6 AM. It's minus 5 out there. I leave for the mail trail in a half hour. Looking at a heavy day. The Amazon drop didn't show up until late on Saturday. So it'll be two days worth of Amazon on a Monday, which are usually heavy anyway.
It's been easier to get up and go to work since I've learned about Bitcoin. The promise of it is that it holds its value better than the dollar. It's been two and half years since then and that has proven to be true.
When I learned the dollars I'm earning are depreciating roughty 7 percent a year it was like a punch in the gut. Since I graduated high school I always worked under the assumption that if you work hard enough at anything you can get ahead. It doesn't feel that way to me anymore.
To get ahead it seems you have to be lucky, invest in the stock market or real estate, plus work a job. Most people who work all day don't have the time or energy to play the stock market or watch the real estate market when they get home from work.
Our money system rewards high net worth people while it punishes low net worth people like me and most of my neighbors. Once you climb on to that treadmill, it seems, your compelled to run harder and faster while the currency you're working for depreciates.
In the end though, when talking long term investments, a healthy planet is the aim. Nature always bats last.
