I've just remembered who I am......

What he actually said.........
"Obviously we wouldn't want to be owning anything that we thought was in a currency that was really going to hell."
"There could be... Things happen in the United States that... make us want to own a lot of other currencies. I suppose if we made some very large investment [in a] European country... there might be a situation where we would do a lot of financing in their currency."

Fair point but then following them would be somewhat pointless.
I did just that a few weeks ago. Manually clicked unfollow one by one for nearly 2000 people that I followed. Started again at following zero. Slowly building back better 😬
Quite an eye opener to know that such a high percentage of my list simply aren't here anymore.
Interesting that the warrior aspect seems to have been ignored. I would have thought it quite inspiring.
Another question I have.....is there any evidence of the actual types of tattoos/body painting that people might have worn in those times?
It's nostr, let me be facetious. Are there not individuals who are inspired by the warrior aspect of celtic history rather than the 19th century romantic neo-druidism nettle-tea/river fairies? 😬
Maybe lack of written history, aside from Roman accounts, has meant there is not a lot of inspiration. Boudicca even an inspiration for female Britons? Do people in those areas identify with the different regional celtic tribes or is that lost?
Lots of questions as I'm interested. Also The Galicians from North West Spain not considered a celtic nation?
I asked why there didn't seem to be any "warrior" or dare I say "nationalist" type movements in Celtic European nations. One of the answers was given......
"Cultural Dilution: Celtic identity has been romanticized through New Age spirituality, fantasy media (e.g., Braveheart, Druid stereotypes), or commercialized symbols (e.g., Celtic knots). This makes it harder to rally as a serious nationalist ideology without slipping into caricature."
🤔
Also I've asked this before on nostr but no fish bit but for those of you that consider your Celtic heritage do you not consider a pre Celtic influence, for example, ancient Briton heritage? Is it fair to say that the ancient Britons were not really invaded by Celts but more adopted the culture of the Celt from Europe?
