Huh. All in all, I got 3 years of premium subscrption for the price of one.
I don’t have a credit card, I don’t want one, I don’t need one. So when PayPal fell away as a payment option I tried bitcoin, managed to acquire some for about a year’s worth of premium, but from that service wasn’t able to do any transfers. So I let it sit for about a year, in which it more than doubled.
SO I tried again, got it to work, bought a year of premium and had plenty of bitcoin left. When I bought the second year, bitcoin had risen again and I still had some left, but not as much as before. You may have heard that recently bitcoin has risen to new record highs, again. And for a few months now I had more than enough, again, for a third year.
Today I noticed it had fallen again and my wallet was close to going below the 1-year-premium threshold. So I chickened out and prematurely bought that third year. Now I have only some pocket change in my crypto wallet.
I don’t want to endorse crypto or other risky investments, I’m too much of a coward, financially. And I still think Bitcoin is a textbook example of a soap bubble that is destined to burst at some point. It’s just make-believe money. And its recent highs seem like a sarcastic comment on the crazy world we live in these days. With the clown in the White House the whole situation is so volatile that the next world economy crisis could come any day.
So, this more or less ends my crypto adventure. I’m a chicken. But hey, I got three years of premium subscription at a real discount price. It was fun.
