Some what valid... but
>with similar interests and presenting you and your knowledge in front of others is also a helpful
At a point they are just line towing normal fags with inquisitive nature, no drive to refine and when I went to college back in 2010 every single person in school I spoke to which was an engineering focused institution where active 'keep their head down extra proactively' because they where (or became) more concerned with towing the line. Only a single person I met would even entertain the discussions of science beyond the very narrow limits of predefinition, and even he was strictly insistent that we never speak in public about about any fringe science/engineering, even empirically backed and presented without theory as a mere anomaly. So even the college (Lit. in a league together) aspect I found mostly void.
The mutts lie, cheat, steal and fabricate credentials all the time, we can do far far better, both with actual education and also with 'accreditation from alternative institutions'. Long gone are the days to a singular monolithic institution, with the multiplicity of the modern age and digital age so many are the accreditors that it's easy to get lost in the noise, especially with actual excellence, skill, knowledge, or even just average white IQ. Honestly I just tell people I got a GED and a few certifications from a local community college or if I'm feeling extra truthfully playful from the Invisible College and not once have I been asked for proof, not even the state they where located in nor even their name. So just put when you want. Maybe you make a letter head and write a cover letter, if you really want you could go all out and make your own bond (file 4) but make it for like 100k or something more suited to the circumstance and reword it, get the stamp, multi color seals, signature, etc. All they really want is reassurance. But really if you made your own company it would be just about all the same as far as contracts, you gotta be able to do the work in the first place to a satisfactory level which requires knowledge and excellence.

Well ok, after addressing (what I saw at the primary substance of your complaint)

I'm not a particularly material person, but may you find this image useful. Again consider the invaluability of keeping any resources/wealth/value you plan on storing for >5 or 10 years in precious metals or honestly minerals/crystals can be a very good investment for keeping as well. Only keep liquid what you may need for the relative short term. That way the bulk of your store will be safe against market drift I MEAN INFLATION. As the ratio of Gold-vs-Silver varies and depending you would trade gold to silver or silver to gold.
>The Roman Empire officially set the ratio at 12:1.1 In medieval Europe, it fell to 9.4:1 in 1350 but climbed back to 12:1 in the 1450s.2 The U.S. government fixed the ratio at 15:1 with the Coinage Act of 1792. The long-run average gold/silver ratio is around 65:1 since the 1970s when the gold standard was abandoned. Historically, the ratio hovered more around 15:1.5 The highest the gold-silver ratio has been in recent history was in April of 2020, following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when the price of gold outpaced silver by more than 125:1.
A different approach is keep enough liquid to stack extra assets, then convert them to precious metals/minerals (maybe 33%) and reinvest them (another 33%). And keep in mind once you start getting into real estate or even movable property that is not hand held (including automobiles!), you should make a private/foreign grantor trust to hold the assets.

I give you my blessings, I do not have digital currency, just what I advocated for.
