SO interested in The Vanderbilts! I spend so much time at Biltmore Estate. Watch any documentary I can get my hands on. Have a book about Vanderbilt family history. Book on The Astors that I haven't started yet. What do you like to study about them?
Squandered, or enjoyed? I'm personally impressed by how George set out as his life goal to spend that fortune. 🙂 An entire lifetime spent coming up with ways to spend it. A challenge indeed! And he rose to it! He innovated some interesting ways to spend it. I appreciate people who appreciate things and George was definitely that. There are people who consume things mindlessly just to do it, and then there are people who have taste, a sense of their own style, and appreciate things as an art. George was most certainly the latter. The haven he created at Biltmore is one of the greatest works of art I've ever seen, and so many of us relish every inch of it 130 years later. That's really something. But I digress I understand you're pointing out how they could've easily planned to keep the fortune going. I just wanted to use my opportunity to appreciate and gossip about The Vanderbilts here. 😂
"Are we prepared for the wealth that is ahead of us in cryptocurrency?" 😭 Those are my favorite words I've heard spoken for a long time!
New information about The Astors I didn't know!
"How do we become good stewards?" ❤ What an excellent question.
This was an especially useful video of yours. Maybe my favorite of yours yet! What I'm taking away from this is: how can I nurture my crypto holdings?
