Imagine sitting on a boat with a slow leak — eventually, it will sink. That’s what cash is today: losing value quietly over time.
Gold? Not immune. Every year ~2% more supply enters the market. Even gold leaks.
Your choices are clear:
Buy a business that creates value — an asset that grows and protects wealth.
Own something truly limited — scarcity is power.
The real question: will you keep sitting on a leaking boat, or step onto solid ground? 🚢⚓
There are clearly underlying issues, which is likely why the GST cut was announced—to spur the consumption cycle. It is often suggested that when removing someone from a position, a buffer or transition opportunity should be provided. Here, however, the government added capital taxes without such a buffer or replacement. Then, after six months, they reduced taxes for Indians earning up to ₹12 lakh, followed by a GST cut—which is good. Yet, the INR continues to depreciate, and that remains the main concern. This suggests deeper structural challenges globally.
We banned TikTok and maybe some “lemon” app (I swear, it vanished like vaporware). But despite all this, no Indian social media, no ad platform. Which is wild, because if India really wanted, it could spin up a social network overnight. The problem? Red tape. Opening a company here takes 30 days and 100 compliances—like bureaucracy was designed as a video game with only boss levels.
Investors still expect foreign companies to bring the work. Meanwhile, local folks could easily build for local needs—just look at the EPFO website. It’s stuck in a Y2K time capsule, like it’s waiting for dial-up internet to come back.
So before we “expand,” maybe we should fix and consolidate. Otherwise, it’s just us footing the bill, while others cash out.
Bears, I doubt your skills.
But what do we really get back for that tax? Infrastructure is often terrible — bad roads, poor sewage, unreliable transport. Compare with planned cities like Chandigarh or Gandhinagar: better layout, cleaner roads, functioning sewage, somewhat better services.
Then there’s inflation caused by money printing:
Suppose you have ₹100 in value, and the government prints so much money that the total money supply becomes ₹10,000. You now effectively own just 1% of the total value. If they print even more tomorrow, your share shrinks further. The value you worked for erodes just because of inflation.
Even worse — if we imagine a future where leaders like Trump, Modi, or old economic policymakers are gone, the people who remain could inherit cities and systems that are already broken. Without proper planning, accountability, or infrastructure, we could be left with horribly run cities, crumbling systems, and a cycle that keeps repeating.
Paying 18% tax on top of all this, while watching the value of your money erode and systems fail, feels like being forced to fund a system that doesn’t serve you — and the worst part is, the problems won’t just disappear with the current leaders.
