Hahaha, over here they call crypto Monopoly money and if you dare mention it else they think you are a bit dippy.
We have many syndicates and crooks here that rip the people off and there is a great fear of anything that is not deposited into one of our happy major banks.
For some months now I have been trying to talk a young neigbor into opening a Hive account.
He is self employed with two small children and he builds websites for a living.
So, I told him to put his small business on Hive and that clients can pay him in crypto. It can certianly help him and his family, but thus far no go, not yet.
"The difference between a kid raised in an environment that increases financial knowhow or not, can be quite profound on life later".
Indeed it can be quite profound later to learn that you have struggled the old fashioned hard way to work for your money and that the only way to make progress was to depend for growth on the pitiful interest rates from the bank. What a waste of time and money!
crooks to the left of me, crooks to the right - stuck in the middle with you... :D
And life.
Here you are, stuck in the middle with me :)
Agreed that it's a waste of life, but thankfully I have always done private jobs on the side to keep us going. Now I am getting too old, as they say that I have muscle degeneration, but of course I keep on going!
Tried investing once via a "professional" and burnt my fingers lol.
