I never understood why people make comments like "wow, you have too much time on your hands," as if they themselves don't spend significant time watching shows and movies or reading - or just sitting on their ass.
"You spent time doing something quirky that you found rewarding or interesting? Well I wish I had some time off from my 24/7 job in the diamond mines!"
I know you'd like to characterize it as dumb luck because that would make you feel better. The reality is that I've been making small monthly bitcoin purchases for the better part of a decade as a part of a much larger retirement fund.
When the btc price hit $100k, I sold most of the initial investment so that now I'm just risking losing part of my gains.
You can call it lucky and incredibly stupid. I can call it calculated risk.
What's the point you're trying to make here?
You seem mad about el salvador's bitcoin experiment. They made a little of money on their little investment.
It's commonly used as a store of value. When people invest in gold, what's the use of that? They're not going to actually use the gold for its physical properties.
I'm American and the unit of value that I'm most familiar with is dollars. We could convert it into any currency that you'd like. I could have also said simply that their investment had about doubled in value and roughly had the same initial value as about 10,000 economy cars.
El Salvador apparently invested about $270 million in bitcoin since 2021 and that investment is worth about half a billion bucks now. Oh my god, ha, what idiots!

Anyway, the caligraphy looks great!
