Happy Squirrel Friday to all.

Squirrels taught mankind how to HODL.

HODL is simply a crypto term that means to HOLD.

Have you heard the term, to squirrel your money away ?
The Miriam Webster dictionary describes it like this,

Definition of squirrel away : to put (something) in a safe or secret place especially so that it can be kept for future use Most of his money is squirreled away somewhere.

The HODLING habit is practiced by both the old at the right and young on the bird bath.

And if the young has any questions ???.

Then the old demonstrate the act on the bath while the young at the right practices the act.
This was also how the young learned how to HODDLE, as the old demonstrated the act of HODLING to them, by burying a nut in the ground for a time that food will be scarce.

Oh! And the squirrels also teach us not to watch our nuts all of the time. Rest periods are essential.

But when it comes to feeding time, or Hive mooning time, everyone gets to have his share.

No queuing or hoarding as each one gets an equal share.

And they respect each other by giving each other their own spaces to feed in.

So they all grow together and come winter time next year, our garden will be full of peanut bushes, which is a bonus as then the squirrels will have plenty food to eat.
Mankind of course is a totally different kind of intelligent animal and some of us will even kill to protect our hoardings, while others have to struggle without.
Mother nature teaches us the simple and very effective ways in life, but we then simply complicate everything that she teaches, normally for our own gain.
We live in a sad world and it's up to all of us to make it a better place, for our children and their children's sake.

I hope that you have enjoyed this life lesson by the squirrels.

And That's All Friends!

I only hope that when the Winter comes I will still find my nuts 😉

Now I finally know what HODL means - this story could be included in the book "Blockchain for Dummies" - easy explained in a funny and entertaining way - great, Zac, and the photos of the squirrels are exquisite 😃👍

Good evening Hannes,

You cannot lose your nuts, as when you forget where they are, a whole year later they will have grown into big bushes with hundreds of nuts. They call this compounded interest 🤣 !LOLZ

This post was authored by the biggest Dummy and I only find the explanations in the posts of the great authors on Hive that I read.
So only the entertaining part is mine 🤣

Thank you for the compliment my friend.

Good evening Zac,

now I am gonna burry all my saved coins - maybe they will also grow into big bushes full of coins 🤣 !LOLZ

Without the entertaining partthe post would have been boring and I wouldn't have remembered anything later 😂


!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Good evening Hannes,

I see that you are doing well on Twitter and congrats.

Hahaha, so you will be the guy that buries your coins. Have a look in Matthew 25:14-30 what happened to the guy that buried his coins "You wicked and lazy servant..." 🤣!LOLZ

Okay, I will try my best to keep all of my posts entertaining just for your. I bet that you won't forget my Latin name for a plane 🤣

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,

it's a lot work and I don't know if it's worth it in the end, but who knows.

Well, when I give my coins to a bank I will get almost no interest from it and maybe they charge me even more than the interest would be. When I burry it, I would get at least all my money back if I find all, of course 😂

Planeous passengerius 🤣 !LOLZ

Good evening Hannes,

Yes I know that at times a person can put in a lot of work, only at the end to be disappointed.
I once put in 6 months of hard work into a project, only to see that my work for nothing. But then 3 years later an opportunity appeared and I dusted the project off and it took off like a rocket.
So one never knows my friend 😉

Nope, someone watched you with a telescope burying your stash, just like the squirrels watch each other and when you return your stash will be gone 😲

I think that I am approaching a Master's degree in Latin 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

I understand 25 letters of the alphabet.
I still can't figure out y.

Good evening Zac,

ah no, I won't be disappointed because I could stop it at any time and somehow it also makes fun, somehow 😉

I think he either needs a microscope because the amount I could burry is so very small 🤣 !LOLZ

Maybe I should google all your Latin names from now on 😂

Yes, squirrels tend to hoard in many different places. This does allow a lot of their riches to be had by others, or remain to grow into something big enough to be life changing.

Yes they spy on each other and steal the buried nuts, but often the hidden nuts goes unfound and then they grow as peanut bushes. So then we take the bushes out when they are ready and have plenty nuts for the squirrels.

That works out perfectly ❤️
