Robots run into the battery energy density problem that has been moving at a snails pace. Atlas from Boston dynamics has like a 1 hour battery life. Spot is around 90 minutes. Hard to have a robot construction worker when it will need 8 battery swaps per shift.

I think collecting coins will out perform collecting stocks over a 10 year. There will be exceptions in both cases where certain coins 10x and certain stocks 10x. Coins and I mean government backed limited minted might develop a collectible market that may out pace the sp500. Maybe now is a bad entry point but it does make me wonder. The underlying bullion will be the supporting factor of gold and silver.

JIRE has not only not "destroyed" the S&P since liberation day, it hasn't beat or even matched it.  It has underperformed it, and at arguably a higher risk. I'm not saying we can't be Monday morning quarterbacks to look back and not find any funds out of the thousands out there that beat the S&P.  Not sure why you picked one that didn't.  But far and wide, the "smart investors" running actual funds more often than not fail to actually beat the market.  Even if it's the no brainer you seem to imply here.  If everyone something is so obvious to everyone, it's priced in.  Negativity echo chamber blatantly ignores that machine learning is growing at an exponential pace and once developed will have a hand in almost every sector of the economy.  To get there we need some wild speculative investments where 1/10 works out.

Nah. Spending is inflation, and wage growth has not even remotely kept pace with inflation, unless you're talking specifically about CEO wage increases. The value of the USD is also getting hammered internationally. Traveling abroad is getting rough for most people. Edit: regarding the bullshit u/jerk2's spewed before blocking me, I have an MS in Quantitative Economics from NYU....but, yeah, I'm sure I'm the uneducated one here. Regarding the ignorance of their actual comment. Inflation is caused by two main factors: demand-pull and cost-push. Wage increases are only a small factor of each. The vastly larger factors are monetary and fiscal policies, and the even still larger contributing factors recently are supply chain issues and raw material costs. Further, wage growth typically lags inflation and is [much less uniform](https://www.stlouisfed.org/on-the-economy/2024/nov/regional-trends-inflation-nominal-wages) than inflation. Tldr: dipshits and their arrogant ignorance are the worst.

Bro what do you mean our leaders aren't doing anything? They're getting rich off it lol. You ever see "The Last Samurai", my guess is it'll be just like that and for pretty much the same reason, except not as cool and way more people will die. That era of Japanese history was super interesting, movie did a great job of capturing what happened when the Old world and the New collided at a rapid pace.

At this pace NBIS might reach 0 still today
