Interesting fact of the day: While Native Americans never developed the metallurgical knowledge to create steel and iron themselves they did in fact have steel and iron tools long before contact with Europeans.

What happened was drift iron, from asian ship wrecks, due to the current, would often wash ashore along the American north wast. This would take the form of nails or other iron pieces embedded in wood (thus being capable of floating. Native Americans had no idea where this iron was coming from or how it was made, but they did recognize its superior quality as a metal compared to the sorts of metals they typically had access to. As such the Native Americans in the north west would typically harvest this iron and forge it into tools.

To me this is just so extraordinary because they had no contact with outside peoples at this point and had no idea anyone existing out there across the ocean. Yet they kept finding this odd metal they had never seen and must have known it wasnt natural as it was shaped into a nail or a winch or something. So I can only imagine the fantasies they came up with about where it was really coming from, especially considering that it was far stronger and could be made far sharper than any metal they had ever seen. It must have seen magickal to them.

Ya know, the credit score system in america, while a good idea in principle, is really setup in such a stupid way.

One thing that really bugs me is one of the factors that effects your credit score is the age of your oldest account and the average age of your accounts. In other words if you cancel your oldest credit card, assuming thats your oldest account, your credit score will go down.

So for me my oldest account is 20 years old and its a really shitty secured credit card I got when I was building my credit. I had to pay 300$ to secure it (which i get back if I cancel) and it has only a 300$ limit, so it is useless to me. Moreover I have to pay 7$ every month to keep it. Worse yet the interest rate if i Put anything on it is insane. In every way its a bad investment and I should cancel it. But if I do that my credit will take a hit. So here I am forced to make a bad financial decision just to keep my credit score maxed out.... so fucking stupid.

Man the crypto markets have been killing it for 3 months straight, nothing but up up up.. I made 3% on my investment overnight.

I feel like with the recent addition of crypto pay to paypal, plus Starbucks taking cryptocurrency and a few other major retailers this trends isnt going to change, if anything it is going to accelerate.

I really feel like we are on the verge of crypto breaking out to mainstream and seeing it as a payment method everywhere in the next year... Now is absolutely the time to start investing in crypto.

Since the first of this month I've been riding TQQQ stock (a 3x leveraged stocked on Nasdaq index) with a 2x leverage of my own. While 2/3rds of my liquid investments over all are crypto right now the other 1/3 is all in TQQQ and I've made a whopping 25% gain on that portion alone in 10 days.

Today was a bit of a ride though, it started by dipping and wobbling but by the end of the day I made another 5% today alone. But it really made a nice run to the top in the last half hour of the day.

Nowhere to go but up with COVID dwindling, going to ride that TQQQ wave for a few months at least I hope.
