I have some extra money lying around in USD being slowly devoured by inflation. The conventional wisdom is to invest in stocks or bonds in the US. Fundamentally, that’s just gambling on the continued success of empire. Should I buy gold or other metals instead? Are there non-dollar-denominated ways to invest in economic development of the global south instead? I don’t care about returns I just want long-term stability of value
My strategy has been simply not having any assets or savings
Yes, this is my strategy too. It’s definitely a strategy, and not just a reflection of living near the poverty line.
