As for breaking even, the security is highly liquid and can be sold at any time to recover one’s capital.

Ok, and how about no more cap gains exclusion on selling primary residence and no more writing off mortgage interest (USA)?

Seatbelts weren’t a thing in the first cars. People weren’t thinking long-term about how fast these things might one day go.

He’s great. I used his Money (for managing money values as cents in the db), Liquid and DelayedJob in a bunch of projects.

Now I run my own Shopify store, selling my software.

> except by mistake

No small threat; plenty of room for those, according to Daniel Ellsberg’s book ”The Doomsday Machine”.

> one of the most unstable times in history

I can think of far more unstable times in history than the times we’re living in now, recent examples being WW1 & 2, nuclear threat during the Cold War.

I wire-transfer tens-of-thousands of USD / month from my bank to my wealth-management company for perfectly valid reasons (e-commerce revenue), primarily to exchange to CAD (far better rate than bank) for funding payroll and/or purchase Investments.

With each transfer, my investment company has me fill-out / sign a form declaring Source of Funds.

If the gov’t finds anything suspicious, there’s an airtight paper-trail for all these transactions.

Nothing to see here.
