Someone wrote (VentionMGTOW, 2 years ago (YouTube)):

Update: It’s a year later now, July 2016. Just as I predicted there are more and more signs of conventional economy dropping into recession. Bank failures and bank bail-ins are happening in europe now (where the bank goes bankrupt and the deposits of working class people are seized). Confidence in the conventional economic system is in a down trend and precious metals and bitcoin are increasing in value. When I wrote the original comment silver was around 14 dollars an ounce and bitcoin was around 240. Now silver is over 20 and bitcoin is 674. I’m sitting in a very nice gain in both assets. Over the next 3 years we’ll see continued weakening in the current system until some kind of reset will be necessary. The elites will try to control the reset but there will be a chance for regular people to shape events as well. Open Bazaar is now functioning and the alternative economy is just starting out. If you buy some bitcoins now, you can be in the drivers seat of the new economy when it really starts to ramp up. By around 2019 the conventional economy will fail and that will leave a vacuum which the bitcoin economy may be able to partly step into. It could prevent a lot of suffering and possibly sabotage the totalitarian reset the elites are working on.

So… Bitcoin $100,000 in 2019???

Bit coin and cyrpto in general just had a major crash, people lost millions of dollars in Crypto.
And the official Bit Coin convention can’t even accept their own currency as payment.

However, due to the manual inputting of data in our ticketing platforms when paid in cryptocurrencies, we decided to shut down bitcoin payments for last minute sales due to print deadlines."

They can’t even automate the process, and they are the folks behind Bitcoin.

Unless you are a weird sec of the PC hardware enthusiast who wants to try it for the fun of messing with the hardware rather than making a proffit, crypto isn’t worth it.

Even then there better uses for a GPU farm or helping with Seti@Home or folding@home, and rendering farms over a mining operations.

Man. Social Security totally fucked me over. I get paid disability every month (around 1k) and I usually get it on the 2nd of every month, right? Well I hadn’t got my check deposited yet so I called social security to ask why I haven’t received it yet.

Turns out due to me working (which they said was totally fine if I did as long as it was part-time and I made less than what my disablity check was) they are withholding my disability checks due to an “over payment” of almost 12K. They said I won’t receive another disability check until it’s paid off which wouldn’t be until November. Obviously I’m a little upset because they sent me absolutely no notification of this happening and I really rely on that extra income every month.

Alternatively they told me I could receive partial payments of “around $350” a month but it would take longer for the over payment to be paid off in order to get full benifits again.

So like, I’m super pissed and upset and on the verge of a panic attack. I don’t know wtf to do.

What a way to start off the new year.

Fuck me.

Buy less games and save your money like the rest of us have to.

With the Government shutdown I am surprised you are getting diddley.
Worst part is they dont see a miss payment as money owed to you. But if you owe them, they want their money pronto.

That disability check accounted for half my income. Im not going to have that income again until November. A lot of that money went to helping out my parents with their bills and groceries. Not to mention my own bills, untitled and groceries. So it fucks with me a lot more than “oh just don’t buy video games”

There are lawyers who specialize in Social Security disputes who may be able to help you.

Can’t hurt to ask around.

We all have to cut back from time to time. I understand it fucks with you, but you have to cut back on the luxuries like videogames and shit until your sorted out.

My apartment complex fucked me over the last few months on my electric bill, its gonna be 500+ to catch it up. I have to deal with it and pay the shit even tho it isn’t my fault they switched companies and took forever to get bills out (took them 4 months). I have to not help the people I help or buy the toys I want to. It sucks but it what it is.

I should have spent less and saved more so I had a safety net, and so should you, especially you, over half your income is dependant on if the Gov feels like paying you this month. Buy less games and save your money. Create a safety net. You’re disabled, you should have a safety net.

im gonna give you the best advice i can.
get
a job
off the books bro.
it doesnt matter what it is, but there are jobs out there that are off the books. maybe they dont pay so great but they exist.
if you work your current part as full, the ssi will close your case. if you are too sick to work full, i recommend you start looking for a off the books job somewhere.
is there a catholic or private
sorry i had to stop writing. a catholic or private school around where you live. something really like unrelated or not tied with the government. thats where you will most likely find a off the books job.
also make sure you get paid weekly not monthly or bi weekly. off the books means there is no gaurantee you will get paid and u cant take em to court for not paying you so the boss has to be somewhat trustworthy.
or just deal dope idk what to tell you.

Honestly sell your games and dont buy anything but essentials

Live like a cheap ass.

Living off disability sucks. But if you owed them 12k you are going to not ever see that money back. Also enjoy that paycut
