We lived down the street from a store that sold penny candy, it was awesome. We would walk there and grab some as well lol. Thankfully my teeth haven't rotted out of my skull from those unfortunate choices!
It's good and important to have lots of those bags! I am very grateful for Hive and all of the opportunities it has presented me with, both on the knowledge perspective and the various streams of small bits of income as the platform grows and develops. There are many different ways to get to the end-goal of financial stability but one of the things that's remarkable is the different possible streams that we have available to us. It's also given me exposure to investing in other projects outside of our ecosystem here by just connecting me with people that have info and perspectives on them. Solana seems to be a pretty good one!
In years past, it was restricted to bank bonds, savings accounts and stocks. Granted there were certainly others like precious metals and resources like oil but that was very much restricted to a select few that could access those investment opportunities. With crypto, there are so many different ways to get to something. Live in the US and can't access a foreign exchange? Use a VPN! I like that there are many opportunities to make an income and all of those small bags add up to a pretty good portfolio. I think this is vital to us as everyday citizens, it reduces the grip of the crazy powers-that-shouldn't-be have over people when they aren't absolutely reliant on one income.
This is what surprises me the most - I should look like a crack addict ;D
It is quite interesting that because we are generally pretty open with how we speak about investing, many people end up connecting and helping other get involved. No guarantees in the investments themselves, but i think that is a critical step for the future of economics.
Hurdles to economic empowerment - rally shouldn't be a thing...
It is getting harder I hear, but at the same time there is the "where there's a will, there's a way" attitude on the internet and, especially in crypto.
