It maximizes your chances of protection from extreme volatility. Any instrument to be used for the transaction should hold some fundamental value, commodities such as oil(is used as fossil fuel), steel(is used in construction industries) or precious metals like gold, possess that fundamental value. The collateralized stablecoin, which means their value is attached to some asset like US dollar, provides them greater legitimacy, hence security.

But, yes beyond that, being a hoarder, whose sole purpose is to keep feeding bank accounts, is not necessary. Engage oneself in work that gives internal satisfaction is healthy and wise. Beyond money in life, what are some of the important things, according to me: 1) One’s relationship with oneself:   The most important thing, I always knew, I always read and heard, but not felt like now, ever before. You want to help people when you don’t know yourself, It’s not going to work. At least with your closest people and in life in general. You first need to sort yourself out and keep working at it.
