The West is in decline. Need only look at birth rates and debt levels to realise those countries are going to be going backwards in terms of quality of life for decades from now.
I think it’s better to be somewhere that is ascending and ride the wave.
There are trade offs no matter what, but do you want the lives of people around you to be improving or regressing?
You can have all the money in the world but if the society you live in is crumbling around you, you’re gonna have a bad time.
At some point money isn’t going to make you more secure and will in fact make you a target.
You can reason that a $5 wrench attack won’t happen to you because thieves can’t access your multisigged cold storage so why would they hurt you? Because “fuck you”, that’s why. Desperate people do desperate things, they will act irrationally, and if you’re surrounded by such desperation the odds of it affecting you go up exponentially.
Poverty and wealth is its own network effect; when everyone around you is poor you will get dragged down, when everyone around you is progressing in life your lot will rise also.
