RE: Life in Crypto is Like..... Series | Ah Gandalf..... I Was There Back in the Mt. Gox Days......
It is the Wild West, and it's pretty exciting. We're getting another chance at our own .com boom. I look at Coinmarketcap.com every day to see what's going on, what I should buy, what I should sell, what I should keep, etc. I come here to get news on the crypto world and the cryptos I'm interested in in particular.
I've always enjoyed your blogs, and appreciate that you are still posting them, despite your setbacks. We've all had those to overcome, and persevering is the best thing you can do.
I've come in and out of Steemit as a participant since I started in August of 2016, but I have been reading it pretty consistently. Mostly, I've been too busy with other projects to write here, as I'm writing elsewhere. Currently, I'm posting my 3rd novel in chapters here, one each day, to see how it compares to Amazon sales, and to build my audience for future books. I've got two more coming out by sometime in April.
And, those court cases can take ages to resolve. My sister-in-law was run over by a car and seriously injured three years ago, and they're still trying to mediate it. I'm amazed it hasn't gone to court yet. Patience is key with anything legal in this country.
Yikes.
Canadastan is a place I will not miss when I get out of here, people are just not paying attn, in the USA, with 10x the population at least the policy work has more eyes on it and the people tend to push back more politically.
This country is just full of fluoridated lazy sheep I fought for --- for years.
I've had enough. They are happy with this garbage.
I am not.
I've been looking at countries to move to if/when things go full-blown authoritarian here in the US. Most people around here say they will move to Canada if things get bad here, but I've already ruled Canada out as a desirable place to go. I mean, I've been there (to Montreal), and it was lovely, but it doesn't have what I'm looking for in a country. Ireland, New Zealand, The Netherlands, and pretty much anywhere in South America except Venezuela and Brazil are high on my list.
There's lots of nice places to look at here, like anywhere but it comes down to what we are saying about civil rights, taxation, lifestyle and whatnot.
I have no idea why all my USSA friends want to move here (no offence) other than complete ignorance and research.
... soundbytes and snippets-- over social media propaganda do not complete a package on anything, or anywhere in life.
I thought things were OK here until I started looking into things, researching policy and then- became an activist as I think you know -- very publicly.
And have been smeared, lied about and targeted ever since by everyone in and out of public "service".
Thugs and parasites.
My main concern is finding places away from the corrupt Central Banking mafia and that rules out 90% of the world, almost and the other 10% is being occupied and bombed by the USSA with 1000 bases in 80 countries.
What are we really left with? Those stats are all telling.
Having gone through four New England winters, spending a winter in Canada doesn't exactly seem like a fun thing to do. :)
I guess there is no perfect country, especially in our highly connected world. I would want to go somewhere that doesn't regularly make the international news, where people enjoy little government interference, and a high standard of living, with maximum personal freedoms. It would be nice if I knew someone there (New Zealand and The Netherlands fit that), but not necessary. I can make new friends. Speaking the language would be cool, too. I speak English, obviously, so Ireland is a good choice in that regard (plus tons of family history there on both sides of my family). I speak French, too, but I've ruled out France as a place to move to....though visiting it would be nice. I know a few words of Spanish, and a lot of Spanish words are similar to French words, so if I went to South America, I might be able to learn the language without too much difficulty.
Ah, decisions, decisions.
