That does help a lot to know that the risk has been very low but does exist. Open source for security sounds like a good idea, but I’m non-technical so I might be wrong. At least the transparency of that is something that I value a lot.
I’d still be interested to know if you would only invest in US bonds. With China likely eclipsing the US in our lifetime, and these things not always going down without a literal fight, that might make US bonds more risky than the market currently thinks, meriting a more diverse bond backing.
Absolutely, on my short-term agenda is a research piece comparing the returns to different countries’ historical bond returns. I’m thinking of limiting it to just OECD countries (or some other criteria of developed-ness?), and that would also function as a basis for figuring out which countries’ bonds would be a good bet.
