It's getting rough. My rant...

I run a family owned concrete paving company, have been for over 15 years (typing that jus made me feel old AF). These last few years our material costs have increased and labor costs increased dramatically. Meanwhile customers are paying less. Barely keeping afloat, account empty after payroll each week

I have been saving (my income) in #Bitcoin for the last 5 years or so and I know if I hadn't I would be VERY depressed right now. We are close to losing our largest account due to fuck ups and some key personnel leaving without notice

I will continue to bust ass, work long hours for less pay, and try to keep my customers as happy as possible (but its not looking good)

I want to THANK ALL OF YOU Bitcoiners and Nostriches. You have shown me the fraud and corrupt system we are living in, gave me an option to better protect myself, and give me hope. I have, am, and will continue reaching my arm out to friends and family to help them board this life raft I am on

If you make your own concrete, depending on the utility and billing rate / structure, you might be able to mine Bitcoin when you’re not making concrete and lower your overall production cost. Feel free to hit me up if you think that’s an option.

Thank you and I appreciate it 🙏

Every zap received will get zapped forward!

I purchase concrete from different suppliers, huge companies. I provide the skilled labor demo'ing and installing. Mainly for commercial and some gov school districts

I keep my living expenses low, live in an townhome and still drive an old 2012 beat up truck. Im blessed to have an insatiable curiosity so once I learned about fiat and bitcoin it was a no brainer. Of course i didnt acquire enough but nobody ever does 😄

Although my family business is dodging bankruptcy month to month I myself could live years off my savings

I just see friends and family really losing hope. Many have not listened when I tried to explain Bitcoin year after year. They seem to only care during the bull times. I have to keep working hard because the employees I have need to feed families.

So i will continue pushing as long I can
