I feel bad for a friend of mine…his available retirement money has been slashed in value a huge amount. But I don’t miss his bragging about how smart he was being heavily into crypto.
The final scene in the underappreciated movie “The Magic Christian”, with Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr: A huge basin being filled with raw sewage. “Almost ready now!” The passing crowd is unimpressed, until the all-clear is sounded: “Free Money!” The crowd looks as large amounts of paper currency is dumped into the sludge. At first they hold their noses and pick at the edges, but soon enough people are diving in headfirst, and not just a few of them.

I was highly skeptical of crypto currency then saw I could buy into it at convenience stores across America. Nuff said.

Crypto is like cricket to me. As many times as I have studied the rules, I never fully understood it. That also goes for NFT’s.
