Oddbean new post about login | logout Personally I like buying precious metals. Sure I can't spend it either but its nice having something physical and knowing no matter what it'll have some value.
Physical holdings will always stand the test of time. "Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money." I'm not proposing that we should ever go back to a time before currency, but I think it's worth remembering.
