As some might recall, one of the biggest and most profitable crypto trades that I made was with DGD that I started buying in mid 2017 which I sold in Apr and I finally exited my position in Sep 2018 . I explained my thesis when I sold off my position in Sep 18. Since then, the price of DGD has cratered 43% in ETH and 55% in USD. Won't toot my own horn because everything is in a bear market, but yes, I believe that DGD's issues are not systematic and there are unique problems that it alone has.

That sounds fantastic. It'll be great to never meet such people. I don't like playing the status game AFTER that of comparing cars either. For me, cars is just a mode of transportation. An expensive mode of transportation. That I have to pilot myself. And maintain. Bleah. I actually don't even like driving cars. I rather sit down, play my phone or take a nap, and just be chauffeured around. Does driving spark joy in me? No, it does not. Funny eno...
