 Unpopular opinion:

New Year is the most overrated and overhyped event of the year. 
 I’m kinda with you on this 
 But 2024 Bitcoin bullrun + ETFs tho 😅 
 Doesn’t make this night not overhyped 😂 
 it's all tied to also christmas "merry christmas and a happy new year" and the origin is saturnalia

you might not like such a celebration if you value order and goodness and hate corruption and lies and debauchery

debauchery like debasement 
 Solid argument 😂 
 All it is is a celebration of the Earth surviving another trip around the Sun. Big deal. It's done that 4.6 billion tines already

 80% of people over 40 agree with this statement. 
 Definitely can be.  I appreciate having a checkpoint to assess my life and how close it aligns with how I want to be in the world, and evaluating by the calendar year makes sense.  The arbitrary, inane commercial drunkfest?  That I can do without.   
 You misspelled Halloween. 
 Happy New Year! 🎊

Stack Sats and stay humble.  
 So is Valentines Day
