Damn, how did Bitcoin suddenly skyrocket? The other night I called for a short when it crashed, and then it started rising. It’s still rising to this point.
Bitcoin has fallen way too hard, and there hasn't been any bad news. It's just been dropping and dropping. At least I lost all my money—otherwise I would've been liquidated again.
Over the past couple of days, someone else in our village has gotten divorced. The girl got married into our village more than three years ago and had two daughters. Then her husband and her mother-in-law kept pressuring her to have a son. She didn’t want to, thinking the family is too poor and raising two daughters is already difficult. So her mother-in-law pressured her husband to divorce her. Then she took both daughters and left. It seems that this family will have no more heirs, because the man is already 35—he’s overweight, has started losing his hair, and is ugly too. He probably won’t be able to find a wife.
There’s an information post in our village—right by the bridge. Every day, when people eat, they sit there with their bowls in hand. As long as it’s not pouring rain, there’s always someone there. Everyone spends their days chatting and bragging; whatever happens in the village spreads right away. If someone’s wife runs off with another man, or if someone’s sow has little piglets, or if someone’s chickens get bitten by a dog, everyone knows it.
