If I was starting at 30, l'd buy #Bitcoin buy farmland, ignore 90% of the news, and build one simple business.

It's an excellent strategy at any age ๐งก
How would you be able to afford said bitcoin and farmland? Most 30 yr olds I know are hand to mouth..?
Move away from the city.
Find an area that's cheap to live, find work on farms.
Good advice if your parents or grandparents leave you some money. I would tweak it slightly:
If you buy farmland (or realestate, other assets) - don't own it. Borrow the maximum amount you can against it (and buy bitcoin.
Why?
During a collapse (slow or sudden), private property is vulnerable to governments and other bad actors. Immenent domain? Taxes quadrupled? Outright confiscation? (Its happening from South Africa to Venezuela). Now its not your problem - it is the bank's. You borrowed against the property, and your wealth is secure in bitcoin...you literally have nothing to lose when the state takes your land.
Also good advice for your house - squeeze as much equity out of it as you can and secure it forever in bitcoin. The lower the equity you have in your house, the lower your risk. Of you have paid off half your house, and all of a sudden you lose your job and can't pay the mortgage, the bank has every incentive to take it and sell it, as they will effectively get the house and all the equity. If you have no equity, all they get is the house, which is far less valuable if they can't also steal the equity - the bank will probably be inclined to lower your payments and do what they can to keep you in the house the less equity you have in it.
