🐐🐐🐐 It’s my birthday. I don’t mind getting older because there’s never been a period in my life when I haven’t looked back at myself a decade earlier and thought, “Man, I was a real idiot back then.”

Big shoutout to all my fellow Capricorns too, especially those born this week. If you know someone with a birthday in between Xmas and NYE, give them some special love. Us holiday sandwich babies have lived a life of deprivation filled with consolidated presents and missed parties. It’s enough to drive a child to crave attention so desperately they do awful things, like become a performer, fish for validation on social media, or start a newsletter.

Speaking of, I’m taking the week off from doing a full-on Rubesletter. If you’re really jonesing for Quality Content™️, check out last week’s best of 2021 edition.

And if you wanna get me something, a subscription is the perfect gift. I’ll even give ya 20% off your first year…

In the meanwhile, ere’s a Vooza flashback video all about being crypto cool, Lambos, and Elon Musk. #buythedip

(Here’s a version with captions if you wanna watch with sound off.)

See ya next year,
Matt
