My girlfriend just received her passport so I got to take her to my most favorite place in the world, Toronto Canada along with Niagra Falls.

Did some sight seeing, fine dining, stayed at a luxury hotel with a view, and she got a tat the Canadian maple leaf.

She certainly felt special during our trip.

It was a good read on Bitcoin,Elon Musk’s interest and the view of various market players on its underlying value, from the FT.com.

I just find it interesting how certain people on this forum tried to clown you about Bitcoin and insisted that you didn’t know what you were talking about.Called it a scam and insinuated that you were scamming people. But, now that you’ve been proven right, those same people are quiet af.

Just sayin’.

I’m still uncertain about it from an economic theory point of view. That’s part of why I sent the article to TDK - to get his read on it. The views range from Bitcoin as a digital alternative to gold, ie a store of value propped up by a fixed supply that serves as an inflation hedge to a totally invented commodity with no underlying fundamental exchange value. I was curious as to what your take was on it, TDK.

Think of it this way. Is gold portable? If you a bar of gold what would it take to exchange pieces of it for goods and services? Does it offer a public ledger so potential business interests know how much gold you have when doing a deal?
Oil is a speculative commodity that also has a utilitarian function.

Back in August 1999, With the new college semester starting the next day, I was talking to a female friend of mine, made me promise her that I would talk to women at college. I was reluctant to do it since I always find women very scary to talk to. Plus I had my heart broken 4months prior where I had a crush on this female & turned out she was dating somebody I knew. But a couple more conversations I said ok I'll do it. And I did talk to some women, & I felt pretty good. Then I broke that promise when I left California (not my choice, I'll explain at a later post.) Now I've been thinking to talk to women again once I become a junior in college since I don't attend a 4-year university. My only roadblock is age (I'm 42)
So I'm on the prowl on talking to women again so I hope I don't get pepper-sprayed or kneed in the groin for just saying "hi".

Got my first shot of Moderna today.
You guys in the US are probably all vaccinated by now I suppose!

Congrats on that. I hope any side effects aren't too rough on you.

I'm fully vaccinated (so is my son), but sadly there are still a lot of the US people who refuse to get it.

This.

Plus now all the anti mask/anti vax crowd want to wear masks in protest of everyone who is now vaccinated & can go maskless. United States of Weirdos.

You gotta love that good old contrarian logic. I haven't encountered many of the anti-maskers/vaxxers wearing masks in protest; too many diehards in the bunch around here. I have heard of a new trend of folks lying about getting the vaccine though.

You can tell the ones who are using the contrarian Iogic up this way because they come in two distinct & opposite strains : the "well off" types who think rules don't apply to them no matter the circumstances (aka the Karens & the Kens) and the self described rednecks who are loud & proud about letting you know they are Trumpers/Qannon supporters (aka the Bufords & the Beulahs.)

Granted there are still a lot of people running around who aren't fully vaccinated and it's not due to any contrarian logic bullshit.
