Howdy y'all. I hope you make it through the correction alright. Being an amateur, I waited until 34K to dump my readily available assets (😭). Binance.US jumped ship this time, but Coinbase sort of came through. To be fair, maybe there actually was some sort of server overload. Or maybe it's all just one humongous scam so the rich people can buy the dip. Maybe I'll end up being glad I couldn't dump my measly Binance holdings at 34K anyway.

Maybe Beluga dumped all his BTC into DASH by accident and that set off a chain of sell orders or something. Or maybe it was some government(s). Probably some government(s). Governments are shitty, but I actually feel the reason that Mitch McConnell gave for not distributing $1,200 in US fiat to all residents. It was probably a defense mechanism against smart people buying into crypto and thwarting the establishment.

And, of course, I also picked quite possibly the worst time to finally suck up paying the shitty fees and figure out how to move some ETH over to my Loopring wallet for liquidity mining. And then there are more fees to move the coins into Layer-2. Seems like Eurasia is more active. About time I got into some sort of DeFi space, but maybe I should have just stuck with Uniswap and Cake Pool (which by the way would now be a really good time to use that referral link and get in on in case you were waiting for that $30 airdrop to buy more tokens). DFI is really hard to get outside of Cake Pool... I still haven't found a good way to buy it. I even downloaded the blockchain, but couldn't transfer Bitcoin to it 😑

Maybe I'm not a good enough programmer? 🤔

Who knows? The folks at Publish0x believe in LRC and I am still liking the 7.7 Loopring I've acquired in one day with $1400+ significant burn. By the way, has anyone told DeFi that 'fee' is probably the wrong word to use for liquidity provider's incentive? Just a thought...

Referral via Loopring wallet is not in the form of a link, just a QR code and a number:

003671 is my referral code and you get points for using it, which are good to have because they can cover some transaction fees. Really good to have, given that a 'reasonable' max transaction fee outside of the Loopring was recently seen at 0.04 ETH. Wait, that's like 4 hundred million gwei. What the fuck? 7 LRC a day might cover it in a week or two or three, but still... 

Sorry I wasn't an earlier adopter.

Seems like using the QR code is a good way to encourage actual peer-to-peer use. I added a guy on Snapchat a couple of weeks ago by scanning his QR code and I gotta say, it was really seamless. Haha not to mention (but I will, of course) that I've used Alipay and WeChat for a few years now, and the future is already here in China. You do have to have a smartphone to experience this, but it's kind of cool.

Maybe your drug dealer is one of those few and far between in the US that would be cool enough to accept imaginary payment with their phone anyway 🙃

Or are they just high?

Crypto is pretty liquid. I was able to comfort my noob self with the mantra:

The idea is to make more than you started with. We mustn't get hung up on not getting the best possible output for every input.

Maybe I'm just a Jew and you already knew that. Do you ever have that weird emotion where you want the price of a crypto to go up and down at the same time? It's difficult. That's why the emotions are important to control. I gotta learn to cut my losses sometimes.

These past few days have made me appreciate Celsius a lot more than I did before.

But, yeah, whatever the case, this was just supposed to be a meme. Back to doing something else. May we all continue to profit, even if it's not as much as we could have, had we made fewer bad decisions!

That Unity demo is coming along, by the way, but I'm just an IQ point or two short of being smart and still figuring out how to deal with those bugs...
