Gee, Crypto, eh?

There’s something very obvious about the way it all ends…

I mean, we only have to watch Hollywood movies to see the same plot, over and over and over again…

Of course, when I say the same plot I don’t mean EXACTLY the same plot because, well, I have read a very long book called “The Seven Basic Plots” and I feel well qualified to tell you how it all ends once I work out which plot reality is following…

Ok, this may get a little confusing…

Once upon a time, the Nazis did a particular salute and if someone else did one then it could be presumed that they, too, were a Nazi… And like all those moments in film where one waves a hand at an auction and the bid is knocked down to the shocked idiot who didn’t know what he or she was doing, the normal response is: I WAS MISUNDERSTOOD, THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT!

Yeah, but Elon Musk is not saying sorry. He’s not saying he was misunderstood. In fact, I can’t find anything about Elon Musk at all and so I’m not sure that he even exists…

Oh wait, there he is: reposting photos of other people with their arms outstretched and suggesting that he’s not the only one to have done this… although he has failed to find any of actual Nazis…

Anyway, Crypto, eh…

I mean, it’s going to be a great investment and Trump is starting a whole crypto thing where people can invest and nobody knows who’s investing and where the money comes from and isn’t this a great way to stop the government from knowing things and…

Money laundering? Well, who wants to have dirty money? It has diseases and you might get sick, so isn’t it better to have money that’s clean because it’s been laundered… Not sure how Robert Kennedy Junior feels about washing things but we know that most of the stuff that modern medicine believes is just wrong according to him so we can probably expect water to be next on the list of things that he’ll suggest should be removed from any health recommendations…

Anyway, Crypto, eh…

And this is the US government approved crypto way of avoiding tax and, don’t you worry about that, Trump is not Joh from Queensland, he’s Donald from New York and he was the guy who fired everyone on “The Apprentice” and he’s doing it again. None of that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion woke stuff… We want Sameness, Inequity and Exclusion… And non-woke, or as we call it in some places, sleepy bye-bye…

sigh<

So here’s the way it goes from here… Some foreign government, let’s call them China after the Tea Party that took over the Republican Party because if you don’t serve tea in China then you won’t be considered civilised in certain circles and you won’t get an invite to next Royal Wedding!

I got distracted, but that’s ok, it’s what I do, I call it the Weave, because that’s what Trump called his rambling and if you can’t copy the POTUS, then what’s the world coming to? Yeah, when’s the world coming to… and who knocked it out?

It’s the Weave and some people don’t understand it…

Back to the plot of the movie or reality or whatever:

So, this alleged country buys up lots and lots of crypto… the US government approved one… and the value goes up and up and up and more and more money goes into it, and how can we miss out… it’s like the tulips in Holland and the GFC and the bubble in the tea that someone is going to serve to get an invite to the next big event…

And then when this imaginary country that has pushed the price up to the point where the US and its billionaires are hopelessly exposed, they sell.

It crashes.

Whichever one of the seven basic plots this is, I don’t think it’s the one where the President saves the day…

And James Bond was fictional.

I guess we’re all relying on Elon… which is an anagram of LONE… And it means “Oak Tree” which is an anagram of “Re Tea, Ok”… which means nothing… just like Elon’s straight arm gesture…

By the way, have I ever mentioned that TESLA is an anagram of LEAST?

  1. A few years ago a train driver in the Pilbara parked his iron ore train at the top of a hill, and walked away forgetting to put on the handbrake. It started to roll and gradually picked up speed until the whole thing resulted in a total devastation which the media swooped on to boost its readership. With Americas new leader I feel I am privileged to be watching this show close up as history repeats.
