It's all in pursuit of the One Piece.

Despite being very grateful for what this job has done for me and my family, I’m simply not strong enough to keep doing this if it means having to just accept this kind and amount of distress. Perhaps that makes me weak, but I’ve rarely ever really thought otherwise.
I agree with Jocat, this isn't a sign of weakness.
Can we drop this "gotta be strong" shit when people are literally dealing with thousands of random abusive asshats never leaving them be?
I would never, ever suggest anyone get into crypto. It's far too volatile for any type of reasonable investment scheme.
The only reason I even have crypto is so I can donate to the private torrent sites I am on.
Crypto isn't outright evil, but you really should only use it if you have things to use it for, and aren't trying to game the system to get rich quick.
Honestly, anyone playing such "get rich quick" investing games with crypto needs to be honest with themselves that maybe they've got a gambling problem.
If only. Democrats are historically milquetoast in response to Republicans.
This charade has been going on for 40-some years or more. At least since the likes of Reagan and Gingrich.

The court could go out of their way to rule on the case and make sure it only applied to Trump and only in this instance.

Just because the Democrats are suddenly given power doesn't mean they will use it to stop fascism. Sadly, too many in the Democratic party are invested in the US Empire to just let go of how things currently work. Their long inability to act is literally why we are at the precipice of fascism fully taking over. The Democrats fell in line with Bush's illegal war in Iraq, and they declined to do anything about the fact that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & Co. signed off on torture. We're about to have Trump as a Dictator because we refused to do anything about leaders who were and are war criminals. People expecting Biden to do something, even if it is ruled in his favor, are waiting in false hope, imho.
EDIT: To be clear, I'd be ecstatic to be proven wrong, honestly. It would be nice to see Democrats really stand on the right side of history, not just partially or out of convenience.
I mean, yeah, it's bad. We shouldn't be ignoring how bad bitcoin is for the environment.
But are you really gonna tell me that all the computers and CPU time that Wall Street uses for trading somehow takes less?
It doesn't matter what financial system you use, you're still burning energy to make it work.
You give them too much fucking credit. The rich are an entire class of people who don't know how to take "No" for an answer, they'll just burn every last drop of fossil fuel in pursuit of... something? and then say "oopsie doodles" when it's all gone and they still haven't gotten fusion off the ground.
