Shiver Me Timbers!

Y’Arrrr Maties!

(I have snaffued me some more fine art!)

There is much adventure, scallywagging and purloining of goods to be accomplished when ye sail under the skull&bones. And when it comes to looting the booty shops, or “ships” as it were, (ahem) this ol’ pirate’s advice is to: take all ye can and give nuffin back!

Such was the case — and indeed “in” the case — when i went out marauding a few days ago. I dispatched two ships to their watery grave, but not before recovering some shiny treasure from amongst the flotsam & jetsam. Now i believe ol’ Elizardbreath II may cite some maritime law and request the return of my findings (if she actually knew what i was up to) but alas, that lass has no eyes nor spies aboard the good ship: the Ingot

Ahhhh, it warms me cockles on a cold winter day to see my darling looking so shiny and bright!

Although i saw my cockswain earlier and he looked none too pleased! 😳😜🤣 he must’ve been pissed, ‘cause there was one sailor who wasn’t arising this morn! A pity too, ‘cause he may just miss seeing the final piece of my ensemble from our most recent campaign. Feast yer barnacles on this beauty!

Y’arrr Harrr! A gorgeous commemorative from an erstwhile colony of Her Majesty, Queen of Beasts, octogenarian, and the reptillian overlord from a galaxy far, far away! And even if she may live to be 1,000 years old she would have to first find me, and then find my stash, and then take it by force before she could be reunited with her shiny trove. Admittedly her fancy stamps (or printed fiat notes) work well within the “Queen”-dom but these empty promises are being increasingly revealed for their true value with every ounce of the shiny that is purchased using these barbarous relics of the past. (This ⤵️ is by design and not by mistake)

Thankfully, i have put in the time and learned the ropes, and now, I am the captain of my own ship, lord of my financial destination and CEO of my own bank which is heartily capitalized and has no liabilities. Gold, Silver, Cryptocurrency (and some weed in reserve) is what is backing the Ingot. And as long as i can stay out of debt i am free to sail whenever and wherever i so choose.

Get a hold of some o the good stuff and you can be your own bank too! It’s not too late to be amongst the lucky ones — the one’s that hold real value and need not employ expensive third parties to accomplish the most basic of transactions: Tit for Tat is far better than paying tax for stax (or indeed, paying anything towards that amoral machine).
