Kill your dad

>>60506626
he died in 2018. I probably wouldve though.

Yeah you fell for fucking meme coins you thirdie.

Crypto moonshots have come and gone. At this point and time its a literal gamble. Equivalent of slot machines. You should be increasing cash flow to be able to leverage in the future, but you won't. Youre going to F5 memecoin charts and bet on third world crypto like the NGMI eternal wagie that you are.

You didn't need ID.
You were stopped by the most miniscule of barriers and thusly did not make it.
Stop blaming dad.

He had boots on and was working at your age.

Not even close. The ratio of niggers to whites dictates the potential for opportunity. Look around, this board is browner than the shit stains in my underwear.

hedera will be used to power the US treasury stablecoins. CBDC's. and will enable unhackable pervasive internet where you're always uniquely identifiable and logged in and people can be drone striked at any time any place. and the government will tell you you're being gaslighted by generative AI so don't believe your eyes only believe the DLT.
almost altcoin season. you can get a good deal right now.
also tiktok gonna be bought by onlyfans founder and HBAR foundation.
x-MONEY will run on the hedera network.

You are still early to ride the AI agent wave this year. They are the future of finance management and blockchain services.

Kyc controls were really weak back then, especially if buying small amounts, as i remember it 2018 after the first bull without a mtgox rugpull and all the media attention is when the legal scrutiny came and goybase asked for an anal probe before allowing me to continue using my account

Also the gold guys have really started their spamming offensive, i really hope people dont fall for it
Just look at the portfolio destruction gold caused after the 2008 crash, boomers are seething to this day
