Recently, the market vibes are what they are—if you know, you know. Decided to just call it early and head back to the village for the New Year. At dinner yesterday, a relative stared at me for a while: Relative: 'What are you doing in the city now?' Me: 'Working.' Relative: 'Do you make 50k a month?' Me: 'Not quite 100k.' Relative: 'How many people in your company?' Me: 'All virtual colleagues.' Relative: 'So what do you actually do every day?' Me: 'I do investments.' (Opens market app): 'I’m responsible for providing liquidity support for the global decentralized sentiment index—' Relative: 'Speak human! What are you investing in?!' Me: 'I’m f***ing here, aren’t I?'
