So bitcoin, most of my friends, actually all of them think it’s a scam, and have actually told me I’m a fucking moron, lol, and if they didn’t, they gave me the knowing smile of ok, bob, like I just said there was a spaceship in the yard.all or most of them are over fifty as well so they barely have email, social media etc...most still watch cable.. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with talking about Seinfeld, or cheers, but it always amazes me about how instant the reaction is when I talk about cryptocurrency I point out, (to myself)how people refused to order online ten years ago, now, it’s all people do. The internet? What? Scam! Well I’m sure someone said that...I’m in full disclosure a Canadian, now why am I telling you that? Well because, if there is one thing I know about a Canadian is this! We are the most risk adverse people on the planet. If you were to tell a Canadian the land he or she is standing on and actually owns, is full of gold, there is no way in hell they would develop it...sure get a foreign company to extract it and maybe give that guy a job, then GO FOR it.but spend hard earned money on a obvious scam, forget it...Tim hortons sure, but invest in something I can’t see? Forget it bud. One Thing I know is this! Banks are a scam! They pay no interest, and fee us to death...and that are the good ones, most others, like Wells Fargo literally steal our money, does a thing about it...another thing I know that is a scam, is income taxes, so you tell me, I work six monthsto sleep or food to eat? Why is it I pay credit card bill, and they take three business days to clear it? However instant take out there fees? Blah blah blah...so interest rates are at zero, or close to and other countries are at negative interest rates..gm and ford etc are laying off workers like crazy, can’t sell cars with zero down and zero interest! Seems to me pension plans are distressed, cars aren’t selling, food is going up, bonds are tanking, retailers, like Sears, toys are us, are bought then gutted and sold off for scrap?.so leads me to think there needs to be another place to put money into, and that sounds like bit coin. The money we use, the good old greenback is a controlled currency, the fed, or all central banks are the actual scam...money is manipulated all day long and controlled with interest rates etc.plus there is counterfeiting etc. but, bit coin is based on something called the block chain..now that is not corruptible...bitcoin is based on math, and you can learn more about the block chain on YouTube. I suggest if you decide to dip your feet into bitcoin, you maybe go to a bitcoin ATM, I know USA is clamping down on crypto currency so not sure if there are any atms around to buy cryptocurrency. There are a lot of cryptocurrencys there is dash, monero, EOS, and one I like is veritasium, all of these are block chain based..veritasium is smart contracts..that one I’m interested in a lot, gets rid of middle men. Anyhow, buy a part of a bitcoin, even 100$worth...but make sure you get a hard wallet...don’t put it into an exchange..that will be clear once you start looking into crypto currencies...I suggest you take a look on YouTube a channel called the dollar vigilante, it’s a very good show, and will in a nutshell explain a lot about the world of cryptos, ICOs etc, that’s initial coin offerings...anyhow..I’m not an expert on this, but I plan on going to a a conference. I am urging everyone to look at this part of the financial world, as with the internet when it started, people didn’t understand nor wanted to...look at online shopping, ten years ago, SCAM...now? I also feel the dollar or in the very least the stock market is going to crash and crash big...so one needs to look at other things then putting money in a bank that pays no interest...Oh another thing? I like the fact that the all seeing government can’t tell me shit where I spend my money, or how I get paid by it..that sounds like freedom to me..the world we live in is less free everyday..ok, I’m just a dude, talking about bitcoin.
Peace!
