That looks like a wonderful time! You certainly made a good choice to move there. Happy (belated) Valentine's Day, Lizelle!

And so many others!

A good point! The Dutch are very crafty and will find ways around this, I'm sure. Have you heard the proposal about BTC and ETH merging onto the same chain? It sounds pretty interesting.

It's it funny how most policy changes are the opposite of what politicians name them, "Tax cut = Tax Increase", "Patriot Act = Surveillance of Citizens", "Clean Skies Act = Weakening

I agree. Kind of ironic too considering Capitalism began in the Netherlands, they built the very first stock market. If I understand correctly the proposal says the exit tax will impact those leaving the

For sure. It'll make it nearly impossible to attain financial freedom for those who aren't already rich.

That looks amazing! I love the openness of it and the clean lines. I'd also like to find some of those can lights. Ours are similar, but from the 1990's and plastic.

Thank you. For sure—it heads to a landfill and then is replaced by equally as unfulfilling items which perpetuates the endless cycle of consumerism. I've noticed many modern day retailers are selling us

You're welcome. The coming months will be very interesting for crypto.

I think this cycle has been subject to pure market manipulation by the institutional investors (Wall Street, governments, banks, etc.) this artificially suppressed prices and kept price-action going sideways.

When we were having our kitchen redone I bought an electric hotplate with coils. Maybe I'll have to dig that out and start using my cast iron again. Really? I'll be heading over to Reddit today then to
