Went to an antique store to peruse and see if I can find a deal. I found a ring that legitimately looked like gold, in addition it had the 14k stamp. The ring was being sold for $15 - I should have known that there was an issue based on the price. However, drunk off the thought of making a +$200 profit and to converting to #Bitcoin, I bought the ring and went to a gold buyer. Unfortunately buyer notified what my gut was screaming at me - that it’s not real 14k gold, and it was actually copper. The moral of the story is that precious metals are not a viable option for currency due to this type of debasement and forgery. This is why I love #Bitcoin and I was hoping to accumulate more. I guess I’ll wait for my next paycheck so I can do my regular DCA. 🧡🙏🏼

On a similar line, I went to the Rialto Bridge in Venice. I thought, these shops are some of the most expensive retail real estate in the world. I was amazed to find almost every shop was a jewellery business.
Conclusion is that people will part with their money for quality jewellery.
So when I came home, I started a business selling jewellery at markets and fairs.
Then when Bitcoin came along, I put the profits from the jewellery sales into Bitcoin.
And that is how I found Freedom.
I am saying that you are pressing the right buttons, just keep playing around with the order you press them in.
Good luck
Thank you for the encouragement! I just would like to not be scammed, when a ring has a stamp stating it’s 14k or 10k or 18k I just hope it’s being truthful! I am eager for a side hustle to accumulate more #Bitcoin!
