SOUTH AFRICA, YOU LITTLE BEAUTY 🇿🇦❤️For the last few years, I have been deeply frustrated with the state of our nation, but then I started traveling all over the country, and my view of things became more balanced. Today I want to celebrate the good things about South Africa, and there is a lot of good!
When I really think about it, I love this country to death. It's just our government that I'm not a big fan of. We have so many incredible features to celebrate as a nation, and I'd like to remind you of some of them today:
1. South Africans are just lekker. Yes, there are always a few bad apples, but on the overall, we are a resilient bunch who have managed to stay friendly and optimistic, despite all the things we have to deal with.
I can personally tell you, as someone who travels overseas a lot internationally, whenever I come back home, the warmth of our people is distinct. We take everything in our stride, we always have a smile on our face, and we always make a plan (sometimes to a fault).
2. Our weather and climate are near impossible to beat. Very few countries around the world get to enjoy sunshine the way we do. We don't really have four seasons. It's more like summer for eight months, then mostly spring with winter before 10am and after 5pm for about two months 🤣
3. We have the most incredible natural beauty across the country. Again, I can tell you from personal experience, and as someone who has traveled South Africa flat, we are blessed beyond what we realise. And I'm not just talking about Cape Town 🖐️
Every little city and town across the country has such a unique flavour. Our garden route should be labeled as the 9th wonder of the world. The Karoo is breathtaking. Our mountain passes are majestic. Our many bush lodges make every foreigner wish they lived here. And our wine farms are best in class around the world. It certainly doesn't hurt that our wine is cheap compared to the rest of the world either!
I could literally write a book as to why I am proudly South African, but for time sake I will just say this:
✅ Despite all our problems, we never say die, and we always make a plan. We work hard, we play hard, and we laugh A LOT!
✅ May our South African spirit never die, even when the very government that is meant to protect us does the very opposite.
✅ We are South African. Loud and proud. Anyone who's lived abroad knows this, especially when you bump into other South Africans around the world!
So I guess what I'm trying to say is... Happy Heritage Day 🇿🇦❤️

@nntaleb BTC is behaving exactly as I would expect it to behave since it’s creation. You can price goods with it. Right now though, what you’re buying and who you’re buying from is what doesn’t make sense to most, but soon, it will.
