I approach all bitcoin purchase with tme mindset of: "Is this blow money? Can I just throw this money away and be ok with it?"

That way if i lost it all, fine. If I profit, cool! It's literally just gambling in vegas to me. And I just got back from vegas, so I'm very familiar with the minset!

I'm not sure what they're thinking.

Well I get where you are coming from, but the world has changed since you were a kid.

Imagine when he is in school and his friends tell him to scroll and he has no idea how to even scroll?

They won't. At least here in the US. More and more schools don't allow kids to even take phones to school and if they do, they have to stay in backpacks. In my state, all schools are like that.

The last school I worked at last year, if a could was caught with a phone, they would take the kids phone and keep it in the office and would only hand it over to a parent

Now the kid does need to be tech-oriented for the modern world. But WAY too many people are addicted to phones. So teaching the kid that life is more than tech is a good thing.

Heck, I've even seen posts in this community where people are saying they couldn't go an entire week with out Youtube and are frustrated with themselves over it.

Warren Buffett said, “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful”.

Baron Rothschild, an 18th-century British nobleman and member of the Rothschild banking family, is credited with saying that "the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets."

I'm just happy people consider bitcoin above 90k a "dip" (lemmy-mormonsatan-u23030.vm.elestio.app)

Seriously, I held through from ATH's in 2021, through 2022 when it was all the way down to 16k, then the slow and arduous journey back to 60k, and all the way beyond 100k.

Basically, I'm just happy its above freaking 40k! So to have people freaking out about 90... I'm feeling just fine.

Now if it went down to 16k again I might feel a little frustrated, but still- I'm happy as a clam right now.

Yep, I agree. It's just that since it is not longer required learning anywhere for anything, it's dying. Which sucks.

Looking into the history of Ojibway right now because of your comment. Thank you!

Well here in the US, and in the state I'm in, not a lot of bilingual needs. I know Spanish is pretty popular in a lot of places, and I'll eventually learn it. But since I'm 55 years old, esperanto seemed more fun. And it's got an interesting history. Thanks!

I was thinking of learning Morse Code, even tho it's pretty much extinct now that it's not required for a radio license anymore. I like the history of it and how excited people were about it back in the day. I think it's still important, so it sucks that it's going away.

I love the idea of Toki Pona, since it's quick and short. But I went for Esperanto instead. I may try Toki Pona again tho!

You can always start up again. We belive in you!

I am jealous fo your programming knowledge. I'd have a lot more money today if I had that skillset!

Oy, those are tough ones for us English speakers.

Which languages do you speak? (lemmy-mormonsatan-u23030.vm.elestio.app)

I am a native English speaker and recently started learning Esperanto a few weeks ago. I was inspired by a TED Talk that explained how Esperanto is an excellent first choice for those interested in acquiring multiple languages.

Due to its relative simplicity, learning Esperanto effectively prepares your brain for learning additional languages, making the process quicker and smoother.

So how many here speak different languages and what are they?

How many fiction books do you all read? (lemmy-mormonsatan-u23030.vm.elestio.app)

I'm putting in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves for my living room today. I mostly read e-books on my Kindle, but I have an affection for old paperback pulp books from 60's and 70's.

So I go to ebay and buy "lots" of them fairly cheap, not caring about the titles. Sometimes 10 books at a time. Now that I'm retired I plan to read every single one, even the bad ones. I have the equivalent of a small home library of them now.

How many fiction books do you all read? E-book or paperback. But not interesting in audiobooks. I'm curious about physically-read books.

I'm retired so I fill my days doing whatever I want. But I'm always interested in what other people would do if they had more free time.
