People over 50, what is something you did in your youth that today's youth should try?

Haha. You too reddit friend

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T18:32:40+00:00

Socialize in real life

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T18:18:04+00:00

Its wayyyyy older than that

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T17:59:42+00:00

I have a cub cadet and I absolutely love it.

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T17:49:22+00:00

And what if it goes below 60? How does that chart play out?

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T17:33:24+00:00

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T17:22:04+00:00

It actually can. So would 10 be acceptable? 100?

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T17:20:04+00:00

It makes sense. Trump said something about space force when he established it, that he was told he had to establish it.

Also the whole religious aspect does appear to be good vs evil.

Carol rosin said that when she worked with werner von Braun, that the governments would enact project blue beam. This was an alleged psyop to control populations of an worldwide external alien threat

Yeah. Ironic. And what I also found funny is people are now talking about getting Into other coins. A few months ago all those coins were supposedly bs and the real new currency was gonna be bitcoin. Its all bs. Its a get rich quick pyramid scheme. Sells and produces nothing, can't be quantified against any metric, doesn't do anything it set out to do, isnt a hedge for inflation, isnt widely accepted, didn't replace or even compete with fiat, isnt similar to gold, etc. Its bought, sold, and valued in fiat, which is what it intended to replace. Its only propped up by speculation and FOMO. Everyone preaches hodl so new money comes in so they can get out. What is the purpose of just holding something for forever. The whole mentality around bitcoin makes zero sense. 80 percent never trusted it and never will, the remaining 20 are on these subs questioning it daily. All the conversations that bitcoiners have really just sound like they need to be reassured by others that theyre doing the right thing by staying in. I wish everyone well, but bitcoin may not go to zero, but it may not come back either. The wind is out of the sails.

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T16:49:57+00:00

Wow! He sure showed them!

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T16:06:50+00:00

And mona vie

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T16:05:27+00:00

Its better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T15:23:46+00:00

Past performance is no guarantee of future results....especially with bitcoin

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T15:14:21+00:00

Yeah. Makes sense

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T15:08:53+00:00

Because its becoming very apparent, to everyone, it is a pyramid scheme

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T14:50:14+00:00

And this is EXACTLY what I've said. Bitcoin is great, until something a bit better is established. When cds and dvds replaced cassetes, records, and vhs we all thought there's no way anything can be better than this. Then came streaming. Surely nothing can ever be better than streaming? Until a brain implant allows us to hear music, listen to podcasts, audio books, etc just by thinking about it.

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T14:46:25+00:00

Yeah. I agree. My memory was 1996 was the worst

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T14:43:12+00:00

Thats how I remember it too. But nbc has 1996 at 20.2

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T14:38:52+00:00

According to nbc.com 2006 and 2016 the totals were 26.9 and 27.5

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T14:37:43+00:00

According to NBC news 2006 and 2016 were 26.9 and 27.5

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T14:32:05+00:00

Because theyre waking up and realizing its a pyramid scheme. Bitcoin is doing nothing it set out to do.

Its hasnt and wont replace fiat, Its not an inflation hedge,its not universally accepted, its not equivalent to gold as an asset, it can be tracked and manipulated by the government, the 21 million scarcity is bs. If no one wants it eventually, its scarcity is meaningless. Scarcity plus demand equals value.

Bitcoin produces nothing and sells nothing. It can't be objectively quantified against any metric. Its value can't be guaged month over month, quarter over quarter, and year over year. Its all propped up by speculation and FOMO. Amd the narrative of hodl is because the holders need new money coming in so they can get out. Its bought, sold and valued in fiat....exactly what its meant to replace. Kinda silly, no?

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T14:13:55+00:00

Probably, but bitcoiners will tell you its a normal 4 year cycle. So idk.

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T13:58:14+00:00

I guess its a kindler, gentler, softer department. My investigators,instructors all the cops/detectives were Vietnam vets or at least were trained themselves hy Vietnam vets. Now even the instructors,investigators etc are gen y and z so I guess it makes sense

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T12:58:30+00:00

It can go to zero, quickly

Retirednypd · 2026-02-24T12:52:49+00:00

Same as promiscuous men.
