Yeah smartass me and Peracles thought we had this all figured out months ago when I started getting solicitations galore in my inbox to learn all about the blockchain revolution in Meetups with hors'deouvres and entertainment: just another pyramid scam, this one attached to a glorified  ledger system that eats energy like a monster in a post WWII Japanese science fiction movie.

But then,  and I haven't informed him yet, I'm breaking it now: I read this Feb. 2 article about Puertopia.Making a Crypto Utopia in Puerto Rico, and in it I read: live in the Caribbean but very close to the mainland with other English speakers around who are weird but more than tolerable, pay really cheap rent, eat cheap good food  stay a citizen, but pay zero federal taxes, private electricity and water, private airports being built, libertine attitudes, and I'm going: how am I going to convince them that I adore them and that their ideas are really awesome and they really really need this old lady?  Teach me your crypto lingo, dudes! I'll be glad to sit at a computer all day if there's a breeze coming from the open French doors since I already do in a lousy climate. Ain't gonna bad mouth them no more, keeping all options open.
