My general plan was to go quiet as speculative madness returns, as writing "realist" non-infra posts are unpopular at best and hated at worst in such times. However, I'm grateful to have found an audience (I don't mind if it's small) that are still interested in reading about observations based on facts & evidence.

Even with all these problems, I am sadly compelled to stay. Crypto is my ticket to a middle class life. Not sure what to do with my life if I upped & left . My working life has consisted of hard manual labor & a big stretch of military service. None of that appeals to me in my late 30s . My body won't allow it
