I'm keeping this short because a week of working in the hot sun has taken a lot out of me and I suspect I have a slight case of heatstroke. (My head hurts and I'm having trouble making sense of what I read.) It's not particularly hard work, as manual labour goes (if it even qualifies), but exercising pooches is draining. (Even my colleagues, who do it full-time to earn their living) were fatigued.

When it comes to crypto, I feel like some primitive life-form living at the forefront of the Cambrian Explosion event: I'm aware that something majorly disruptive and divergent is going to happen in the future and I want to be part of the evolution away from the current primitive lifeforms and their ways, but not knowing how or when (if it will happen in my lifetime).

I know that working for and earning fiat as a salaried employee is not the way to success. (It certainly hasn't been for me or my forefathers. They're prime examples of what Robert Kiyosaki termed the "Poor Dad" mindset.) I know that there are other ways that are viable (passive income through owning real estate, etc.), but I haven't a cooking clue how to fully transition to them. (I can't even get or keep my shit together long enough to rent a broom closet with an en suite bathroom.)

In short (and this post is indeed very short): In the time of chimpanzees, I worry I'll still be a monkey (unless I actually learn blockchain technology and develop one of my own, rather than piggy-back off someone else's). I worry that I'll never get there, because I'm so busy struggling to free myself from the crap of the past that I don't have the energy or clarity to make time to prepare for and embrace the future.

Maybe I'm just tired and my  demons have come out to play. Anyway; have some Beck and Matchbox Twenty; I'm going to bed in case tomorrow might be good for something (other than spending time with people who resent my existence and with whom I have to fight every step of the way for the right to pursue getting crypto for myself, something I'll never give them).

In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey.
