The one advantage of being the retard, is you can go through life ignorant of the ebbs and flows around you. If the world plods on and you live like that, you will probably be very happy lol.

It seems only when a major shift comes that it would be beneficial to be a little more observant and considered.

"Ignorance is bliss"

Until it isn't.

They used to teach oldschool typists, shorthand. Basically remove all but the first vowel.

My stepdaughter had that. Various other complications over time meant having one of her ovaries and tubes removed too.

She was only young and really depressed thinking kids would be off the table for her.

Wife and I decided to stump up cash for IVF. Before that started, she got pregnant with my granddaughter. A year after that twins.

No idea why I shared that. Maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't.

Was out at a friends retirement do a few weeks ago. A few people sat on a table near us at one point were talking about houses, and one of them said "I don't know what else will do better. Maybe bitcoin"

I didn't join in. But to the point about normal people recognising potential, it is definitely happening. No idea if he already owned some, I didn't engage.

Agreed. The only other person I know IRL with bitcoin has lass than 1.

He's chuffed to bits with it. When he used to say he couldn't afford it, I told him to do the daily buys with small amounts. Just automate it and forget about it until pay day when you top it back up.

The crazy thing is that nobody actually stopped to wonder what "America first" actually looked like. They just intuitively thought "yeh, that sounds good" and hit the button 😂

Too many options for what I had from forst words lol

As much as I love my American cousins, I have to say I am way better off in respect to taxation here than some Americans we met on holiday.

We had a good laugh about it though 😂

Now, while I have triggered some, I will add, all things given, America is probably a more desirable place for me to live, but it ain't for the tax regime lmao.

I only explain if they ask. What they usually ask is "Should I buy XRP?" 😂
