Closing the Strait of Hormuz means restricting 1/5 of the world's oil.

This is going to be worse than the Ukraine war isn't it.

Noo Trump is rugpulling us
Oil is dumping

I Bought $250,000 Worth of Physical Nickels

No, that’s not a typo.

That’s 5 million coins. 55,000 pounds of American metal stacked in boxes from a local bank vault — an asset the government literally can’t print anymore.

Most people would call it insane.
But let me explain the thesis.

Each U.S. nickel is made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, weighing 5 grams. That means every $1 million in face value equals roughly 100,000 pounds of metal.

At current metal spot prices, the melt value of a modern nickel sits around $0.043 – $0.047, depending on commodity fluctuations — or roughly 90–95% of face value. That means the U.S. Mint loses money on every coin it produces. They’ve tried to change the composition for years, but Congress hasn’t approved it yet.

So what happens when they finally do?
The old “real” nickels become the last batch of government-issued coins containing significant industrial metal. When that happens, they’ll vanish from circulation overnight — just like the 90% silver coins did after 1964. Those who held them saw a 10–15× nominal gain over the following decades as melt value outpaced inflation.

My $250,000 position, therefore, isn’t a “trade.”

It’s an asymmetrical bet that the U.S. Mint will eventually debase the coinage again, that metal scarcity and inflation will continue to erode the dollar, and that a bag of nickels will one day be worth more dead than alive.

Worst case? I still have $250,000 in legal-tender coins backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

Best case? The melt value doubles, triples, or gets banned outright — which would make the existing supply finite and far more valuable to collectors and contrarians alike.

It’s not crypto, it’s not stocks, it’s not even silver.

It’s 5 million tiny claims on an industrial commodity the government accidentally subsidizes.

That’s deep value.

That’s the Nickel Standard.

I was born and raised in the northern portion of North America, my father built and operated a reasonably remote Eco tourism and wilderness sightseeing lodge that was successful and thriving during the golden years of the 90s and early two thousands. He had that opportunity because he had a good relationship with the rich Eastern coast guy who shared similar interests, But that guy also became very old and passed away over a decade ago at this point, and due to the economic conditions of the 2008 era the lodge was forced to close and the property has remained unused since then. My father originally leased the property, And the family owners have been trying to sell it for about 15 years now. Due to their inability to provide upkeep funds and the remote nature of the area it has started to become overgrown, and despite numerous price drops nobody has purchased it yet. It's roughly a 170 acres with lots of riverfront waterfront area, and they are bringing the price down to 200k [from original 1M over the years] for a bid situation at the end of this month.

I do not have the money to purchase it outright myself, but I have intimate knowledge of the already existing infrastructure and area that you really couldn't find and pay for otherwise. I'm not asking for someone to buy it for me, but I'm trying to find someone who would appreciate that kind of safely remote set up along with someone knowledgeable and local to keep an eye on it when they are not around. A groundskeeper of sorts, or maybe just nice enough to let me buy the house that my dad built with two hands with a little parcel and keep an eye from there. Enough room for a private airstrip even, if you want easy access. It's a great property investment opportunity for somebody with more cash flow than me, but it's the kind of thing that Would overwhelm and confuse somebody who knew nothing about it walking into it for the first time.

didn't you?

who could've guessed the token which's supply is inflated 5x over 3 years would lose value?

i think i'll get some when we're at 90% supply though

Orangenigger-sama... I kneel.

If the war is over why is Iran still firing drones and missiles?

Does anyone know the next multi trillion dollar sector that the hot ball of everything bubble retail money will rotate into next, causing it to pump and dump like a tradeogre shitcoin? Thanks in advance.
