New car, caviar
I'll buy me a football team
Money on my hands
But if you ask for
A rise its no surprise they're
Giving none away
Inflation has beaten salaried income to a pulp. Everyone else can find some kind of way around rising prices, but people on a fixed income are being raped on a daily basis.
Well yeah. Properties, equities, commodities (and of course bitcoin), but still those non-bitcoin refuges seem to only be means of causing the melting icecube to be less severe.. but I still get your point in regards to the inequities regarding how (and who) mostly bear the costs.. of inflationary policies .. and moreso at various points when they implode and more injections are "required" - purposefully induced catastrophes that might even be purposeful excuses..not even completely trying to ascribe malice to all the actors.. and they might not even be incompetent but just trying their best with tools that they have.. that are quite deficient, especially when compared with sound money
(cough cough.. you know what I'm talkin bout, willis?).
...Recently we were visiting London. I had read somewhere that the UK authorities had banned BTC ATMs because, well, reasons.
coinatmradar.com did (and still does) show some +/- 10 such BTMs in greater London. So, being the sort I am (I did not want to hang around my wife and her friend doing
boring tourist stuff) went to check one out.
Well, it turns out that I found one that would sell me BTC without asking for ID or even an SMS by cellphone. Just put your money in, and get BTC out. Worked just fine.
BTM located in a market with an ethnic name close to the Angel subway station ("Northern Line").
When I travel to other countries, I like to buy BTC as a souvenir, smile. It also gets me to visit places I otherwise would likely not visit.
hahahaha
Funny how you characterize Mrs. OROBTC and her friend doing "boring tourist stuff," while nerdy uie-poie have your own OROBTC version of "nerdy tourist stuff."
What's so funny about that?
Would you rather go to some museum or the Freddy Mercury Walking Tour instead? Buying Souvenir BTC in other countries is another one of those "Buy and Save in the Same Transaction" things I really like.
Hey.. I would rather hang out with you rather than wifey and her friend, unless such friend happens to also be a hottie, and even then.. I would pick the nerdy OROBTC's activities
(who happens to be in denial and acting like he is normal), if given a choice.
By the way.. I get the buy and save.. but also with these prices, buy and replace might also be a potentiality.. depending on where you are at with your stash management. It seems that I frequently set up buy and replace, which is largely attempting to buy whatever I sold upon dips, but sometimes the BTC price does not dip anymore (or at least enough) for me to buy it all back.. but whatever, it is not like I worry about those kinds of things, even though I tend to at least attempt to set up the scenarios in which I am trying to buy back when I use BTC for purchases.. and then also sometimes that amounts of purchases could be quite a bit with some BIG ticket items.. and so whatever, there might be some sloppiness in some of the spend and replace.. especially if there is a kind of perception that profits are already quite good and that there might be a bit of an over abundance of dee cornz.. (which some of us might feel more than others).
OTOH, I was unable to buy a Platinum Philharmonic (platinum bullion coin from Austria) in London! Such a big city, such a banking powerhouse... I went everywhere I could over the city (even their gold & diamond district, another thing I like to do when touristing interesting places overseas) looking for one. Still, I did not leave empty-handed, so there's that.
hahahahaha
Oh no..... this story is going into shitcoins? Of course, I will admit that there are gold, silver, and diamond remnants in this here real physical world in which our meat wagons exist, and those places are not completely going out of business, yet...
.. it's not like I would be uninterested in that part of the OROBTC local
historical portion of the adventure tour.
