What’s a better investment in the event that we run into Venezuela tier inflation in USA? Bitcoin? Or a 3D printer to produce products that I can barter with? Already have PM, guns, and ammo.

Good, like-minded neighbors.
Lincoln Powell
Got some of those too

Learn a trade that can be exercised with local inputs. Something that would justify keeping you alive.
Aiden Phillips
I mean, thanks, but you’re not answering my question. I’m already an EMT, so I figure that skill and knowledge set will come in handy. Also starting to teach myself how to code.
Jason Nelson
Maybe I could print casts and splints for people?
Logan Miller
If it ever gets so bad that you need to barter with objects instead of money you won't have electricity to run your 3D printer.
Jacob Stewart
Generator and/or solar panels + power wall
Daniel Rivera
I'm not sure what else would you need.
Maybe some months of supplies, including drinking and for other uses water.
Depending on where you live, one week should suffice, because in a big city, one week without water wouldn't be pretty. Keep gas to fill your tank stored somewhere, if this is allowed in your city and you own a car.
Propane for cooking would also be good.
Basically, what FEMA would recommend for an emergency that last over more than a few days; you don't need to go full prepper.
Nathan Morgan
Get those before you think about a 3D printer.
Isaiah Ward
Okay so 3D printer would be the better investment with my trumpbux instead of bitcoin then right?
Jose Hughes
Bic lighters, 9mm, and condoms.
Robert Sullivan
consider you won't have internet and there won't be a blockchain accessible by other people
Juan Myers
It depends on how soon you think there will be hyperinflation\crisis
if its a year away and BTC moons in a month how will you feel with a printer instead?
Dylan Wright
Property, stocks to an extent, Bitcoin is still a big ? but couldn't hurt compared to cash
Luis Diaz
>he took the bic pill
baste

At least diversify into a single btc. That covers the entire crypto exposure.
Hyperinflation implies total collapse so
your own food supply - MREs, a garden, backyard chickens is as useful as any asset and they barely cost anything.

3D PRINTING IS A MEME. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO PRINT? ACTION FIGURES? CHESS SET? A BAG CLIP TO KEEP YOUR BREAD FRESH? OOOO LOOK I MADE A DICE ROLLER OR A NERF GUN ACCESSORY OR A PHONE HOLDER... ITS ALL USELESS SHIT
Benjamin Thompson
Check a list made by the Mormons for what you need to prep. As far as investments go, things people would need. Buy fish antibiotics, various types for gram positive and negative bacteria. They're the same as human antibiotics. Not sure you want to arm strangers in your area so I wouldn't sell guns or ammo to anyone local, but I would keep extra for friends and family. Vice stuff, like coffee, cigarettes, liquor. Extra dried food. Things for preserving meat, like salt or canning supplies.
Charles Long
i could print medical equipment. Braces, splints, crutch handles, cervical collars, etc.
Bentley Bell
Meant for
Cooper Collins
That will never happen. It’s a toy. It won’t make anything that you can sell.
Benjamin Collins
YES RETARD IF WE GO TO WAR WITH CHINA A MACHINE THAT MAKES CHEAP PLASTIC JUNK IS LIKE HAVING A LITTLE PIECE OF CHINA AT HOME, BAG CLIPS DON'T MATERIALIZE FROM THIN AIR.
Lincoln Turner
Why would that never happen?
Lucas Ross
there's a dude who made a 3d printer that's solar powered and uses sand to make clay pots and shit
Christopher Mitchell
>lighters
based and oneyearinhell-pilled
Cameron Bailey
traditional means of making clay pots is probably 10 times faster than printing them and won't consume electricity
also i think the world has enough plastic buckets to last us through the apocalypse
Liam Reed
Eh dyor dude but I don’t even know where to start.
You gonna stock up on belts, extruders, FILAMENT, stepper motors, controllers, psu, you ready to know how to service it when it breaks? You know cad? Medical equipment? Custom fit? Better be really fucking good at CAD then. Oops you messed up that brace you spent 73 hours printing and it’s trash and you just burned through a $40 roll of filament on that one print.
Evan Davis
what is that? a cleaver for giants?
Jaxon Clark
There are plenty of ways to make money with a 3D printer. Almost none of them involve printing and selling an object.
Parker Wood
you are so fucking wrong
the point of a 3d printer is rapid prototyping, you can conceptualize a thing and then that thing is in your hands an hour later. you can use it to make molds and cast things out of sturdier materials or use it to quickly iterate on new ideas without spending resources on machining or injection molding

Chase Bennett
Wow no shit fucktard. But read what OP is saying. He wants to make medical equipment with shitty plastic and sell it.
Andrew Butler
Oh and an HOUR later hahahahaha. You’re clueless dude

Don't just buy a 3D printer, we're past that now.

This is like 17in long. It literally took 4-5 days to print on a $5k makerbot (which are incredibly shitty but it’s not mine it’s my employers)
Jack Harris
I think you're looking for /x/, where schizos like you belong.
