Every bit of this essay was a wild ride for me. Word by word I understand meaning - but all together in this piece of writing I was honestly left way behind in the fiery slipstream. For a while some five or six years I had a contact on LinkedIn - before I was expelled for holding pro-Palestine sympathies - and he lived in upstate NY - was engaged in trading Bitcoin. No, I'm uninterested - I told him. Of course if he wished to laugh (at me) - he certainly could - but for my part - about what essentially looks to me like a kind of Ponzi scheme - where Johnny-come-latelies are screwed by those who leapt aboard earlier - my ethical position on gambling tells me I made the morally right decision... Thanks for your reflections, AH.
