i didn't know singapore was on the jet programme actually.
how do you think AI will change the "success path" for people in singapore?
and what about bitcoin in singapore, how do most people view it?
i remember a few years ago seeing some interesting statements from singapore govt officials about adoption of digital assets so i thought it may be advanced there. but then i also it's a very strict state, so i don't know how freedom money fits into that.
i've been thinking a lot about children lately, because both my parents died in the last 2 years and i saw how much it meant to them to have us around during their last days.
but we won't have that, so it's a trade off. most the travel i did was before meeting my wife, but since then we've also travelled a bit.
i'm the same, i try to have meaningful experiences with the people around me as much as possible.
hai, gambarimashou!
I’m sorry to hear about your loss.
my mum passed on more than 10 years ago, and I still feel a void.
We used to have Bitcoin ATM machines - maybe pre-Covid - but the government has since taken a tough stance on Bitcoin (and by default other cryptocurrencies). It is unfortunate that FTX collapsed, and along with it, the investments pumped in by Temasek Holdings (a governmental organisation that invests our money) vaporized. So, government officials issue warnings about being scammed via cryptocurrencies. They lump Bitcoin with shitcoins, so I don’t think Singaporeans will get to know this freedom money since we are conditioned by such propaganda haha
Do you have nieces and nephews? younger cousins?
This will be a problem for many people in Japan and S Korea and Taiwan
oh I’m Singaporean.
can certainly relate to a lot of what you’re saying. Many Singaporeans love to travel and actively seek to indulge in their wanderlust. having said that, we are quite risk-averse as a people. you mentioned about exorbitant housing prices in New Zealand. the same thing happens here, hence we are conditioned to get stellar grades, graduate with multiple internships and degrees, make fuck you money in finance and tech, find someone to marry and buy a flat together. it’s all frightfully formulaic. But I don’t judge other people. Aside from my stint in Japan, I follow largely this prescribed route to “success” haha.
I feel that being a parent has prevented me from travelling much. I used to resent fatherhood so much because I thought it had stripped me of my freedom and identity. But on the other hand, I know that I’m blessed to have my kids come into my life. These days, I just try to gain unique experiences in my home country.
一緒に頑張りましょう
