So, you think the enemy (your word, not mine. A foolish choice of word), would only target Australia because Australia has submarines.

The enemy (your word, not mine) could target Australia regardless.

Indoctrinated? Like school texts of Xi Jinping thought, whilst we were all reading Winnie the Pooh as children. Oh, I see your point.

I lose.

You are a smart man, Pugwash \
we all know what is Winnie the Pooh for
I trust in you

Which is good, because sending our subs to arctic ice sheet could be very unpleasant.
Very cold there I was told, water is - 70 Celsius cold

Water is at its densest at approximately 4 degrees C. Colder water than that tends to rise to the surface and eventually freezes if it gets cold enough. There is not usually water colder than 0 C anywhere in the ocean. The freezing point can be lowered below 0 with increased pressure or additives, but that doesn't happen in the ocean.

Ahh, technicality. Yes, frozen water is still water. Looking back you mention "arctic ice sheet" in separate sentence, close enough to deceive the unwary into distinguishing the following "water" as liquid.

Money printing machine under complete control

m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=136077071994530&id=1048270117&sfnsn=scwspwa

What the world needs is a money that no central or reserve bank nor government can control, that can't be used to print money as a temporary solution; kick the can further down the road past the next election.

A money with a fixed, unchangeable supply, where everyone is their own bank.

[cough bitcoin cough]

But it's not backed by anyone or anything!

Exactly!

The problem with bitcoin is its not an easy medium of exchange (yet), central banks dont want to lose the $ as the medium of exchange, as they can just print more when needed. Bitcoin also relies on energy to access it.
What about precious metal, gold and silver?...unless govt make it illegal to hold G&S as was the case I think before the 1970's in the US.

Yeh think ya right japie.

Crypto-Trading Hamster Has Quietly Outperformed Warren Buffett For Months

In case anyone needed a quick reminder about the ridiculous state of modern-day investing, allow us to introduce you to Mr Goxx. Despite his rather proper name, Mr Goxx isn't even a human being. he's a goddamn hamster based in Germany who has been independently "trading" cryptocurrency since June 12th to a certain degree of success. In fact, given the 24% return on his entire portfolio as of last Friday, Mr Goxx the hamster has actually been outperforming both legendary investor Warren Buffett as well as the S&P 500 across the same period.The question on everyone's lips right about now is, "How can a literal rodent be running laps around the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway?" As much as it may break your heart to hear, no - this isn't a Flowers For Algernon situation, nor a borderline uncomfortable instance of a furry, human-like friend who gets picked for adoption over actual children in an orphanage and speaks with Michael J. Fox's voice. It all comes down to a tongue-in-cheek bit of innovation from Mr Goxx's unidentified caretaker/business partner dubbed the "Goxx Boxx."

Look who is driving it.

It will fail. Look who is driving bitcoin!!!

In a short time frame, this decentralised currency has gained astounding relevance. The next generation are voting with their feet. Can't you see that?

Decentralised currency is the future of money.

Decentralised maybe - but highly centralised in overall control by the big banks eventually.

I hope you are right. I don't think you appreciate their clout though.

Look at the history. If your great grandfather was told that precious metal would have no relevance in the value of currency he'd have scoffed at the notion. I don't know how old you are but I recall the declaration on R1:00 notes promising to pay the bearer on demand it's value in gold.

Central bank owners have increased their power base through their control of money to the extent that they basically control the world.

And their aim is to have ultimate control as Augustin Carsens articulated.

On 01/02/2000 The ASX (AU200) was around $3,000.

22 years later it is at $7,000
It would be reasonable to expect it might be at $6,000 in 2025.
25 years to double.

At what point was the ASX ever a buy???

Its 20 year return is just barely above inflation. The ASX is terrible investment. You could have picked a basket of anything else, and done better. Anything.

You would have made more in cash, by not investing at all.

Sorry got to call this out. Your statements are factuially incorrect.

You are ignoring income derived from investments (Dividends)

The S&P/ASX 200 index has been one of the best ways to invest and grow your wealth in Australia. With long term returns of about 9.5% per year including market growth and dividends.
