According to survey data, three in ten people in the United States had been clinically diagnosed with depression at a point in their lives in 2023.
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/rate- ... d-new-highYou want to avoid depression? Stop doing depressive things with your life, stop chasing rainbows. We have all done it, seen a rainbow up the road and driven onward in the silly expectation that we may find it's end. But then it moves, over the next hill, then the next. That's what real life is like for many today. They read about some great new technology or new financial instrument and think that "this" will lift me out of my mundane existence. But it never does, and they chase the next fad, and the next, never content with just normal old life.
How many people went from driving an ordinary old car to owning a magical EV, thinking that now they had arrived! Only to discover they had parked a spoilt teenager in their garage, something that didn't do what they wanted when asked. The same applies to financial choices, something people in this day and age should really take a lot of time investigating and verifying. But most don't, they abrogate those decisions to other people, like financial "advisors" whom they don't even know. People who are obviously in the business of enriching themselves, by using Your money?
Then you come to the crypto space and bitcoin and it's really like "Space." Outer space. No one knows anything about it other than you are supposed to buy it and hodl it

The deeper you dig the more confusing it becomes and soon it's all chatter about algorithms, atomic swaps, batching and cold wallets. A thousand exchanges, some that simply vanish overnight or go insolvent because the operators pulled a Sam Bankman-Fried. There is no logic to it, no prospectus, no forward projections based on supply and demand or any of the legitimate metrics typically employed in finance. Just talking heads on youtube and webspaces chattering about ETF's, Government regulations, all things that were completely exempt from the original "White paper" published at it's founding. How can you plan your future, your retirement when you don't know if the $50k or $100k you invested in it will be worth $200k or $5k when you want to draw on it? "Oh just be diversified silly" Diversified? There is no diversification now, the GFC proved that. Everything from shares to houses went down over the same period and today the crypto space mirrors the stockmarket, they go up and down together.
Bitcoin is true Tech-No-Logic, a will-O-the-wisp digital thing that you can buy and play with on your iphone like a computer game. A very expensive computer game at this point. In a basic way it's just gambling, like a trip to Vegas but without the warnings to gamble responsibly. Why did the government implement those warnings and force gambling institutions to display them? Because they thought a few people might lose their heads? No, because millions of people had already lost their heads and because of multiple suicides and families driven into poverty and homelessness. Don't wait for the government to tell you something is destroying your life, you'll be waiting a long long time.
