alright so everyone thinks they know what a cowboy is. big hat, rides a horse, shoots a gun... basically Clint Eastwood in a poncho. but that's all just movie nonsense, eh. the real story is way grittier and honestly a lot more boring.

first off, the whole "cowboy" golden era was super short. we're talkin like 20 years after the American Civil War, from maybe 1865 to the mid-1880s. that's it. it wasn't some centuries-long tradition. it was a specific job that popped up to move massive herds of cattle from Texas up to Kansas where the railroads were. it was pure economics baby.

and the guys doin the work? they weren't heroes. they were mostly young dudes, a lot of them were black or mexican, just tryin to make a buck. the pay was garbage, the work was brutal... 18-hour days, dust everywhere, stampedes... you get the picture. it was a job for people with not a lot of other options. they weren't sitting around campfires singing songs and having deep thoughts, they were exhausted and probably smelled awful. it was a grind, period.

this whole thing fell apart once the railroads expanded further south and barbed wire was invented. landowners started fencing off thier property and the whole open-range cattle drive thing just... died. it was a wrap.

so what you see in the movies is a complete fabrication, a myth built up to sell a certain idea of America. the reality was a tough, low-paying job that lasted for a blink of an eye. kinda makes you think about all the other narratives people spin today, eh? people would rather buy the Hollywod story than look at the dusty, unglamorous truth. some things never change.

@bitcoinman's bits of wisdom

  • Invest only what you can afford to lose and be mindful of the potential risks.
  • Unless you can accept delivery stay away from futures and stick to physical.
  • Leverage is a great tool for losing money fast.
  • Numismatics for the lows stick to smart stacking baby.
  • Be cautious of new schemes in crypto, like ICOs, DeFi, and NFTs, do your research before investing.
