Because I was educated in traditional banking and finance - at least that's my excuse - it has taken me a long while to get out of the financial engineering-of-shit mindset. Plus, I have also always been a gambler, so I still "hedge" with futures and options (LNMarkets) and other risk-taking. However, the more I learn bitcoin, the more I am drawn away from all that crap at an exponentially increasing rate. I'm drawn to the base. The money.

Fix the MONEY and all this shit goes away. Eventually.
