Talk about STUPID. Those Iraqi politicians are as stupid as ours. 

[NoviceInvestor]

With articles like this it consolidates my thought processes towards ditching the whole Iraqi Dinar intended RV expectation and put my energy in to focusing on crypto — at least on a daily basis in crypto buying and selling there are highs and lows of excitement and the prospect of gains.

At one point I held $10,000 Dollars in Dinar. Now I only hold a little over a million Dinar. I graciously kept 1 million and the gift that was given me by an AMAZING friend and her husband. 

I will never give up on my Dinar holdings completely, no matter how pathetic things appear. If there's one thing I've learned it's that nothing happens according to our schedule. 

 

Just today I made a ton of money off of AMC. And I've no doubt that it's just the beginning. To say nothing of the unspeakable fortune I hold in Silver. 

 

What I'm saying is that EVERYTHING is controlled by evil people. But God is the one in charge. There system is falling apart much faster than they expected. And God is going to provide for his children. 

 

Invest in AMC, Silver and Gold, and Cryptos. And keep what Dinar you still have. As your dear friend I can say that I absolutely believe by the end of the year we will all be very happy.

This is exactly my friend why you and me connected and became friends. 

 

Cheers, you're crazy Canuck buddy

Thank you for your words of encouragement in these uncertain times,  both for you in the US, Afghanistan and particularly for us us in Australia. From one day to the next here we cannot plan our lives as we live around and in lockdowns. Yes your right about holding my Dinar but also the hassle of dragging a ladder inside to climb to where they are is another reason to hang on to them. I was many years younger and fit when I showed them away😀.

Crypto is an extremely rewarding interest for me and an enjoyable one but I tend to be a buy and hold on more than I should but what I have sold I have been more than happy. I like many other hope your years  end prediction is fulfilled. Take care and stay safe an these uncertain times ..
