What’s up guys! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed some well-deserved time off. I spent a significant part of it reading up further on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to demystify the market and try to determine if there’s a future in this. After the previous posts, I’ve had a couple of friends come up to me and share their stories of wild success regarding people they know, people who have invested early in crypto. “Man, if only I had put $200 on, I’d be retired by now”. “Well, of course DC – but if you knew what you know now – you’d put $200,000 on.” Hindsight is always 20/20…

Bitcoin! (Part 3)
Buenos días muchachos! ¿Cómo están todos? Haha sorry guys, I’m still too caught up from watching old school gangster films these past couple of nights as a celebration of two weeks off work. Friday night it was “Boyz n the Hood” and last night “Blood in, Blood out” (hence the Spanish twist). CRENSHAW MAFIA YO! ROLLIN’ 60’s YA FEEL! LIFE’s A RISK CARNAL! VATOS LOCOS FOREVER ESE! Man, they just don’t make movies like they used to anymore. I was reminiscing about this to MrsFrugalSamurai-to-be in the middle of “Blood in, Blood out” when she asked me why I was so into “such old movies”. “Because you’re there with them…

Bitcoin! (Part 1)
Hey guys, how’s it going! Tick tock, tick tock – hey what’s that? It’s the clock counting down to the festive season! Yay! Can’t WAIT. Last week of work for me coming up before a couple of weeks off – definitely need the break as everything’s a million miles an hour right now. Christmas will be a God-send (Ho Ho Ho). MrsFrugalSamurai-to-be is working throughout so we’ve decided to stay local. But that’s OK! Most of our friends are staying local this year as well, should be good to catch up with good food, good wine and good times. Following on from the last post regarding our wedding planning journey…

4 Things I Gained From Losing $40,000
It’s December boys and girls! Don’t you just love it! Summer’s finally here in Old Sydney Town and everywhere you look people have that look of hope and joy and love in their eye. It’s true what they say about the weather and how it affects people’s moods – have a look at this, unless you club baby seals in your downtime – it’s hard not to feel some warmth. MrsFrugalSamurai-to-be and I spent our weekend diligently planning our upcoming wedding next year. We even interviewed a couple of wedding photographers. “Do you have a camera?” S…si senor “Can you take pictures with it?” Si senor “You’re hired”. But senor… I here…

My Friend’s Lessons In Love And Finance
Ding, Dong, the witch is dead! Which old witch? The Wicked Witch! Sorry guys, had that humming in my head all day, my friend Juggsy’s been love-struck recently and been moaning about his “witch” – (some mythical creature none of us has seen) which has his heart on a string. Poor bastard, he falls head over heels EACH time a girl flutters her eyelids at him. “LEAVE ME ALONE, I just want to play the piano and stroke my baby’s hair”. Just wow, REALLY feel for him. But the more I think about Juggsy’s predicament the more I can see parallel’s between what he’s going through with lurve to what…
