No worries @acidyo, I think the post got hit by a trail that rancho, haejin and a few other unliked individuals follow... I was actually expecting some "corrective" votes...

Yes, the all-important "reason to HOLD," as opposed to just reasons to "earn and sell." I like that ALIVE has some "drip" dividends in other tokens, and that the underlying

A very complex issue, without a doubt. In my "radical" perception, it's not a political issue, it's a human one. We live in a world dominated by a scarcity mindset. Scarcity breed fear. Fear,

Rats. That's very sad, indeed... she was one of the first people I interacted with when I joined this community, some six years ago. She was always so kind and encouraging. She will be missed...

When we still had our store here in town, it was remarkable how many self-identified "digital nomads" were coming through... which spoke a lot to the end of "stuff." Most of them were

I've handled a few coins along the way; even had some Danish 1870's gold coins I was gifted by family members at college graduation. Old as they might be, they have never been worth more than the bullion

That's very true, about equities... and most of the "traditional" stocks and bonds seem to have a smaller downside and less volatility than crypto, but that's not going to stop me from continuing

Sometimes it just becomes too much effort to dispose of things, and the best we can do is perhaps give them to a second hand shop, if there's no family interested. Our kids don't really care, so we're

Hi there @cuddlekitten, thanks for visiting!

My parents were rather dedicated collectors of things... we just don't have the space as is, and we're going to move to a smaller place in the coming years, so we have quite a bit that needs to be sent

Thanks for the support @ewkaw and @qurator, I very much appreciate it!

I am learning to let go of a lot of stuff, mostly because out next generation have little to no interest in it... so I'd rather get it in appreciative hands than know it's going to end up in a garage sale

Our outages seem to have gotten worse, rather than better, as time goes by. I guess we just have a very old and decaying infrastructure.

Oil lamps are a good idea; we have a few of those. We also have cats, though... so they have to be locked away so they don't get knocked over and spilled, when not in use. That backwards-running clock

It doesn't take much at all. We've gotten fairly used to it... it was just a week since I wrote this post, and we were once again in the dark, this evening.

Thank you! It has always been one of my favorite places, growing up. Barely a week since I wrote this post, and the electricity was out this evening. We read, and I even managed to post a Hive post from

The vast majority of tribal tokens are sketchy propositions, in my opinions. When your starting premise is "earn some extra rewards," sellers invariably end up outnumbering buyers by 20-to-1...

Sobering, and really puts into perspective our "First World Problems" like the Internet not working or the electricity being out for 24 hours...

Hi @cuddlekitten!

It may not affect us colletively, but it tends to affect people individually because they end up using that confirmation bias to attract what they are seeking. As Henry Ford once said "Whether you
