Now, my latest multi-billion dollar idea, for sale to the highest bidder: Crypto-Biz-Mal (or: Crypto-bysmal).
The serious antacid for the crypto enthusiast who is tired of butterflies in his stomach.
"Now with a little added hint of fentanyl so you can ride the crypto-roller-coaster like a pro...".
Look, I came up with the f***** name, you can do a little bit of the marketing.
Just pay me for the bloody name...

An ugly word to describe physical beauty.
I mean, sound it out, it can't mean that, can it?
Nevertheless it does. Perhaps a backhanded way to describe a beautiful woman one doesn't particularly like...

Home: A curious word with no synonym. I mean - home, it has an internal resonance, it confers a sense of belonging, comfort, place.
Yet we've replaced it largely with words like "Apartment" and "House" - words that describe the style of our accommodation, but not our intrinsic relationship with it. An "apartment", "duplex", "condo", "house", these are places where we live, but they confer no warmth or intimacy.
Searching I've concluded that there seems to be no synonym for it.
Consider Love. There are a wide variety of synonyms, it's gradients, there's fondness, affection, like, limerence, crush - all implying some shade of love.
But there's no place - or synonym - for Home.

Now this was a stray thought that came out of nowhere - the tale of the Elves and the Shoemaker. Which is a bit of a "WTF", but it must have come out of my disjointed half-remembered dreams. Anyways, if you're not familiar with it you can read it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elves_and_the_Shoemaker
Anyways, completely out of the blue, and so I googled it this morning, wondering "WTF", and it's pretty much the tale I remembered, and the "epiphany" - if you can call it that - is that the shoemaker simply slept on his problems and his dreaming (unconscious) mind solved them for him.
Bizarre.
