Abigail from stardew valley. The responses were coded in such a way that made it seem like she loves eating amythst. It's a long running meme.

As much as it sucks, this will pass and it will be alright. While it is shitty to drop you nearly entirely cold, she has her reasons whatever they may be.

Just try as hard as you can to not take it personally, and avoid dwelling on it as much as you can. This is hard, but gets easier every day. Go easy on yourself, it's easy to be hyper critical of ourselves more than anyone else.

Those good times you had were real and meaningful regardless of the outcome. There will be more and it's pretty obvious to me that you are more than capable of loving and being loved.

Ethereum isn't mined anymore. It's been proof of stake since 2022

I'd highly recommend this video essay from CJ the X. Inside runs deep. https://youtu.be/UvYcunuF3Eo?si=i_IPGVxuEjCL_qwm

Oh! And one more thing worth noting. Not having a national currency means you're less able to be targeted by the United States or others that want to devalue your currency. Yes it can lose significant value, but not quite like how the Venezuelan bolivar or the Turkish Lira have gotten blasted.

And if it sounds like I'm advocating for Bitcoin, I'm not, but worthwhile to analyze it realistically.

and thats not a good thing either. lets say a plague breaks out and half the people lose their jobs, you will have to greatly limit welfare and stimulus because you can only spend what you obtain from taxes.

Yeah, which is no different than having USD as a currency.

Also fair on the point with the whales.

Yea and that isn't a solution.

Sure, but it is his perspective which is relevant here.

it's mainly controlled by whales who are mostly from the west.

It's more accurate to say that western whales own more of it, but control is a loaded term. They can't just print more Bitcoin (outside of the emission schedule) unlike a federal government to give them blank checks of money when they want it.

I personally like the Hakim video flipping the script and analyzing the capitalist death toll by similar metrics. https://youtu.be/ClLKm8Q8Pns?si=Er9qEBq9OPllYSDB

Honestly anything that dunks on the black book of communism would probably be good.
