The 125 doesn't do much where I live either, it was just an example.
But yes, there are heaps of values outside of the financial, which ja why I excluded them. I think the actual value is built there, but people focus on the money. The price is a symptom of the platform working well - at least it will be.
I get it. The part I lack is the wait for appreciation with any sort of certainty.
If I die today (always a possibility, particularly as I am eating potato chips with breakfast :)) most that know me will say "Damn he had a good run. He just blistered life much of the time."
You, on the other hand, have a reasonable expectation of living to and through the expansion we both know is coming. I can't factor that into my calculations.
Yeah, I understand that perspective too. As you said in your first comment about your nephews - a lot of what we are doing here today is going to have far reaching ramifications - hopefully for the better. I am not looking to just offer a better financial position for Smallsteps, I want her to have a better life and that includes a better life for the people around her.
I just really want to give my nephews a chance to be individuals into the future. Just that. Any financial benefit would just be a bonus.
Hey. I'm going to link bomb here. This guy is a friend and former employer who is an unabashed cheerleader for hive and puts his money where his mouth is. I'd do it with discord but I seem to no longer have your number so can't send a friend request.
