I was on the way back
from a visit
to The Great Wall
to my apartment in this Beijing neighborhood.
Fortunately there was time
to do a quick tour
of a fabulous jade shop!
The catch?
Bitcoin were still under $10 each.
Instead of a shopping opportunity
I was up against the wall
with empty pockets :-(

ANOTHER FABULOUS SHOPPING OPPORTUNITY LOST TO POVERTY!

ouzo and out,
@onceuponatime
Loved this tiny trip with your camera and captions !
You narrated the story of many a heart, @onceuponatime !
I hope you do not come up against any wall. And if you do, then I hope you find a way around it or over it :) !!!

Great shots, good to see them under this perspective.
Namaste :)

What is a "metalophone instrument"?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

The metalophones are part of the xylophone family, but instead of being made out of "xylo-", meaning "wood", they are made out of metal(s). Last night I ended up at a man's place where he had a whole bunch of very exotic items around the house, including a metalophone from Indonesia. Upon hearing its very first sound, I knew exactly what it was, it surprised him greatly but not even remotely as much as when he pointed at a "Papou Penis Sheath" saying this one, though, you'll never believe what this is. to which I answered almost ecstatically "A PENIS SHEATH"! The shoulder droop told the story very quickly, so I encouraged him by saying that it was simply unbelievable that he actually had one of those as well as a few other items form Papoua-New Guinea, near the same area...
Namaste :)

I guess back at that time bitcoin under $10.00 was too expensive. Now, at $6.5k it’s too cheap. It’s all in our heads. We can meet in ten years while bitcoin is at 1mil and say the same...

Hey !
What's up @onceuponatime ?
This is my first time here, so ... nice to meet you.
Don't worry about those empty pockets !
I mean it.
You know what they say, right ?
Empty pockets never held anyone back.
Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.
So ...
keep your head up and keep your heart strong !
The sun will shine on you again.
You just have to believe in yourself.
Take care man !

Never been to China before... I hope some day to be able to travel all over the world and get to know other great civilizations such as the Greek one as well...
As for the BTC price at that time... it definitely was a great opportunity...but since you are far more experienced than I am, you know that there are going to be many more investing opportunities in the near future(since we are in such a bearish market for months now)
We just need to know where to look and which projects are worthy...
Have a great day and a greater week @onceuponatime

Wow! This jade shop is fabulous! Now I can see that dragon jade panel!! Huge rock weighing several tons!
It’s time to economise for everyone, I suppose. This is a short term thing! This will give you more time to weigh the best options for your jade collection!
Could you tell me which piece of jade was the first one that you set your sight on in this shop?! And could you remember how you felt about that piece of rock?!
Have a wonderful week by the beautiful sea!! Some gelato may help to cheer the low mood up a bit!!
Send me some sorbet! Be careful with the wrapping!
No insurance for gelato!
Cheers.
