In Celebration of the proverbial “embarrassment of riches” our Smurfing the New Normal Fam has made together over the last 15 months since Changa's January 2023 call on bitcoin, we are
CELEBRATING AT SEA!
If you put as little as $1000 into our picks, you covered the cruise and also put away a tidy 3k for grownup responsible stuff like bills and bug out cabins or…. more investments! And some of you? Well, let's just say work is now an elective option for you going forwards! You magnificent Beasts! 😀
Dinner is served, for YOU!
It ain't much, but it's HONEST :)
If 2024 is as profitable as we think It'll be, will you join us next time?
When, and Where to?

Bon Voyage
and to you awesome new paid subs..
WELCOME ON BOARD!
Day 3:
Your Coffee is served!
Hey, how about those cruisers who decorate their doors? The family next door to our suite has magnets and Ohio Buckeye stickers all over the door. I happened to be leaving at the same time and asked the guy "hey, what's with all the stickers?" He laughed and said "we bought the unlimited drink package. It's how we can tell which room is ours when we're smashed!"
You KNOW Changa had to do it. As a practical joker, I had to move the stickers two doors down.
We'll see how that goes 😏
Ever wonder how Titanic would look next to Wonder of the Seas, the largest cruise ship ever built that made its maiden voyage recently?
The RMS Titanic was not only the largest passenger ship in the world, but it was the largest ship ever built, back in 1912. But next to a modern-day #cruise ship, it looks like a dinghy .Wonder of the Seas, now the world's largest cruise ship, is five times larger than the Titanic, with an internal volume of 236,857 GT compared to 46,328 GT. With a length of 1,188 feet and a width of 210 feet, Wonder of the Seas is 35% longer and 127% wider than Titanic.Wonder of the Seas can accommodate 9,288 people (of which 6,988 are guests and 2,300 are crew). This is much more than the 2,435 guests and 892 crew members that could be accommodated on board the Titanic.Wonder of the Seas hit the sea for the first time this month.The ship has been under construction for the past three years and left for its first trip out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on March 4.The ship was constructed at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France,

Day 4: Time to Explore!
“I don't normally stray from Dos Equis, but when I do… It's Sands beer, exclusively.” 😀 -Changa
Oops! Shall we explore Cuba without cheap cell service or head on to Jamaica tomorrow?
Let me know in the comments below, and thanks for following along! 😀
Land Ho! CUBA AT LAST!
Last Chance!! Shall Changa take the leap and SWIM TO FREEDOM?
Vote now! Swim to Freedom, or is the US still better ?
I'VE MADE MY DECISION COMPADRES!
Watch Changa chose between Scylla and Sharibdis!! (all without spell check!!):
Skiff alongside just tossed up a satchel of Cuban cigars and we filled it with greenbacks to return the favor.
Let's talk bitcoin, life, and shit that matters on 5th deck. Smoke ‘em if you like, or not. Judgement free zone.
A penny (or satoshi) for your thoughts…
Get some sleep. We're playing with dolphins tomorrow..

Oh well…
STNN members are more resourceful than the average bear. It'll be Irie!
Join Us, as we Voyage
Onwards,
to parts unknown…
The good news is that the best part of the Adventure still lies ahead of us. If history is any guide we are in for the ride of our lives over the next 6- 18 months (*disclaimer: past performance is not a guarantee of future results* (but what the hell else is there to go by? -ed)
Many missed out on the previous crypto bull markets and are getting one last chance.Even though the Bitcoin halving is the primary catalyst that creates bull markets, there are additional forces at work this year.
BIG forces.
And these forces are creating a perfect storm in crypto that could make this one of the biggest bull runs ever.
First of all, the SEC just approved the first-ever spot Bitcoin ETFs… 11 of them to be exact.
These spot Bitcoin ETFs are the first ETFs that allow anyone to buy Bitcoin directly in any brokerage account.
It’s a very big deal.
The Wall Street Journal calls it a “watershed moment for the industry.”The Bitcoin halving event – which, again, is set to hit in April 2024 – will kick off a 12-to-18-month window that is likely to be a blockbuster run for cryptocurrencies.
Perhaps the last great crypto frenzy we see in our lifetimes.
But if you wait too long to get in, you’ll end up buying too high and missing out on the bull run.
In other words, NOW is your last chance.
Already, the crypto market is moving up strongly in preparation for the upcoming Bitcoin halving.
However, I believe the biggest gains are yet to come...
There is reason to believe that the next 12 to 18 months will be one of the greatest bull markets for crypto…
And it could be the last to chance to radically improve your life in a short, 18-month window.
Here’s why…In short, these new ETFs open the floodgates to huge amounts of institutional money that can now flood into the crypto market.
Major players like BlackRock, Fidelity, Invesco, and Wisdom Tree… institutions that control trillions of dollars in wealth… can now help everyday investors easily buy Bitcoin in a normal investment account.
As Forbes points out, this could “enhance liquidity by as much as 10 times.”In short, this moment will make Bitcoin easier to buy for everyone going forward… which will do just one thing.
Dramatically increase demand.
Okay, so now imagine this.
Billions… perhaps trillions… in additional money starts flowing into Bitcoin.
And at the same time… the Bitcoin halving takes place… cutting the production of new coins in half.
What do you think will happen to the price?
The exact same thing that’s happened after every halving… a massive spike.
This is why it’s so important you move now, before the halving on April 22, 2024.
The excitement around crypto is already growing again. And the price of Bitcoin is rising fast.
Every day that passes represents a lost opportunity to claim the biggest gains.
And again, the new Bitcoin ETFs and the halving are just part of the equation.
There are so many catalysts lining up this year… It’s truly the perfect storm.Reuters says it will “throw open the market to millions more investors and draw billions in investment.”Not only is institutional and retail investor money flowing in… but I believe this is the year that major money will start flowing in from governments and central banks around the globe.
By the way..
Ever seen a brilliant satellite move across the entire arc of the pitch black sea sky from the highest deck of a cruise ship, long after hours when the lights are down?
Stunning!
In fact, it’s already happening.
Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, for instance, is now eyeing a $500 billion investment in Bitcoin.Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund is also looking at making Bitcoin a big part of its portfolio.Emerging markets all over the world are turning to Bitcoin because it solves major financial problems for them.
In Argentina, for example, where inflation was 94% last year… Bitcoin was just legalized as payment in contracts.
Argentina has a new president who got elected on stabilizing the country’s runaway inflation.
Bitcoin to Its Portfolio This Year
Because of the stability of the newly approved Bitcoin ETF, I believe that this is the year central banks will start buying Bitcoin too.
A recent survey published in Reuters found that of 86 central banks… 24 of them will have digital currencies over the next few years.In other words, just like central banks bought gold in the past… they are likely to start buying Bitcoin in the future.
Duetsche Bank Research’s analyst believes Bitcoin is set “to become the 21st century gold.”And the central banks seem to agree.
So again, we’re talking about trillions of dollars flowing into Bitcoin here.
You can see why the predictions for Bitcoin have gone sky high.
We’re seeing price targets ranging from $100,000 by Goldman Sachs all the way to $500,000 by Fundstrat’s Tom Lee. And we haven't even touched on alt coins which have orders of magnitude more potential (along with new and different risks. I'll let you research those yourself. Here's one source I like if you want to explore the alt rabbit hole yourself, away from the official excursion group:) https://pro.manwardpress.com/p/HALFTO2YR79MWLLTCBP/PMWL4348/?h=true
Nothing here is for sure, and nothing in Life ever is. You don't play the lottery. You wager intelligently when every damn card you know of is stacked in you favor.
And that's right now.
Our cruise ship could still sink, but it's 1200 ft long, has redundant systems, I've already shared cigars with the Captain and he makes the Dos Equis guy look look incompetent by comparison.
Our ship could sink, but I wouldn't put money on it!
Wishing everyone a proverbial Embarrassment of Riches. I want you better off by this time next year than you are right now.
ENJOY ⛵️
