I heard about it this year but didn&#8217;t consider looking. I saw a Hawk Tuah political shirt saying Hawk\/Tuah 24, but besides that, I never dug into the meme. My favorite meme was from early 2001, called All You Base Are Belong To Us. Besides that, I never dug into memes. In my years on Facebook and Twitter, I rarely shared memes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"All Your Base Are Belong To Us\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qItugh-fFgg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But in this post, I won&#8217;t be talking about memes; I want to talk about the Hawk Tuah coin. I heard about this a couple of days ago and thought how ridiculous it was for about five seconds, then just went on with my life. The Hawk Tuah lady, and yes, I know she has a name, but I don&#8217;t care to look it up; she isn&#8217;t the first person to have a cryptocurrency named after her. Someone I recently heard of, Jack Doherty, also made a cryptocurrency. Lots of lots of people hate Jack Doherty, and what I dug up about him didn&#8217;t amuse me. After crashing his McLaren, he was supposedly running low on money, so he made his cryptocurrency to help him. And last I heard, he has taken the rug under most investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jack Doherty car crash\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/caa7RuFr_i4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I heard the news. It started on 6 Dec 2024 at around 3:30 p.m. a half hour later, it dropped big time. Today, around 2 p.m., it returned to the positive mark, only to fall again 20 minutes later. You can look at that here\u2014no article, just the graph. In addition, I saw a few articles on how people put their life savings into this coin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHY IN THE MOTHERFUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I heard that, it made me think of 2022 and how quite a few people told me it would be best to buy a house with a mortgage. I remember in the summer of 2021 when a family member urged me to buy a home by her. I told her I wouldn&#8217;t be doing that because all the money the government printed and handed out during the pandemic would come by and bite us in the ass. At that time, I didn&#8217;t know how exactly it would do it at first; I just knew a storm was coming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, around the fall of 2021, I listened to a boring NPR podcast called Planet Money during one of my boring walks. They talked about the inflation that erupted in the late 1970s until 1983. The then-chairman of the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker, had raised interest rates to combat inflation. During a congressional hearing, he sat in the hot seat and said he wouldn&#8217;t lower rates until inflation went down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Remembering former Fed chair and economic giant Paul Volcker\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fTxECVof1GY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, in 2022, Jerome Powell would play that same game and raise the interest rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Am I the greatest investor in the world? No, I&#8217;m not. But, holy fuckaroni, why are people buying this bullshit? The Hawk Tuah coin? Jack Doherty&#8217;s coin? You motherfuckers are stupid as hell. I wrote a post about 2022 and how people pushed me to buy a house with a mortgage. I said hell no to that. But as time went on that year, even though I tried pointing these folks out to those higher interest rates, they would say for me to buy a house still or &#8220;you should&#8217;ve bought a house before those rates went up.&#8221; This also includes family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, these folks who were screaming at me to buy a house in 2022 are also the folks who would most likely buy the Hawk Tuah coin. Besides them, I think many people don&#8217;t want to read between the lines. Don&#8217;t want to look at numbers and financial reports. And don&#8217;t want to do the research needed to better your chances at a good investment. Or pray to God that you win the lottery or find the next best thing in crypto (which is highly unlikely). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, minus family members, if you bought that coin and it went down, here&#8217;s one of my personal favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/d0\/82\/73\/d08273f8cdfe68323ca3d355ba48364e.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the Hawk Tuah coin will go up and this post I&#8217;ve written will come by and bite me in the ass. But I strongly doubt it&#8230; After this, I don&#8217;t feel so bad about my investment in Intel or Aurora Cannabis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, on 7 December 2024, I saw the Hawk Tuah meme.
