That's right Mq. And it's interesting that TJ thought gold was a better investment than QUALCOMM and the invention of Mobile Cyberspace. How wrong he was. As wrong as it's possible to be. Not only was QUALCOMM a great investment, but check out the Consumer Surplus. The most vast and exponentially parabolicly asymptotic hyperbolic hyperbole ever. You and Warren Buffett were right. Gold just sits there. After 10 years or a million years, it's still just sitting there. A lump of gold. Unless it's stolen of course. Or lost at sea. In fact, gold is so last century. After you've invented the world's new unit of value [dopey bitcoin has now fallen out of favour with its weaknesses exposed] then even gold will be like those large stones with holes in them used as money = obsolete. The Yap islands. flockeo.com. The Yappers will be thrilled to adopt your new unit of value so that they no longer will their use of US$ involved them paying a royalty of 8% per year to USA by way of USA diluting the US$. More in recent years. Nobody wants to pay a royalty to use a unit of value. Unfortunately, nobody has yet invented a royalty-free unit of value. Bitcoin was an attempt but its bad design meant intrinsic inefficiency made it a bad attempt = slow, waste of energy, absurd inclusion of past transactions in a vast data string, vulnerable to interruption, theft, confiscation, loss of the secret code, theft of the secret code.

Re <<The way it's going, if the stupid USA succeeded in their absurd aim of making Russia weaker, skooshed, submissive and defeated, China would simply start driving trains, trucks, cars and aircraft across Russia, buying it up as they go, installing 20 million or 100 million spare people as they go, all the way to Eurostan.>> You can relax. ... observe that China actually likely deliberately wants to help Russia become stronger, as EU / UK / USA also making Russia stronger without intending to. I am sure, with China, EU, UK, and USA all working diligently, and with India doing same, Russia shall be stronger.
