If there was no Covid…you would expect crowds and prices and hot temperatures to make you scream “Do not come to Greece in August ever again”. The country is on vacation and many European civil servants are too. Places are packed, good luck with availability. Avoid the ferry boats if you can!

But with Covid who knows!

Just read some dude quit after making millions in Dogecoin, which it appears to be the next coin for Musk to manipulate…

I wonder, 20 years from now, will we look back and shake our heads about all the shitcoin madness…At least I managed to talk a client’s teenage son away from putting his $2k savings into the Coinbase IPO 🙂

Yeah, I don’t get it either…

I remember reading about this a few years back and thought that would be the end of Bitcoin. I and many others have been very wrong about cryptovaluations. I still think it’s a scam and I agree with “Crypto markets are not significantly different than Ponzi schemes.

Short-term dollar inflows are used to pay-out short-term outflows and the whole thing stays afloat so long as there’s not too many withdrawals. When that day comes, it implodes. ”

It’s all psychology. It’s a cult. Logic and gravity do not apply to HODLers. I hope they don’t induce a financial crisis.

Yes. At this point I just want to be able to be in shape enough to finish the Athens, Greece marathon in November. Starting in 2022 I go back to biking, sad!

George, did it ever occur to you that, as some famous dude once proclaimed, “doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results” is a definition of insanity? Your body is trying to tell you something, but you’re too obstinate to listen.
Stick to blogging, at which you excel.

Effective immediately, you can now MS at Walmart without a mask (if ur fully vaccinated).

Tell me more…As in something focusing totally on personal finance? There are so many out there (blogs, etc.). How do you make one stand out? Maybe a TBB buzzy with me doing what I am doing here but only focusing on personal finance? I am afraid if I do it…TBB here will run out of gas.

What is clear is TBB here is not paying the bills…all these readers and just 2 card conversions this month with a third one…mine…if Chase gets up to speed, they are slower and slower in approving apps lately!

I need to check out substack more…In a way, it is like to Boarding Area, I give up some of my independence which I cherish.

A friend of mine runs a newspaper via Substack and is doing very well–he’s even hired a few people. I’ve been wondering if a personal finance thing would work there. Heck, it probably already is and I’m not paying attention.
