I don't really understand all of this, @joanstewart, but what I do know is that I am tired, really tired of having to pay the big boys to do things that should be really simple and inexpensive. Like banking. I am increasingly believing in the Mattrass Bank and Crypto. I am so jaundiced by what happened with state capture ..... The corruption has tarred those of us who worked honestly with government with the same brush and we are the ones who walked away having been screwed. I kid you not: when they choose to enforce contracts they do and that is how I lost money hand over fist - even though I was in the right. I was just too small - no clout to fight. Let alone energy, money or inclination. And then the work was not appreciated and was just a glorified tick-box excercise.
So......................
Yes, one does become tired of the tyrants, switch from one to the next with blinkers on well that is how I am beginning to feel. Work hard, do what you always felt was the right, then get kicked at the end of the roadshow.... eish!
Mattrass Bank a small portion sounds good, crypto is something to wrap the head around, could be good reason to read and learn. I stick/stay firm in my decision that blockchain technology in some form of crypto will arrive within the next 5/10 years when government and banking fraternity learn how to squeeze what they feel is their portion.
Have a great day @fionasfavourites living where you are now at least found some peace and quiet, one day at a time!
The Mattrass bank is great for the village where most transactions are still cash. I agree with you about crypto and I do need to spend some time reading and learning. In the meantime, I am here for the long haul.
One day at a time, yes! Peace, sometimes and quiet - most definitely not with the cacophony that is the guineafowl, birds and the frogs! LOL
