This really captures the reality of longevity, at least in US culture. Whether or not blue zones are verifiable or real, the ingredients to statistical longevity are well understood to minimally include: eat better and maintain a level of fitness.

Those are not easy to do when laziness, sedentary device time and fast food options are just so easily available. So instead, we end up with frozen meals that almost certainly don't contain the same nutrients and definitely don't include the same effort as having to prepare a meal by hand while walking about the kitchen.

Medicine has extended longevity, but the relative ease of our senior years is perhaps robbing us of the quality of that bonus time.

Social media has been a transparent race to the bottom for many years. The sooner it is shittified beyond repair the better. AI flooding content to them should help speedrun its descent, or maybe I’ve giving the average user (above child age) too much credit.

If BTC is the exact opposite of gold, it follows that Eth, Ripple, USDC, etc are all more gold-like than BTC. I'd be interested to hear why you believe that to be true.

BTC is a coin with longer investments and does not fluctuate as much as other cryptocoins (by %). It has a known supply (past, present and future) and predictable mining rate. It has a known finite future supply cap.
