Good morning all
I hope this day brings you as much joy and happiness as possible as self isolation and social distancing continues in the second week of April, 2020 I encourage everyone to remain strong and supportive of loved ones and family during these troubled times. As we look ahead to the third and forth week of quarantine, this is where any loose screws will start to rattle around imho. People with too much time on their hands and not enough to do will start to act out in strange ways, not all of them productive.
Now is the time to be the rock upon which others can lean. Reach out to your friends and families..ask them how they are doing. How they are coping and most important..if there is anything you can do to help. The power of such a simple gesture can not be overstated and I encourage everyone to give it a try.

In a way, I have been preparing for this all my adult life. I suspect many of us have. Of course none of us knew precisely what form it would take, but my guess is that our recognition of the unsustainability of the status quo is what led many of us here in the first place. As such, we find ourselves better emotionally equipped than many around us to deal with reality, as its increasingly stark consequences sink in.
Whatever your particular views on the "real crisis" vs. "never going to waste" debate, this whole thing taken together is certainly the biggest shit that has gone down since WWII. We have crossed the event horizon. The old economy is never coming back. Whether that is due to chance or design is largely moot at this point.
Suck it up and prepare to tighten your belts with everyone else. Outward displays of relative wealth are going to become decidedly unpopular in coming months.
Part of HODLing is surviving to reap the eventual rewards of your farsightedness, don't blow it now.
