    God, the whole “money lying around the house” bit in the first couple minutes reminded me of my great great grandma Emma Muilenburg (née Collison) who had a couple thousand (I think) stashed away in various places about her house. It wasn’t uncommon for people to distrust banks with their money back then (she lived from 1903 to 1988). After she passed away and her kids went through her belongings in her house, they found enough money to pay for a her funeral, and even then, there was enough money to split between all three of her kids. It’s just crazy lol

    My mother always tend to bring up stories how my grand grandfather once have found a bucket of golden coins buried under tree near his fields.
    Although he had some gold he couldn't swap it for any goods because of war that plagued country so even though he technically was pretty rich he couldn't do a thing with the money and after all he buried it himself under the stove threshold in local bakery which he hadn't told anyone including his own wife or daughter.
    Finally my grand grandma allowed some fortune seekers to search for it for some money.
    That's a tale about how money even in the most stable currency sometimes can be worthless.

    Hi Michael, I am going back through a bunch of your videos and I have to tell you your collection of videos is simply awesome! Some of the best content available here on YT. Your presentation style, topics, flow of dialogue, etc... are all great. However the one thing that I am getting is a strong sense of nostalgia, I mean a really big wave of it! The music in the background is so important and it sets the fingerprint and the tone/mood of the videos with such a strong impact that when certain songs are played it is like the nostalgia volume knob gets cranked to 11!
    And if that is not fun enough my son saw me here and commented on how he remembers watching these videos together - one could not ask for more that this. your content has been part of the fabric of the past decade for me and my sons! A part that makes all of us smile! Thanks for making such entertaining, high quality content!

      You don't lose anything if you keep the investment in bitcoins and wait for the price to raise again lol, and it will. It is a very fluctuating currency, this is no surprise to anyone.

    • @TheMusterionOfRock
      @TheMusterionOfRock 7 лет назад

      It's only about understanding the market and that the demand for bitcoin will rise. Of course gold is less risky, but bitcoin can potentially earn much more on investment but yes it has more risk. It is however very unlikely that bitcoin will crash and die all of a suddenly, it's only just started growing.

    Moral of the story... money is worth nothing, it's just paper and "we all" agreed it has value. So we work for some paper to have actual food and else and maybe do some war for the sake of it. Money is a game. Should we still play or should we quit it?
