For the uninitiated, there’s an ongoing joke in crypto - or should I say, about crypto and more specifically, about crypto enthusiasts - that we will always have McDonald’s when the inevitable happens and crypto crashes to zero.
I mean, look at 
Who knows man, if I could predict the market I wouldn’t be writing here on Hive, getting a nice chunk of $HIVE and $LEO rewards for spitting out my thoughts on my cellphone while I walk on my treadmill inside my improvised home gym next to my garden, I would be in Bali drinking mojitos with a couple slaves bringing me more mojitos.
But one thing is certain, these bears are not as painful as some previous ones, but these feel like they’ve been here since forever. The worst part is, I don’t and you also probably don’t see a way out in a while, a longer than comfortable while.
And I guess I saw this from a mile away to a point where I got a normie job a year and a half ago, I got a crypto job a year and three months ago, and I’ve been taking gigs both in website development as well as advisory (and active positions) in small crypto projects. I saw these bears lasting until 2024 at the very least from a mile away.
Because man, I was definitely not going to spend my crypto on the cheap while waiting for the bears to be over. It’s too painful, it hurts too much to sell in 6 months what you’ve stacked and worked hard for for years.
McDonald’s is not an option despite what every other crypto trasher wants you to believe. I’m glad these two friends of mine were able to get a normie job - in a place other than McD’s - to avoid selling their crypto.
But damn, if I hadn’t found some gigs, or if they hadn’t found a normie job…. I Guess we’d always have Ronald to save the day and perhaps, allow us to keep our crypto bags untouched and unharmed.
Who knows, if the economy goes to the toilet and we all lose our job…
Wen McDonald’s?
