To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Maybe he is a smart cookie that invested in BTC 3 or 4 years ago...

And is now rubbing it in your face with his LTC farm.
