The road that could make me rich / お金持ちになれそうな道 - My Actifit Report Card: December 6 2024

（日本語は後半にあります）

【English】

The leaves of the gingko trees in the row of trees have finally turned bright yellow!

This row of trees, which is within walking distance from my house, seems to be lined with only male trees, and none of them bear fruit here. Thanks to this, there is no unpleasant smell peculiar to fallen gingko trees, and I can enjoy the autumn leaves while taking a walk. Today, too, I walked slowly while taking pictures.

Whenever I walk along this row of trees at this time of year, I always think that it is a path that seems to make me feel like I am going to be rich. I have taken the liberty of naming it the “golden road” in my mind.

Yesterday bitcoin broke the $100,000 mark for the first time. Although my own unrealized gains have increased somewhat, my feelings are a bit mixed. This is not only because I don't have many bitcoins, but also because I had some in the past and sold them 😂

I don't know if I've written about this on Hive yet, but my interest in bitcoin came at a time when I was at my wits' end after a failed career change that had significantly reduced my income. Looking back, I think it would have been possible to turn things around, but I didn't have the energy to do so, and I am basically a very negative person, so I thought that I was no longer on the regular career path, and that sense of defeat, frustration, or despair is what turned my interest in bitcoin I think it was this sense of defeat, frustration, and despair that led me to Bitcoin.

At first, I had no intention of making money with bitcoin at all. I was just buying bitcoin little by little as a good luck charm or my own peace of mind. However, I was so dazzled by the steady price increase that I sold them all by the end of 2016. I bought some back a few years later, but not nearly as much as my previous holdings...so I was a little frustrated yesterday when bitcoin broke $100,000.

But I think that such frustration was drowned out a bit when I was walking this “golden road”. It's not that I lost money, I bought $ST××M with the money I sold bitcoin at that time, and that's how I got to Hive now.

The road to riches may not be as straight as this row of trees, but I hope that I can gradually become richer, even if I have to take a few detours.

This morning I walked the “golden road” and in the evening I walked to the supermarket to buy spinach and fish cakes. The number of steps I took was just over 5,000.

Tonight's dinner is ozoni😉

並木の銀杏の葉が、ついに真っ黄色になりました！

家から歩いて行ける距離にあるこの並木は、雄株だけが並んでいるようで実をつける木がありません。おかげで落ちた銀杏特有の嫌な臭いもなく、紅葉を楽しみながら散歩することができます。今日も写真を撮りながらゆっくりと歩きました。

この時期のこの並木を歩くといつも思うのが、なんだかお金持ちになれそうな道だなぁということです。自分の中で勝手に「黄金の道」と名づけています。

昨日はビットコインが初めて10万ドルの大台を突破しました。私自身の含み益も多少増えてはいるものの、気持ちは少し複雑です。というのも、ただ単にビットコインをあまり持っていないというだけならまだしも、昔持っていたのに売ってしまったから😂

Hiveにまだ書いたことはなかったかもしれませんが、私がビットコインに興味を持ったのは、転職に失敗して大幅に年収ダウンして、途方にくれていた時期でした。今思えばいくらでも巻き返しは可能だったと思うのですが、その元気がなかったのと、基本的に大変ネガティブな性格なので「自分はもうキャリアパスの正規ルートから外れてしまった」と考えており、その敗北感というか挫折感というか、絶望感？みたいなものが、私の関心をビットコインに向かわせたのだと思います。

当初ビットコインで稼ごうとか儲けようとかいった気持ちは全くなく、ただ自分の心の安定というか、お守り代わりに少しずつ買っていた感じです。しかしあまりの順調な価格上昇に途中で目が眩み、全部売ってしまったのでした。数年後に少し買い戻しはしたものの、当初の保有量には遠く及ばず・・・そんなわけで、ビットコインの10万ドル突破が少々悔しかった昨日です。

でもそんな悔しさも、この「黄金の道」を歩いていたら少し紛れた気がします。別に損したわけじゃないし、あの時ビットコインを売ったお金で$ST××Mを買って、そのおかげで今Hiveに辿り着けたわけだし。

お金持ちへの道はこの並木みたいにまっすぐではないかもしれないけれど、寄り道しながらでも少しずつ豊かになっていければいいかな、なんて思った朝でした。

今朝は「黄金の道」を歩き、夕方ほうれん草とかまぼこを買うためスーパーまで歩きました。歩数はちょうど5,000歩超え。今日の晩御飯はお雑煮です。
