 My most recent big stupidity is to do with Genopets. I put way too much sol into the project. I think I still felt the confusion of suddently seeing the eggs on secondary, several months ago, appearing out of nowhere (as far as I was concerned) for a lot of sol. I had that terrible feeling of missing out on something. I'm not even sure how the genesis genopets were minted. No influencers were talking about them.

I made the first 27 sol quite quickly, then disaster struck. If only the idiots held off doing the China Fud for a couple of extra weeks I might be in a better position. To be honest, I recently felt like throwing the towel in, selling all the shoes (except 2 of the shoes would require some extensive repairs before I could sell them, not sure if it would be profitable...
