Something occured to me today watching bits of Trump:
I don't think he wants to be President anymore. It's no fun when tens of thousands of people may die because you're a stupid buffoon. And now that he can't shake hands, hold elaborate dinners, and instead is expected to deal with a meltdown it's not the job it used to be...
Interesting.
Great fun 'playing' President, not so much when you have to actually act like a President with real ideas and leadership...and of course 'consequences' ...like when he is out
of office and the investigations can resume.
We’re only down 0.63% in the last 24 hours.
Observing $5,300......
I'm actually impressed as hell, that after today and such that we are at $8,100.00 USD BTC as I type this.
I hope a bit of 'decoupling' is in the works between everything just falling because the stock market decides to lose its mind.
(to be fair Trump is in office, the Fed acted 3 days early from a meeting on a Sunday, hell, maybe the markets are exactly right..panic.panic.panic?)
damn, this is the start of a very weird year 2020 looks like this is gonna last more than a bit and well into such, it seems...
edit:
As an aside, I find it very weird that I'm not more upset about the Trump mismanagement, the cuts in CDC and lack of preparation compared to even 5 years ago
of such a crisis, when at least the government had more resources deployed on this possibility and would 'game it out' sometimes with some seriousness.
But I find myself debating other issues like: How long will local grocery stores deliver food and do I have enough? (told to stay in 65 years and live alone don't ya know)
How to make my meal preparation include Ramen noodles at LEAST every other day for a meal (ack! the horror ack!)
I should perhaps be happy about these 'real-world distractions' and find myself 'grateful' for BTC/Crypto HODL even if the value goes down 75%...even with that
and all this, and my traditional monthly income. I'm remarkably calm about all this stuff.
I'm in a 'hell' of a lot better position with this whole 'pandemic' thing then I otherwise would be, if I never into BTC/Crypto and used it to also used it to manage my
other financial interests and no DEBT and such and will at soc sec retirement, retire 3.3 years early! So best to be positive about this kinda thing and call it a win. I
would NOT want to have my direct care worker job in a group home now under these circumstances that is one thing about BTC/Crypto at least I retired 3.3 years
earlier than I planned. (I can still dump supplies off with the group home if they get that far down the list w/o risk exposure on grocery pickup if needed)
Reality: It is not just the President anymore, Trump clueless though he is, that is I'm having a bit of a 'wake-up call' to this whole clusterf*ck. Reality sometimes is too real!
So, if in the USA, I'd take advantage of stocking up on free shopping and you pick up delivery and pay by line to 'add some spice' to your home confinement. (All the
perks of home arrest without the fashion-challenged ankle bracelet thingy)
I suspect this will get big enough in a month that the perk of free off the shelf shopping using the
web and all you have to do is pickup will be gone in a month or so.
Damn, I'm glad I have a kindle/inet and amazon prime!
Anyway, puts things in perspective on LOTS of things that is for sure.
