suck this bastards! if they rlly think im so dumb to follow their links for a scamshit, they will fucking die from schizo
we don’t need your shitcon when we have the upcoming graphene airdrop, lol. the only legit way to get graphene is the distribution

holy fuck gravelcoin was the make it play all along

qrd anon. Sand still isn't priced in

>>30336476
Wait, these guys aren't sand mafia, are they? Because they look like sand mafia

>>30336451
We'll use manufactured sand (crush rock, run it through a sieve and wash it). Invest in mining equipment companies maybe ? Concrete construction will definetly become more expensive and even more dependent on oil price.

>>30336451
Nigger have you heard of the beach? Or the saharan desert???

>>30336451
Just go to the beach bruh

>>30336717
Here comes Dunning Kruger.
>beach sand
inform yourself
>saharan desert
sand is too round. the wind has ground it's edges off, no good for concrete.

>>30336717
Why can't we just take sand from the desert and put it on the beaches

>>30336717
we want alluvial sand and we’ve already destroyed river deltas worldwide to get it

>>30336811

>sand is too round. the wind has ground it's edges off, no good for concrete.
Actually informative post, thanks.

>>30336811
look up glass grinding to make sand. what about that.

>>30336662
Most of that development with be the urbanization of third world shitholes. Currently, 58% of the demand is China.

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

>>30336944
The world doesn't care what you like.

OP, here. Welcome back and to those of you who have just tubed in, thanks for joining us. Today on /biz/ we are discussing the sand shortage and the impact demand has has on climate resilience in coastal areas. But sand mafias and overpopulation issues aside, let's get down to what the /biz/ audience really wants to know: is sand the new gold? Is it time to start filling those sand bags?

>>30336893
Glass is even more expensive though and its high surface energy could mean it doesn't bind as well

>>30336893
There's a billion ways to make sand, that is not the problem as I said here. >>30336662 The problem is price/energy/water. You need to crush rock (energy), sift it (energy) and wash it (water) since the fines weaken the concrete. Depending on how much water is available, the water needs to be recycled (more energy). Manufactured sand and aggregates are already used extensively including recycled concrete etc (except sand, no recycling that) in cases where the transport of sand to the concrete mixing site is more expensive. Today it's all dictated by oil price. Of course these machines could run electric, but that makes the whole operation less mobile and needs HUGE amounts of electricity.

Oh nooo
Wee neeed more concreeeeeeeeeete
How should we build our wonderful silos full of humans without concreeeeeete
People would have to live in decently sized houses waaaaaahhhhbh
We need to stack more people
NOT OUR CONCREEEEEEEETE
>everything you need to build good houses is wood, dirt and something for the roof

>>30336811
you can just use a sieve with square mesh to filter out the round sand retard

JP Morgan invents an entire financial sector requiring billions per year to sustain for the sole purpose of shorting and suppressing the price of sand.
2040 will be the year of the great sand short squeeze

>"rate my sandcastle /biz/"

>>30337092
What are foundations, idiot ? Sure you can use fucking rocks, but trust me. No matter how you twist and turn it, without cheap sand construction will become quite a bit more expensive. Especially high rise stuff. Want to know what that means ? Cityfags will leave and the countryside gets shit up.

>UNEP has previously warned of thriving "sand mafias," with groups comprising of builders, dealers and businessmen known to be operating in countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam, Kenya and Sierra Leone. Activists working to shine a light on their activities, UNEP said, are being threatened and even killed.

This is just propaganda to justify a Mars migration for its only commodity

how do i invest in sand?

>>30336451

>>30339212
I invested in fracking sand once. Got thoroughly fracked.

The economics of interplanetary commerce are such that bulk materials like sand are never, ever, ever going to be traded. It's just not cost effective. Even if sand was worth more than iron it wouldn't be cost effective. Sand would have to be more expensive than It's weight in gold to make the sand mines of Mars a thing. Information is obviously the cheapest (because you can just transmit it back for basically free), but for everything else it's just a function of launch costs versus cost density.

India seems good to watch because they are second behind China and likely will be growing in consumption demand afaik
