(1/?) I know a lot of y’all don’t give a damn about this stuff and I know a lot of y’all think it’s stupid, but I still feel compelled to tell the story of what’s going on…y’all have rocked with me through a lot and, to be frank, this is the beginning of a pretty significant chapter…a chapter that ends with me embarking on something I never thought I’d ever embark on. I’ve always been into sneakers and I’ve been flipping sneakers for more than 20 years. Flipping sneakers is actually something that helped me understand what it’s like to speculate and understand the value of certain things. Sneakers helped me understand stocks, sneakers helped me understand eBay, sneakers helped me understand Crypto. And I think, for all of y’all that don’t understand what’s going on - this is going to be the thread for you.
I’ve told y’all…I’ve been into crypto for several years. Not as like an investor or anything, but more of like a ‘this is fascinating’ kind of thing. I dabbled here and there and just thought - not even in the least bit ironically - ‘this is the dawn of a revolution’. I started with Bitcoin, then Ether, then all the other crap that was created while everyone was losing their minds. I got caught up on a few of those shitcoins and ICO’s and wasted quite a bit of USD jumping in and out throughout the years. (I’d hate to think how much in fees I’ve paid…)
After the last crypto crash (early 2018), I felt like I didn’t even want to look at it all. One minute you think you’ve got a future and the next you’re embarrassed you ever even thought that for a second. I’m telling you I put thousands of dollars into something that was virtually worthless the day after the crash…
Anyway, my cousin @dj_klick hit me up super early one morning this past winter/spring and told me he wanted some help figuring out how to buy some DOGE. So I dusted off the old flash drives and started dipping back in…
