a tradable item... I wouldn't pick it as primary but something to hang on to when many other assets fade.

It's not too late!

Water? 70% of the planet is water and I like to think we are smart enough by now to know how to use it. Maybe I'm wrong...

i especially worry about "eminent domain" being invoked over this as well

war continues to escalate, and to me it seems extremely likely we will get some sort of ww3, meaning every country is affected. it doesn't even need to get nuclear for extreme contamination to happen, and the fallout from this contamination will last years. might not happen everywhere, and certain places will be safer than others, but best be prepared. if it does get nuclear, every single country will feel it to varying degrees (if the planet is still in one piece).

obviously this is just my opinion. but look at what's going on in the middle east, and the various military groups of the world salivating at further escalation. it really seems like certain groups in power need this powder keg to come to a head before any real change can occur, as sad as that take may seem.
