money is illusionary. how do you know you have what you have? how do you know it is worth what you think it is? the value of money fluctuates.

i honestly see a time when money will be worthless and we will return to a barter system. because it brings it back to a personal level. the person with the goods decides what their value is to them and will trad that good away for something they need, or know they can trade for something they need. but that is a large gambol.

i prefer investing in assets then in cash. things that i know will be valuable to me for a while. things i can hang on to and trade a way if i need to. things not cash.

food is always valuable, because you cant keep it forever. you cant horde up oranges and pass them down for generations. not without land to plant in. olives and dates are true investment trees i understand. as well as some of the nut trees.
but i'm wandering from my point
which was that food is a perishable commodity and cant be horded like gold or silver or wood or iron or cash. as such it will always have great value
