Wow. There’s something about the word free that automatically causes my antennae to rise.
Maybe it’s because the double e’s make the same long e sound as greed, stretch it out, greedy.
Or, maybe because it causes people to confuse the double e in need as, stretch it out, needy.
So, when the recent frenzy to buy, sorry, get for free the altcoin BYTEBALL, I could only smh at the thought of bothering to become a part of it.
I mean, it just reminded me in a weird way of all the other defunct, pump up the volume assets that blew up, only to deflate into nothingness.
When offered to buy in, sorry, jump in for free, I was reminded what happens when things are given for free. At some point, I’m reminded there’s an underlying motive; because, rarely, if ever, things are given for free.
Perhaps, I’m being cynical; or just honest. Nothing in this life is really free. There’s always a price tag that comes due, or as some would say, junk, aka, clutter in the Wallet.
It seems my spirit was in proper tune when I declined the offer to receive my free tokens. It was something about the tech-word byte being related to computer MEMORY; and the word byte also reminding me of bite, as in, a lure which fish bite into, only to be had, for dinner that is. I'm reminded that a whole lot of data was collected for those signing up to receive their droppings...ahem...drops.
Jmho.
Best regards.
Peace.
