Welcome to the Thanksgiving table.
Happy Thanksgiving. So glad you all could be here. Charlie, you want to say grace for the meal? Oh, great. Satoshi, thank you for this bountiful feast for Fuans and for bitcoin. Hey, man. Bit what, dear? Bitcorn.
Yeah, pass the car. Wow, mom, that's a pretty small turkey this year. Well, you know, honey, it's called inflation.
The farm bureau's annual survey shows that the beast is up 14% since last year.
Oh, look, someone learned how to Google. But yeah, inflation is super high right now. It's kind of scary. At least anyone who listened to me the last few years is properly hedged. I mean, Aunt Flora, you bought some bitcoin back in 2017. Ah, yes, about that.
Sold it a few years ago.
Trying not to think about it. Blair, what are you doing? Just trying to make your paper hands look more festive. I've been trying to talk grandpa into buying some bitcoin.
Maybe you should tell him about Ethereum. I mean, gas is kind of his second language. You don't have to tell me.
Hey, Mod. You see, they're opening a bitcoin city in El Salvador. It's volcanic.
Ugh.
You're not gonna leave your mother and move to South America, are you?
Hey, Grandpa, you were alive when the Constitution was written, right? Well, a group of crypto investors almost just bought an original copy.
Yeah, too bad they didn't get it. I'm sure. Four score and seven years ago, the founding fathers dreamed of being part of a dao. Did anyone invest in any of the cryptos I told you guys about? No, but I did buy some shib. What do you think the next dog coin will be? I pay attention.
Let me check ya Lon's Twitter.
Always a dog coin, never a turkey coin. Hey, mom, did you make any mincemeat? Ew. Who likes mincemeat? That's like the fiat of Thanksgiving dishes. Well, do any of you guys own NFTs?
My NFT collection has a 0.5 8th floor.
What? Huh? Anybody? Even grandma knows what an NFT is, right?
Tea? Oh, I'd love some, dear.
Okay, okay, enough talk about crypto.
Who's ready for dessert?
Do you have any of that orange coin? I mean, orange pie? Watch it.
And you watch it too. Happy Thanksgiving. Keep stacking and I'll see you next week.
Well, everyone except me.
