I was in the “he needs to let it go” camp for the last 10 years. You know what? I’m changing sides. I choose to live in the timeline where garbage bitcoin man buys the dump and proves everyone wrong. He earned it

I neglected to mention in the comment that the chickens I’m looking at are of the Ayam Cemani breed, which are pure black, including their organs. They’re pretty coveted, so I was surprised that even those are very cheap!
