You're lucky to even have enough fiat to be able to get Bitcoin. You live on a planet where 12,000 people starve to death every day.
Most people are oblivious to the fact that their outcomes have way more to do with luck than they care to admit.
I mean, congratulations on making one decision that worked out, but what of Bob invested in AI and got 10x the returns that Alice did?
Stack stats and stay humble, there's a reason that statement is so important.
Yes absolutely I agree with Bob. It's extremely easy to be judgemental in hindsight. What if years later Alice lost her ass because the US government changed capital gains on BTC, and it got regulated to near death?
Also maybe Alice isn't always open minded, but that day she was. Maybe Bob listened to people who are extremely trustworthy that happened to be wrong.
It's easy to be snobby when your decisions turned out to be correct, but none of this is written in stone.
20 years from now, people will say that I was just lucky, and I'll agree. Yes the information is readily available now, but I stumbled onto it by happenstance.
I'm certainly no genius, nor do I have any real insight, this shit has pretty much been spoon fed to me by greater minds.
People cry when their data is stolen and sold by corporations, not when they willingly give it to their peers.
So yes, I'm aware of exactly how much private information I just fed to the robots on the internet, and it's not anything they don't already know.
It you want to cuddle up in my hotel bed with me, I'll even drop you the address and room number if you're close, but you better make it quick, I hit the road in a couple hours.
Made it to Spokane WA. Last day of driving today and we're only 6 hours away from our destination, thank God.
Of all the 5 year olds I could have traveled with, I'm thankful it's my neice. She's a chatterbox but beyond that, she's been exceptionally well behaved. 26 hours in the car in 3 days and that kid is hanging in there like a champ.
