Social Speculation on Crypto

Dad and I been talking about cryptocurrency a lot. We hold opposing views on the matter, but the only argument I could come up with in the moment was that it seems sketch (which is about the equivalent to his "I'm gonna figure it out" response for starting).  But I think I do have thoughts on it. Thoughts I don't know what do do with, but I still find important to note. I may not be a crypto owner, but I'm a Black trans dude in America, so anybody with money and power impacts my life in some way.   For crypto to work, there must be a class of "way less than".

Joy Post: Looking crazy with my Dog

So the other day, I was walking my dog just like every other day. Here's Buddy. He's a cutie right? (Mine is in the front view. That other thing in the back, I don't recognize. KIDDING! It's my sister's dog, Max) Ok, walking the dog, going about my business. Got my headphones in, listening to Yvie Oddly's Giggin . You know, getting my morning blood flowing with my dog, right?

And of course at this point, I'm now yelling out "GO HOME! GO HOME!"  to the loose pit, atte...
