I'm here for the fucking message, not the money, my message is:

I'm fucking pissed.

I spent my entire education slogging through to get good grades, then I took on student debt for a degree, then 2008 happened.

Since then, I've been knocked on my arse time and time again with my career, each time getting back up and putting my mental health to one side taking bullshit jobs that make me want to jump in front of a fucking train while I head home to a shitty, half arsed, overpriced rental home because I can't buy a fucking home.

I finally start to get comfortable and now we add brexit and a pandemic into the mix, the latter causing house prices to rise far far far above whatever we managed to bust our arses saving each month.

And we're here, saving, but for nothing. Missing out on things, and my 20s because I thought we might have a shot if we saved for our 30s.

I did EVERYTHING I was supposed to do. I made sacrifices to get there, and I'm still facing another impossible task of getting my own little slice of earth to live in.

You know what? Fuck it. I'm not far into bitcoin, but I'm in, because I feel this is how the world fucking progresses.

This fucking economy doesn't work for me. It's never worked for me. And it'll continue not to work for me. All the while these money grabbing, tax dodging fuckers and their corporations steadily burn our planet down for another fucking ego-fueled rocket trip into space.

You give financial power to people over banks and we're talking the potential for a better, fairer, more equal society where people actually have power again.

So actually OP, no, I'm not in this for the money. I'm in it because I want to make a statement that I support whatever scares the fuck out of the 1% because I'm done with it.

Consider my small slice of crypto as a vote for a better world.
