Folks are investing in fake money called "bit coin" now, paying real money for pretend "swords of power" or the like in video games. Heck a name in an old Volvo at least has ink, for those still stuck on material goods. And interestingly kids nowadays don't want material goods, say a CD, they don't want the physical item. They want the electronic music file. Less to carry around I guess.  |
Since you asked, Oldsmobile Delta 88. And, no I wasn't doing international business ventures. I bought and sold comics and baseball cards and invested in stocks (which started when I was a few years younger than Jake, thank you very much). Aside from working as a minor for my parents (started at minimum wage) and getting my first job at 15 and 10 months (earliest age to get working papers), I worked multiple jobs, saved, and invested and learned to capitalize "I" in sentences at a much earlier age than Jake. And now, if you'll permit me a question, you rage against bit coin... do you use credit cards? I mean, what's credit anyway, old man? Is it any more tangible?
Jake asked for opinions and mine is that I think this is stupid, but not as stupid as the thread with the guy who hates cats rallying over claw marks in soft tops. Furthermore, I don't think Jake understands what marketing is.
