Alright, let’s go back to the main reason I’m here. Not the only reason. The primary reason. Right now cryptocurrency is a big player in the investment world. We’ve seen it for a number of years now. Most since Sept-Jan 2017 and then more in these past 3 mo. Fucking 2013 was when this came on the market. The year I graduated college.
So, I’ve found idealists that think this is going to be the replacement to fiat currency. I’m not sure about that. I mean, it has Elon Musks endorsement? But, I just can’t see fiat being phased out that easily. But again it is a huuuge investment right now. I’m personally aiming for shitcoins. The kind that are going to fluctuate or “ripple” 😜 with Bitcoins wave. But that could just be my shallow bank account talking.
One key argument is that the financial world is distancing from the physical. So, crypto is beating oil and gold. But, production of oil and mining of gold doesn’t halt in 2025. Mining of BTC does. Honestly, I can’t see my house being worth 10BTC in the future.... although again, it is right now. So what happens and where do we go from here?
Well, I have a job. If I get paid 2 BTC a year? I’d rather 4... and inflation is going to skyrocket. People are too stupid to see the pocket change they’re getting. We have 0.0024 BTC per person in the world; available right now. These are impossible numbers. That means the winklevoss brothers have 1% of BTC Market @ $800M.
Ultimately, it comes down to the value of your time. As employers and the man has always wanted it. You are cheap. I’m not pointing fingers. Me too! I’m fucking cheeeeeap. I’m worth $100K a year. A fucking year. That’s $.86/sec. What is your time worth? Your shopping time. Fuck, I give out my time like candy.
We’ve got Musk and Bezo (post-AMZ) as the wealthiest in my hemisphere. They’re worth 1000’s more/sec, comparatively. Just sad. Makes a guy feel like he’s lost the race and hasn’t even begun. But the Zuck has always had it right.
My philosophical side has always known, but Social Network (2010) put it in words. And I’m paraphrasing.. Data = Worth. Your time online is worth something. Social time is worth something. Your work time is worth something. Not only that, records of that time are worth something. So, where are you spending it. Most are nose deep in their phone or music or a book, I guess. What we decide is what that is worth.
Finally, what value are you putting toward others time? My employer and my SO decide my value and I need to take more of that back. I don’t think anyone values my time as much as me, although sometime I let it get away from me. I think I give a lot to my SO... that’s the fucking point... pretty sure. And work gets a couple hours a week for free. That’s recoupable, I hope. Otherwise, I give my time to Zuck and BTC and little half assed projects everyday. For free.
Maybe I don’t give the SO enough credit for her time? But she takes a lot from me and I always give most of me. 😓 I’m a giver. Always have been. People get too used to it. It’s fucking hard, okay?!
Just the ramblings of a decently happy man ✌
