Anyone who has any kind of real hobby has probably been endlessly assaulted by well-meaning by friends and family recommending ways to monetize it. Every year people we know will tell us that we should sell produce from our garden at the farmer's market, or that we should make a gardening YouTube channel, or why do we put so much effort into it if we're not making money from it? I got into a small argument with a family member when I told him I was scaling back/more or less abandoning my fairly profitable 3d printing side gig because I wanted it to just be a hobby.

I like growing oyster mushrooms and such for myself and my "friend" started harassing me that i have to sell them and she would sell them for me and blah blah blah.

I loving hate the "everything has to be a side hustle" culture. It takes all the enjoyment out of just doing the thing.

As a European, one of the worst things about the US is the constant push for monetization. Every hobby, every relationship, they all feel transactional.

I understand why that’s the case - everything here costs money, and you’re terminally hosed if you don’t have any. Still, it’s immensely grating.

lol selling mushrooms is serious business in the us you have to keep serious records and reports for the usda in the chance you accidentally murder a whole nights worth of diners

you can also do it underground but then you'll have to deal with organized crime, which for some reason controls the edible mushroom market in the us

lol that's pretty hosed up because people can have pretty wildly different reactions to certain safe but not for commercial sale sort of mushrooms.

Also a bunch of mushrooms have bad reactions to alcohol.

https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/03/20/digital-asset-outflows-continue-for-6th-week-despite-bitcoin-price-surge/

quote:

Despite bitcoin’s price surging, digital asset investment products totaled net outflows for a sixth consecutive week last week, a report by CoinShares shows.

Digital asset net outflows totaled $95 million for the week ending March 17.

Outflows in digital asset investment products for the last six weeks totaled $424 million, the digital asset investment group found.
View All Prices

Bitcoin, ether and multi-asset outflows totaled a combined $130 million, although bitcoin also had $35 million in inflows. Those inflows were short bitcoin, meaning that investors were betting on bitcoin’s price falling.

Overall, the data may reflect a need for liquidity among investors, according to CoinShares. Meanwhile, the largest cryptocurrency by market value’s price has surged from a low of about $19,400 in early March to its current level near $28,000. Over the past week, bitcoin has risen almost 15%.

“It is evident this sentiment is contrarian relative to the rest of the crypto market,” the CoinShares report said. “It may be driven, in part, by the need for liquidity during this banking crisis, a similar situation was seen when the [COVID-19] panic first hit in March 2020.”

After having outflows of $13 million over the past week, Ethereum witnessed inflows totaling $1.3 million.

The positive Ethereum sentiment that led to investors pumping money into ether-related funds reinforces the narrative that the need for liquidity drove bitcoin outflows, according to CoinShares.
Actual money is flowing out of crypto, even as bitcoin climbs. Bags are being prepared.

You insure all deposits to prevent panic, thus ensuring that you will never need to honor your promises, which you didn't need to make anyway because the banking system is strong and stable, but also the markets will commit ritual suicide unless you promise to protect them from everything bad forever.

there are wild harvested mushrooms in our area that have extremely time tight international logistics chains. they’re so so much money.

I have a friend whose father used to professionally estimate high-end hardwood timber yields on rural properties in the west. I remember him telling me how his dad bought a property for the lumber growing on it only to have the locals who had wanted it burn it all down because they couldn’t have it. (which was dumb because he had insured it)

Of course. If your risk is all covered then that means you may as well start making riskier and riskier bets because gently caress it, you at worst come away with your losses covered by taxpayers. Which means number goes up!

I mean sure, things could go so poorly that the government can't afford to cover all the losses across all the too big to fail banks, but once we're at that point people will be too busy dealing with the end of capitalism to worry about who bet on what with money they didn't have!
