That's it - that's the advantage. I'm unbanked - i never have any maintenance fees or overdraft fees.
I can't 'cash out' from crypto either - which at the moment is not a problem, since i only got a couple hundred bucks here and there.
Shit , just paying exchange / transfer fees / taxes? would probably wipe the profits.
The original intent behind satoshi's vision / cypherpunks was to get rid of those antiquated systems.
I get it though, money makes the world go 'round. There isn't any part of our daily lives that we don't have to interact with money.
It's how we pay our bills and debts.
The shit part of the system is being born into a world that has already been carved up and spliced out and 'owned'.
We are born into a world of 'immediate debt'.
What can we do as a collective to 'change' that system.
Let's face it , as much as I hate that system that destroyed me - and i want to 'destroy' it with fire
there are a lot of other people that get riled up pretty quick when you talk about 'destroying' their way of life.
So I need to focus on things i can do to 'change' it - even though i watched the last 30 years of 'incremental change' lead to more poverty and despair.
Maybe that's just my skewed view of things because I am on the lower end of the scale.
Well, for starters - i don't use banks anymore, i never had good enough credit to 'borrow' my way into the middle class
and fees and the never ending payday loan cycle will just make it even worse.
My little part in all this is just to try my best to make it day to day until we can spend our magic internet beans directly from our phone.
SO while i haven't really set any goals for the year (because i'm in a crappy situation),
I can still do little things to make some headway -
My Leo wallet dollar value went from $80 to $130 - so that felt pretty good LOL
I miss being a carpenter making $100 a day - now it felt pretty good making just $50 in like 3 months
So I sent some liquid $LEO to for my version of broke investing - WHOOPEEE
I have half as much lbi as i do leo - so i think now it's time to power up some more.
I think when i get to 500 LEO i will start to get more lbi-token again (if it's still affordable ???)
Well, that it for my 'not swearing at splinterlands' post for the day
Keep stackin' sats friendly people ;)
