    Cry Me A Trezor

    Gimme some of that cheap ass.

    I grinned at my laptop.

    What the hell are you doing?

    Squawked the Good Lady in alarm as she saw me cackling and reaching below the table.

    Relax baby, I am on the hunt. The bargain hunt!

    The Good Lady visibly relaxed out of her defensive clutching skirt pose as she saw I wasn't reaching for my Manaconda but instead was simply scratching my knee.

    Which, incidentally is not something you want to be doing when having a sitdown with a Colombian drug lord about the plane load of missing gear.

    Need me a new crypto wallet, my old Trezor is... well, it's old.

    I looked over in disgust at my Trezor wallet which held all my millions of Bitcoin.

    Is it broken?

    She asked like one of those simple folk you see hanging about town who have been banged on the head with a phone book one too many times. A phone book you cry? No one knows what a phone book is anymore!! Listen up buttercups, this is Hive, the demographic here knows exactly what a phone book is :OD

    Broken, pfft. Of course it isn't broken. There is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, if it is broken I have a spare.

    I chortled like a fat man eating doughnuts who had just discovered that the shop had slipped an extra one in the box.

    If you have a spare then why are you wanting to buy a new one?

    The Good Lady looked at me quizzically, her head tilted to the side like a baby deer suckling at her mam's teat.

    I smiled. The last baby deer I had seen that looked that cute had been cooked medium rare and served up with a nice side of potatoes.

    Why am I wanting a new one? That's an odd question.

    I snickered slightly. How was I to explain the advantages of consumerism to a sensible person. I mean, these people... How would we have progressed as a species if we weren't always chasing the next shiny shiny?

    It's not an odd question. It's a real question. I mean how much is it going to cost us to get you your new gadget that does exactly the same thing as your old one that isn't broken and doesn't need replaced?

    She had that face on, the one that spells trouble downstairs and naughty high jinks upstairs. Given that we were on the lowest level of the house I could be in a bit of bother.

    Oh, it won't cost us anything. I am paying in Crpyto, you know, magic internet money!

    I beamed my biggest isn't crypto hilarious smile at her and laughed.

    Oh! Crypto, ha. Why didn't you say! Go on then, fill your boots!

    She joined in with my laughter at magic internet money.

    Except, perhaps I laughed a little harder as it was not entirely a like for like purchase but instead I was getting the Solid Gold Limited edition Trezor Safe 5 Independence Edition of which there were only ever going to be 2100 created.

    See, Solid gold! well, sort of... nearly?

    Gimme some of that touchscreen action baby! note, that might not be my real number :0)

    Ahhh, sometimes life is alright.

      I've never had one of those wallet doofers. Maybe I should get one for my 'millions of bitcoin'. I'm a crap consumerist who actually struggles to spend money at times, but I will buy music gear that I think I need.

      Not sure when I last used a phone book. Those I saw recently seemed pretty thin. A lot of people don't bother with a land line. As a kid I may have looked up people like Mr R. Soul for giggles.

        They are really thin now! At least the last one I saw was. Not like the doorstops of old.

        I would heartily recommend a Trezor. There is nothing quite like stashing a few coins away every now and then and seeing it mount up. The non touchscreen ones are 50 eurosish and they take crypto so it's a win win!

        I wouldn't mind finding a music shop in the UK that took crypto. That would be me rekt!

          I remember as a child looking up phone numbers in the phone book with interest to call friends or relatives. Now that almost everyone has mobile phones, the use of the phone directory seems outdated. However, I understand that it can still be a useful source of information for some people.

          As for wallets with card slots, I have never understood why they are needed. I've never had the need for such wallets, and I'm not sure they really help organize finances. Maybe someday I'll try using such a wallet, but I don't see the point yet.

          As for buying music equipment, I really believe that sometimes it is worth investing in quality equipment. This can significantly improve the sound quality and overall experience of listening to music. However, I also understand that this is not always necessary, and there are many ways to enjoy music without spending a lot of money.

            I really need to look into an external wallet like that. However, I don;t hold enough crytpo to make it worth the squeeze. Guess I need to fix that.

                I'll start by buying some small amounts of different cryptocurrencies to see how they perform. If I find any that show potential, I might invest more in them. It's important to diversify my portfolio to manage risk. Additionally, I'll research and compare different wallets to find the one that best suits my needs.

                      They sold out in minutes and I missed it. Then they mailed and said their payment processor failed and they're was some been in so I managed to nab one. I think they were 159 euros. Same price as the regular Safe 5.

                      It's quite swish, I like it!

                                  You've skyrocketed my consumerism!

                                  I think I'll buy one of these trinkets even if I don't have millions of Bitcoins, lol!

                                  In any case, here in Italy, telephone directories still exist but they are really thin now, once they were giant and very heavy Tomes; also, to have it you have to request it while in the past it was delivered to your home whether you wanted it or not, lol!

                                    That's the thing. Once you have one of these beauties you are almost guaranteed to get millions of bitcoins!!

                                    They had thin ones here for a while but they got thinner and thinner when just disappeared!

                                      Good game today auld stock. Ye were looking formidable for a while, but we managed to beat ye in the end. Hopefully Ireland can go on for the grandslam now. Only Ireland can do it now, so they'll all be out to do us!

                                      She had that face on, the one that spells trouble downstairs and naughty high jinks upstairs. Given that we were on the lowest level of the house I could be in a bit of bother.

                                      🤣🤣

                                      Right I better steady myself. 3pm drinking is all good and well, but ive a Superbowl to try and stay up for. Let's see how that goes!
