Hello,

I will keep posting until management can spell correctly.

And you're written up, tho Gerry in HR isn't exactly sure why. It just sounds like a problem.

Based on a series of surveys, central bank researchers found that around 5 per cent of Canadians owned bitcoin between 2018 and 2020. That ownership was “concentrated among young, educated men with high household income and low financial literacy,” the researchers said in a paper summing up the survey results released this week.

The researchers found that bitcoin owners tend to have a greater knowledge of how bitcoin technology works than non-owners, but score lower on general financial knowledge questions.

It's worth considerably less a penny now. Luckily I got out in time and am putting it all into Dutch tulip bulbs!

The idea of investing in something that isn't tied to the value of anything tangible is lunacy. Something that can only appeal to someone who thinks they know more than anyone else.

Sure, but when Matt Damon, Tony Blair and Bill Clinton and various anonymous shitheads are forcing a narrative I can feel some sympathy for the duped.

I'm less forgiving than you on this topic. As that Bank of Canada report linked above suggests, most crypto investors are people who look up to Elon Musk as a role model. Yes, they were duped, but whenever people explained why this shit was going to burst, the response has been contempt. Hell, a Trumpling who is running to be federal Conservative leader right now says he wants to switch Canada's currency to crypto a la El Salvador.

If we can't laugh at assholes losing their shirts, then comedy is dead. (Actually, I think I'm pretty serious on that point.)

I'm sure there's a few genuine sympathy cases on the margins, but by and large it did not take a rocket surgeon to figure out what a disaster crypto was going to be and the reaction from 99.9% of crypto users was sheer scorn and contempt at even the suggestion they were less than mega-geniuses for dumping all (and more) that they had in. To the .01% you have my sympathies, to the 99.9% I say: lol.
