The thing is your entire post is about investment and making money or losing money...what does that have to do with p2p electronic currency and the democratization of money? Buy/hodl has converted the concept for electronic currency, i

As someone who was abducted and kidnapped at gun point, PTSD and trauma are experienced differently by different people. PTSD/trauma may be the result of being victimized, but it is not “learned” any more than a bone might “learn” to b

I personally have experienced NFT cartels first hand and would love to expose it. From pay to play propositions by a “NFT artist” that’s sold millions in NFTs for an invite to an invite only NFT marketplace, promises of $x/month in sa

I don’t disagree it amounts to answering a question, and it’s easy to say it’s not a burden. But on the ground it can be a tremendous burden, we are talking about people who may be avoiding calls because it’s creditors, we are talking about

Looks like everyone has already forgotten about the CARES act and how it was divided. $266B went to unemployment and $377B to small businesses, of course the law makers were going to end the program and force people back into low paying job

Maybe Elon could give Japan a insider tip before he pumps Doge again and everyone call it a day. In all seriousness though I think Japan has plenty to gain by acting as a global leader, it’s not all about money, and even if it were all abo

I’m just a tad more jaded and think had the reality been shown more, it would just have been spun by media to fit a desired narrative (i.e. what you’re seeing is normal, you’re just see it for the first time, and you should ask why you’re b

Well this was Miami, many jewelry stores you can’t even walk into but need to be buzzed in and I have seen on more than one occasion people not let in. This wasn’t one of those stores, but staff was more than accommodating, before purchasin

I happened to be in a mayor’s jewelry store about 12 years ago when I saw someone walk in and purchase a gold paper clip for about $300 (want to say it was designer too, maybe Cartier). Never forget he looked raggedy as hell, he was wearing

I had been eating paleo, so it’s fair to say I reduced sugar at that point. Minimizing sugar intake insulin spikes was probably the best step I could personally take, but none of the mental changes came from that. Then I incorporated kale,

I do get the feeling of an underlying crypto play marketed on the old brands AOL/Yahoo. I didn’t even think about something as simple meme stonk. It may sound like sarcasm and a joke, but look at the meme stonks or Doge ($11B+ market

It may not be fully digital, but I believe I ordered my last passport in person at a local post office. Obviously they also took on a much greater role in this past presidential election with the increase in mail in ballots.
