it is frustrating as someone who knows a few things about finance to see naïve comparisons between personal property and private property. you have an apartment, or if you're really lucky a condo or a house, with stuff in it, that has value. maybe you have anxieties about the government taking that stuff. but *none* of that stuff can be turned into a financial instrument where you can weaponize public ignorance about dilution rules and debt seniority to foist your bad debt onto meme stock dupes
