Notes by BenJustman | export

 When I first got into investing/personal finance I was always of the opinion that I'd have to get lucky to pick the right ones, so I just bought index funds.

I stayed out of Bitcoin for a while because I saw it as a hedge against inflation/systemic collapse/tyrannical government and I didn't want to pick one thing as a winner.

Then I realized that it would take a miracle for at least 1 of the things I'd be hedging against NOT to happen.

The USA is broke AF and much of the rest of the world is worse. Though I have political leanings, no politician can fix that core problem. 
 lol no footstr 🤣 
 thanks! it fits kinda funny so it's a work hat now 
 Everything that I learned about health from #Bitcoin Twitter, my mom had been telling me for years.

I think about this a lot when trying to help my friends understand Bitcoin.

My friends need to hear it from someone they respect, not the guy they got drunk with in College. 
 it'll be so easy next year that we gotta advise caution  
 some stick around (like me) 
 I'd try it
