 my wife just showed me someone in her church group telling others about fold app 

the normies are coming 
 Spinning the wheel is probably like heroin for church ladies. 
 I couldn't get my wife to use the app in 2020 so tbd 
 🤔 🛞 😃 
 What is your opinion on it? Have you used it before? 
 I used it in 2020, the rewards were great then. Nowadays I use credit cards and convert the points to sats buying every month. Amex has 6% on groceries, Costco has 3% on gas and Citi has 2% on everything else and I find that hard to beat... 
 Thanks for the answer. That sounds like the same strategy that @jack mallers uses in his daily spending too. 
 if he's doing that then I feel good haha 
 the normies are coming with all their demands. 
 and they will be experts immediately, and they will probably buy shitcoins, and they will probably try to time the top, and they will probably try to change the culture 

so I'll try to be kind and may occasionally make a difference but probably pain will teach them better 
 we sound like get off my lawners.
but you already know im not suffering the suburban Karens becoming bitcoin investment life coaches. 
 honestly the toxicity was helpful to me in my early days so I don't think that attitude is all bad 
 My wife’s cousins are all asking her how to buy bitcoin.  I typed up a note and said just reply with this every time. 
 well planned 
 9 out of 10 are retards who will buy shitcoins.  The last 1 will buy bitcoin but will only allocate 0.05% of their assets.  Maybe a year from now they will have learned enough to own enough.  Seeing the future so clearly is tiresome.  I wish there were betting markets on what idiot cousins would do. 
 that's how it goes lol, some people gotta touch the stove
