What's the key to happiness? The answer: Skycoin!

  
    Welcome back to my Skycoin blog everyone! My name is Tommy "TommyGun" Stiles and I'm living the Skycoin life. It's here on this blog that I like to tell everyone about my journey with Skycoin, how it has changed my life, and how it gave me the opportunity to become independently wealthy. When I'm not blogging, I am usually having fun, hanging out with friends and family, or just relaxing. One thing I'm definitely not doing though is working. That part of my life is over, all thanks to Skycoin. Now I basically just spend my time making myself happy. When I was broke, making myself happy was difficult.

    For instance, I love snow, but when I was pinching pennies, I couldn't enjoy it. I didn't have enough money for a decent snowboard, let alone enough money for the $800 ski pass. I had to get creative to have fun. Looking back, I should have been embarrased: Crazy Pete and I sledding down the nearby park hill, barely passing up the 8-year-olds on their brand new sleds, as I tried to gather momentum in Crazy Pete's homemade sled (a nearly emptied out litter box). Sometimes, the ways I found to enjoy myself were downright shameful. I mean, I'm not proud of making my girlfriend use her oversized purse to sneak a 2 liter of coke and a couple bags of freshly popped microwave popcorn into the movie theater. She was a trooper about it, although her initial suggestion was for me to keister it in case they did a search.

"If you buy the tickets, I'll bring the watermelon"

    Now thanks to Skycoin, I have enough money to enjoy a snow day to it's fullest. I have a pass to every single ski resort in Colorado and it didn't even make a dent in my bank account. I bought all the best snowboard gear and got the snowboard I always wanted: the Burton Black Widow. Over the past couple days, the slopes have been slammed with some fresh powder so I decided to meet up with a couple friends today so we could do some snowboarding. You all know Andrew, the snowboarding friend that I helped invest in Skycoin within a matter of minutes. We were to meet at a cool little place called Rocky Mountain High Pizza and Grill for a quick bite before we hit the slopes. He was bringing his roommate Chris, who has also been my friend for several years.
   
    All three of us agreed that today was going be "guy time," which was a subtle way of saying that we were all going to ditch our girlfriends for the day. With Katey, it's no problem. I just tell her, "I'm going to be having 'guy time' today. If you want to get together with your girlfriends, take the BMW and the American Express and go crazy." For Andrew, it's a little different. His girlfriend is not quite as understanding as Katey. She thinks that his job counts as "guy time" and the rest of his time is "girlfriend time". The poor guy always has to make up an excuse just to get away for a few hours. Last time we went snowboarding, I posted a picture of him coming down the slope on Facebook. Within minutes he approached me, "Dude! My girlfriend just texted me asking me how I could be helping you paint your garage if I'm snowboarding!" Whoops, my bad.
 

"Honey, take the credit card and car and.... Honey?"

     I actually left the house when I wanted to this morning, but I hit the dreaded Friday traffic jam on I-70, so of course, I ended up being late to lunch. As I walked in, I spotted them in the corner, already scarfing down some fish and fries. "Hey guys! Don't worry about waiting for me. It only took me an hour to get here." Their response wasn't exactly one of apology or guilt. "You snooze you lose bro," Chris instantly retorted. I suddenly turned into Cartman from South Park blurting out in that voice, "I hate you guys." A commercial played on the TV for the local sporting goods store, and although it was on mute, the humongous red letters flashing "15% Storewide Sale" made the message very clear.
     Chris suggested that we go there to see if they have any good snowboards in stock. "Chris, I have a much better sale than that for you," I urged him. "Have you bought any Skycoin yet?" He gave me a confused look, so I figured it was time break it down for him. I explained that he could buy a snowboard at the supposed sale of price of 15% less than MSRP and that in a year it would be worth less than half of what he paid. Then I show him how I bought some Skycoin for $1 only seven months ago, and now its worth 23X that price. "So what do you think is a better deal?" I asked him without trying to sound condescending. I swear, I'm getting so good at spreading the Skycoin life that I got him to set up Cryptopia and Coinbase accounts before we were done with lunch. Instead of blowing his money on another snowboard he didn't need, I got him to invest that money in Skycoin instead. I know he is going to thank me for it later. When the price goes up and his investment skyrockets, he'll be living the Skycoin life too. Like he said, "You snooze, you lose!"
