    I like golf.

    It’s super challenging, which I find fun. I like that I can slowly get better at it and watch myself progress but probably never really master it. Plus, it’s a really great way to get outside and do something with some friends or even some strangers.

    I hate the elitist, racist, and sexist origins of the game but, like all bad ideas they’re becoming extinct. Sexism and racism have been pretty much eradicated from the sport compared to the time of it’s inception.

    I play on courses that are reasonably priced and open to anyone and I have plenty of options. I’m not even remotely wealthy and neither are any of the people I play with. Equipment can be expensive but it doesn’t have to be.

    Almost every passtime requires some space and often some level of infrastructure needs to be built and maintained. Think about swimming pools and hockey rinks, not to mention giant stadiums built for only a few professional teams to play in. Hardly anyone is mad about those things, and the list goes on.

    I get hating the rich. I get hating something because it’s perceived as something that only rich people do but that’s not really the reality here. Sure, rich people play golf but only about a quarter of courses are private so maybe there are actually way more poors like me playing. What do you think?


  • It depends on what exactly you are intending to do. Ethereum might not be out of the question. While it’s true that under certain circumstances transaction fees can get quite high, at the moment they are quite reasonable and have been for quite some time. They tend to only shoot up to outrageous levels during a bull market or when something get’s hyped up and released on the chain. Other than that it usually ok. The thing about other, cheaper chains is that they tend to be less secure. You never know when something unforeseen might happen which could cost you money. Not that Ethereum is immune to that sort of thing but it does have a pretty decent track record in that regard.

    To try to actually answer your question, I think Solana has pretty cheap transactions. Maybe cardano. Binance chain, Tron, Avalanche, the list goes on. The only problem is, there isn’t a heck of a lot going on on these chains so far.
