Strange times we live in. Crypto speculation, YouTube views, paid content. Yet no real contribution to the human evolution. A good professional is getting harder and harder to find. This generation is full of fucks who pose on YouTube, unboxing shit, and earning 100k dollars per month. Or "great economists" who are betting on a zero-value digital coin. This is insane. Go get a fuckin job, get a degree, go invent and participate in a project that has real benefits for our technological evolution. You are chasing ghosts and the next generations will have you impaled as the idiots of human history whose only occupation was to gamble and make selfies in moronic view-hungry vlogs on the internet.
So yes, hold your currencies like your life depends on it. Shallow and boring.
BTC < 8k USD. The measure of our generation...
You can blame the government for this. if there were no such things as taxes, the rate of production of professionals will sky rocket up to the point that a certain country is over-populated with it. The trend now is money comes from how many attention you get and not from the value of the things you contribute. Hate to break it to you, but this is how the internet works now and as you already know: the majority of the people uses the internet.
