People might be surprised to learn I invested over a billion dollars in precious metals because of a psychedelic ayahuasca ceremony in the jungle in 2023.

I would have made a lot more money had I invested when mother ayahuasca told me to. I waited a year and lost a lot. 

Real financial carnage is coming. Buy physical, as bad as it hurts to be illiquid and deal with the annoyances of storage. 

There are few life rafts. Very few.  Your money isn’t safe in the financial system and most assets (e.g. land, property, business ownership) will decline in value compared to gold and silver soon. 

More importantly, go drink ayahuasca. You’ll find a greater treasure not of this earth within
