the arc of the shitcoin is a learning tax i think for many, i walked away for years but thank god i came back and got smart(er).

my millionaire friend was giving this advice pre bitcoin and he was an accountant, but if he had just explained inflation or something, i could have started learning. i did read the confessions of an economic hitman back then. but i had never heard about Austrian economics etc

the funny thing about that dude is he was from Texas and never bought property and, ironically, in 2007 i was always asking wtf he didn't just pick something up (we were both expats and he was making 20k a month USD, paid apartment and paying 13% tax). i was like you could have one paid off in no time.

looking at what happened to property prices in texas, i bet he regrets that lol
