It's the only asset in the world that you can prove lots of important things, from basic first principles: 1) how much of it exists and will exist, 2) that you actually own what you think you own, and 3) nobody can take it from you The

I just want to take issue with the first thing said in the post: > Disclaimer: I am not a doctor; even if I’m 100% right in my argument and you are 100% convinced by it, you shouldn’t listen to me over actual doctors; it’s a bad habit th
