Hey Everyone,

Looks like Elon Musk is toying with the DOGE crowd again. In a tweet posted this morning he said he'd eat a Happy Meal on TV if McDonalds would accept DOGE, I assume as payment for their food.

Sometimes it seems like everyone but me has a strong opinion on Elon. Some hate him for being rich or for how he earned his money, for his rockets, his dope smoking or his shilling of DOGE. I think he is one odd duck, but clearly successful and sometimes a rebel, my feeling about him change all of the time.

I thought this was an interesting tweet though, because while the DOGE price moved a little it only had a modest impact on the price of DOGE.

The price of DOGE is up 4.37% 11 hours after the tweet, which is pretty in line with many alts today. So, I guess Elon's antics with sending the crypto markets flying is providing diminishing results.

Many media outlets covered the Tweet, so I guess we will see if it has a slow impact.

This tweet followed a tweet that got a lot of attention a few days ago regarding a 9-month-old Reddit thread where a man claimed he put his life savings into DOGE, and lost the money and was afraid to tell his wife.

Someone tweeted this around Twitter the other day and whether it is true or not I get really annoyed at those who do stupid things and then blame others. The comment section filled with people thinking Elon is the irresponsible one in this thread.

If you take money out of your Joint Savings and put it in a high risk investment without telling your life partner, you are stealing half of that money in my opinion.

In fact the stupidity is worthy of a list..

  1. Lying and stealing from your own family
  2. Investing more than you can afford to lose
  3. Taking investment advice from social media
  4. Too high of a percentage for a high risk investment.
  5. Didn't do any research
  6. Buying DOGE hoping for $1

There are probably several more here I am forgetting.

Today one of the big stories on Twitter is Paris Hilton buying NFT apes and talking about it with Jimmy Fallon on his show. I watched the clip and it was so cringy, see it for yourself.

To be fair most of us aren't likely to go spend a few million on any apes right now, but maybe you think it's good for crypto.. Or maybe you think it is bad for crypto.

I think people can say what they want, shill what they want, but no.. Paris didn't just end up in Fallon's chair talking about NFTs and they both just happen to have one. People go on these shows to shill.

At the end of the day, people are going to people, just remember that if you decide to take some high risk gambles you own the results.

Don't make excuses for people who go crazy and dive in over their head, we are adults hoping to move to freer markets and that means you have the right and responsibility to buy and trade what you like.

Win or Lose, you own the action and the results.

I had to edit this post to show that McDonalds responded and it's pretty funny..
