   @antares right now I'd guess diversified portfolio (currencies, gold, crypto, stocks) and no real estate or government bonds

     @harblinger @antares @shmibs yeah you're right you could see them as assets, but they aren't generally appreciating assets, which is what you want for retirement

     @lain @antares @shmibs gotta disagree a bit, asset defined as something that has value that you legally own (just pulled it out of my butt) -- a library would be equivalent to a portfolio of stocksthere are even special retirement accounts that can be setup to hold collectible assets (like rare books or art... bitcoin, nfts), but yeah it's definitely "non-standard"

     @harblinger @antares @shmibs books aren't assets so they're not useful for saving for retirement

     @lain @antares @harblinger i think it's just something old books sellers do whenever something is public domain and out of print now because people buy them to sell zero-effort modern editions on amazo

     @shmibs @antares @harblinger if you can reliably buy the books that appreciate this much, that's a good retirement plan (but then you'd be an evil speculator)

     @shmibs @antares @harblinger I mean, you can put up a book for any price, the question is if there are buyers
