Thank you! I expect I'll be around for many more to come!

Thanks for the good wishes, and congrats on your own milestone!

Which leads us right back to "do your own reserach," rather than just running with the next rumor coming down the pike like it were actual documented fact. We save our coffee grounds in the compost

Thank you for your kind words!

So from the original homeowner's perspective, it really sounds more like a fancy sort of home equity loan than an actual way to sell your house. I guess my "stumbling block" here is that a house

Certainly interesting, but seems like it would open up a world of complexity in terms of the rights of token holders. Who gets to actually live in the house? Or would this be intended purely as financing

Thank you! Glad you were able to relate to it; in time I got to feeling more grounded again.

Thanks for your kind words, and for stopping by! I suppose I write many of these words in the (vain) hope that the grandkids might be curious, one of these days... assuming Hive keeps going.

Wise words @belemo, thanks for your thoughtful comment. There's little doubt my parents wanted me to become a "version" of them... but it was a life best suited to 100 years ago, not to the present

Beautiful land; reminds me a lot of where we are, on the opposite end of the planet. Local friend of mine is from Hobart, and I can see why he often says it "reminds him of home" around here.

Yup. And hence my (typically unpopular) suggestion that it should be a requirement for anyone to call themselves an "Economist" that they complete at least two years each of Industrial Psychology

Hello @cuddlekitten, welcome to my blog!

I must confess that "running out of ideas" has never been much of an issue... most of my chronic note taking has been the result of having more ideas in a given moment than I have time to write

Fact. The entire world seems to have a major issue with greed preying on people's fear.

The way I see it, web3 requires a complete paradigm change in order to actually work, on any scale. In other words, we have to consider the psychology of it, not just the functional mechanics. People are

Chips are an interesting item... we happen to "snack" a lot around here, and I've noticed that not only have the prices of most potato chips gone up to $4-6, BUT a number of brands have also

Yes, lately things seem to have been taking a marked uptick, in almost all areas.

Sadly, I don't think there are any free markets... they are about as elusive as the economic theory of "perfect competition" which also doesn't actually exist outside think tanks in ivy-covered
