Of course you can do it. Even though the odds are against you, it is indeed possible.

It's actually more fun to give the odds the middle finger and succeed in spite of everything against me.

The opposite is true. In a perfectly run economy there is zero inflation. Inflation is bad.

movie exec script notes on Revenge of the Nerds 2: "idk about the NFL superbowl guy and supermodel wife losing their money to a polyamorous (had to look it up, don't buy it. Can't people just have good old fashioned affairs?)CEO and Legendary Lore player buys vacation home in the bahamas with non-existent funds? It's just too on the nose. And we need the nerds to be likable. Stealing a jock's gf (consentually now of course. I hate woke cancel culture as much as the next guy but you gotta go where the box office is) is the kind of Bing Bong Theory wish fulfillment we can get behind but nerds bullying the jock's out of their lunch money? It's quite frankly mean spirited and reeks of politics and socialism which won't play well in middle America

During a conference call with them, they tried to strong arm us into a design contract and said, "We have to know soon because we have some other projects coming up" and I just told them to work on those other projects because our stuff was going to be on the back burner for months and they got all angry. Like don't try that Craigslist sales tactic bullshit on me, bitcoin dork.

I love when people go on about how bitcoin is digital money, like I just got home, saw my pay cheque had gone through and paid some bills, all in like 5 minutes, and there were no armoured cars full of banknotes involved at all!
