Corporations as a legal entity have roots in Roman civil law, but they didn't take the form they have now until around the time of the Renaissance. The idea is that a corporation is a corpus, a body of people, acting as a sum of many individuals. And very importantly the corporation is legally distinct from its members.

What this means is that the individual employees, partners, shareholders, or investors in a corporate firm, are NOT equally liable for the firms losses. If I'm the sole owner of a muffler shop and it goes under I'm still on the hook for all the debt I took out to start it. If I own 1000 shares of Coca-Cola and it dissolved tomorrow, I'm out the value of my shares but not for a an equivalent fraction of the corporations outstanding liabilities. This makes corporations uniquely capable of bringing in investors since the risks are limited to only what you put in.

Chartered corporations go back to the days of the Dutch East India company, and continued into railroads, shipping lines, and even colonial settlement by firms. Basically a state would grant a firm a monopoly to do something its territory; the state got a hefty tax rate out of it while benefiting from the infrastructure and trade, and the corporation enjoyed no competition. Investors would then pile into what they assumed was a sure thing, and you have a a fully funded state-backed venture. At least theoretically. South Sea bubble and all that.

American cropland is the absolute gold standard, simply because everyone else has it way worse. Our bigass commodity crops of legumes and grains are produced by the plains, which gets surprisingly consistent rainfall, gets a bug killing hard frost every year, and enjoys a long growing season. Our fruit and nut harvest comes out of the west coast and south east. If you can afford American land to rent, I say do it, but figure out what actual agricultural landholders due to screen for good tenants. An easier way would be to invest in agricultural REITs, where you fund a farm landlord (gladstone land does fruits and nuts, FPI is commodity grains and beans). I like gladstone simply because they advertise exactly how many acre feet of banked water they have on hand. Alternatively if you have 10k USD, there are "sustainable and regenerative" agriculture loans you can fund with a pretty good rate of return.

I don't know shit about eastern europe except that its poised to be the flash point for the next few years and I'm shorting the fuck out of anything European. If you really want to "buy when there's blood in the streets" try to get exposure to Russian companies that build heavy equipment, because the first thing they want to do when Ukraine falls is get the grain terminals back online.

You missed his joke anon. Jackson killed the bank. If you're a real madman you hyper-inflate your currency deliberately and pay down all your debt for free since its denominated in now worthless dollars. Of course this immediately ruins any goodwill or trust anyone had for your nation's economy, so you'd be forced to trade in something internationally recognized.

Everyone knows - or should know - we're crashing. And hard. BTC should be expected to go straight down to 9000USDT.

TetherUSDT might unironically become insolvent.
I don't know how many crashes Tether can withstand without it breaking the bank. I'd even bet against its liquidity.
