Let’s be blunt, it’s very clear what I do.

I’m only saying this because I don’t want to deal with misogynistic comments.

I can tell you how SWers and poker pros helped build crypto. Backroom deals, silk roads, and taboo industries are what gave this ‘monopoly’ money value.

I’ve been using BTC since it was $3K. 💁🏽‍♀️ An added point is that I was using it as currency (as it was intentionally built for), not just a commodity.

Now to the backstory & question points??

One of my first clients ever, and a true class act!

Still someone I consider a dear friend..❤️

Veteran, a blue-collar mechanic at a high level, but grew up in the hood, raised by his grandparents, as his mother had major issues. He had one of the deepest understandings that humans can be flawed and whether white, black, blue, red, grey, or brown– people are good and bad in every background…

I saw him less frequently as my rates increased from $500 to $800. but he never haggled, only booked when he had the money. Even when I offered to honor the old rates, he declined and insisted I deserved every penny.

Back in 2018ish, I complained to him about how I was a little annoyed with the Bitcoin transfer processes. I was camping/fishing on Lake Texoma, had trouble transferring, & just gave up. By the time I got home, my money had tripled.

Before I moved to Washington, D.C., we made sure to see each other a few last times. He confessed he had come down with stage-three cancer.

Fast forward 4+ years…

He randomly hit me up last year, and we hopped on a call. He confessed that bavk then, he felt like he was on his last leg (& probably manic from cancer treatment), took every dime he had (around 20k ish) and put it on Bitcoin back in 2019!!!!

He was calling to thank me!! Not only did he beat cancer, but also, was richer than he has ever been!🥰

🌟Here’s where I feel bad… I told him to maybe put some into XRP. I can only hope he didn’t do what he did the first time. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I mentioned to only put maybe 5K in AT MOST, but men do not listen lol..

*So what do you guys think about the prospects of XRP really lifting off? It seems like just a ship afloat with no gas.😬 *
