Celebrity endorsement of men in heels by David Bekham and Victoria Bekham (of their kid so I suppose it reduces the value of the endorsement a bit). Still.
Good find.

Very true. I'm leaving Saturday.

Haha! Rhetorically that makes sense. In reality though, yesterday's air raid siren would beg to differ.

Thanks. Leaving tomorrow. The city is truly back to 60%. Had lunch at a Greek restaurant today. Every table in the sidewalk cafe was filled.

I moved to Kyiv, Ukraine in July 2021. I chose Kyiv because it was cheap and because the girl to guy ratio greatly favors men in Kyiv. A "7" in Kyiv would qualify as an "8" almost anywhere else in the world. Contrary to even my own expectations, women in Kyiv were quite accommodating towards my style preferences. I had so many girls and so many dates, it became tiresome, literally.
But Putin had different plans for me. On Feb. 24th I woke up to loud explosions outside my window. I immediately went outside and it was traffic jams, people frantically packing their cars, elevators were crammed, panic everywhere. The loud sound of air raid sirens filled the air. Despite offering the 1/10 Ubers I could hail that morning $1K to drive me to Lviv, everyone said no. The airport was shut, the roads were clogged, there were no car rentals available, no car pools available, nothing. Fortunately, we found a driver from Lutsk, west Ukraine to drive 4 hours to pick us up. On the 26th after crossing 15KM of car lines, I passed the border into Poland. Alive. Touched by war.
I visited Kyiv back in April. It was quite dark. Road blocks everywhere, military suspicious of everyone. As soon as I exited the train, an officer asked for my passport. Because I had done business in Moscow in the past, I was detained for about an hour. Talk about being scared. Eventually they let me go, but they were NOT friendly towards me at all.
Now I'm back in Kyiv again to assess the situation. I'd say the city is 60% back to normal. Anti tank hedgehogs are everywhere still, sand bags forming military check points are everywhere still, but not all in use. Today an air raid siren rang loudly in AM. People just went about their business here though. Borispol International airport isn't open yet, so it takes a solid 24 hours to commute into our out of the city now. Hardly the efficiency I seek. Not even the sheer number of hot girls can make up for the commute time or create enough reward to outweigh the safety risks.
Attached is a photo from Christmas time of me and a friend enjoying each others company. In Kyiv. Even publicly, general responses in Kyiv before the war to a man in heels were non-existent. People saw, but didn't care.

80 MM ankle boots for men, by Alessandro Vasini
https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfv8R1WssYq/
Story being sold on Vasini's site about the shoe indicates consumer demand prompted creation of the boot for men. Don't know if it's true, but does it even matter?
Quote"With a modern and sexy silhouette and a vintage vibe the JANIS boot was originally created by Alessandro as the ultimate women's ankle boot. After many requests and special orders is finally available in men's sizes as well"

Heels for ants. Views for giants. Positano, Italy.
I've recently taken a liking to Carel France. Handmade in Italy, France or Spain. The quality is superb. The girls love them too.

Coming in to update this thread.
I haven't worked in over a year.
Bought BTC at 5K-10K. Sold at 28K and 55K
Bought ETH at 150-200. Sold at 3.3K
Bought another alt coin at $150 USD in 12/19. Sold for 10.5K USD in August 2021
Haven't worked in a year. And still got suites in Positano, private boat tours in Lake Como, and despite what everyone thinks now about crypto being dead again, I'm living my best life ever now.
For what it's worth, I think until the US Federal Reserve pivots their position on Quantitative Tightening *and* inflation peaks, it'll be hard to call a broader market bottom. For the short term, I believe Bitcoin may have achieved a "local" bottom. This is not a broader generational bottom. So I'm still all cash for now.
I look forward to selling at projected market peak in Q4 2024.

This is my final good bye post for hhplace, in the remote chance it'll impacty anyone reading.
First, we live in an increasingly decentralized world. Instead of relying on centralized sources for information, a new social media world that is very LGBTQ friendly, with way more protections than exist here has blossomed since 2006. Social media is very LGBTQ friendly. The protections are like an umbrella and spill over to men who wear heels. In 2006, there weren't many online community options for men who wear heels as men. In 2020, there doesn't even need to be special options anymore. Men in heels in such an integrated part into society's expectation for what is normal, it's astonishing. And the information is decentralized. On Instagram a search for the #heelsformen hashtag pulls up 2,256, #meninheelsevent hashtag pulls up 128 posts and #meninheels pulls up 64,803 posts. On TikTok a search for #meninheels, pulls up 50.5 million views. That's 33,180 views per day on average since TikTok's inception in September of 2016. Why spend time creating content for hhplace when I could create content for my own audience and possibly even monetize it, or at worst, get free product?
Second, on a more specific forum note, locking up JeffB's thread was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Locking up Thighbootguy's thread set the stage. Cancel Culture times two, literally. In 2006, hhplace's landing page used to say, "Whether you're a man, a woman, or in between, whether you wear high heels yourself or just like the looks of them. It doesn't matter, you've come to the right place". How times have changed.
Some may rationalize this is a forum for both men and women. It's like because that's what they say, they reality follows. That is not the case at all. The reality is men create the bulk of content that creates the page views, page clicks, and what little advertising revenue this site generates. And with the huge number of options available to females in the digital age, the probability they'll plant a flag at hhplace is low. That's the reality. For me, Tech's bat bashing, bull in a china shop mouth is no longer worth tolerating. He has never taken personal responsibility for his bat bashing, bull in a china shop mouth. He will no doubt say I'm being too sensitive, or misinterpreting his statements, or find some way to point the finger back at me. I guarantee it. Yo man, take responsibility for your reckelss mouth. The pattern hasn't changed since 2006. Tech rocks the boat when there is no need to rock the boat. Besides his professional contributions to keeping the site running, his unruly mouth knows no bottom.
I'm not going to build someone elses audience, page views, page clicks when my voice means little to such a reckless mouth.
May hhplace live well on into the future. I wish no ill will on anyone here, but after nearly 20 years here, multiple in Real Life Heel Meets, and lots of evangelizing, my time here has expired.
Best,
Kneehighs

In my opinion, a New World Order (New World Money Paradigm) is coming within the decade. The Dutch Guilder wasn't the global reserve forever. Neither was the British Pound. And if you measure the time between major events in the US, an average human life cycle of about 80 years separates them all:
American Revolution (excess taxation)--->human life cycle
Civil War (money printing to finance war)-->human lifecycle
Great Depression/WW2/Bretton Woods [Bretton Woods is where the US Dollar became the global reserve currency]-->human life cycle
COVID-19/2020
I hope everyone is paying attention here. Your buying power is at risk of being eaten alive by the coming Central Bank Digital Currency movement.
Central Bank Digital Currencies are quickly becoming the norm of international innovation. Instead of monetizing debt on government's balance sheets, money will literally just be printed at the press of a button. Instead of waiting for opposing political parties to legislate stimulus for the people, Central Banks can bypass lengthy bureaucratic red tape, press a button, and like magic, a new stimulus deposits into a recipients mobile phone app. China is way ahead of the US in structuring theirs. China could say to all foreign corporations, "if you want access to our economy, you must do business in our Central Bank Digital Currency"
Government surveillance of spending will be unprecedented. Behavioral economics, not the free market economy, will play a massive role in Central Bank monetary policy decisions. If Trump wins, I am prepared for a more nationalistic US "Fed Coin". If Biden wins, I am prepared for a more internationally cooperative Central Bank Digital Currency, pegged to a basket of global currencies, like what The International Monetary Fund called for with a new Bretton Woods.
Cryptocurrency may very well play a role in undermining Central Bank Digital Currency surveillance and control mechanisms. If the West takes the position that economic opportunity is best served by a decentralized free market, that traditional banks can build layers of service on top of decentralized financial blockchains, that the true freedom that symoblizes Western liberties is best served by decentralized foundations--then there's hope for the West to come out on top in this new era. But if traditional banks get greedy and want to lobby against the decentralized financial community, they might be putting the US global financial leadership at risk.
This will unfold in the 2020's.

Risk management bullet point? If Trump contests the election, be prepared for sharp sell offs in risk assets (risk off environment).

What's wrong with the old gold? It's durable, has many practical uses, has great brand recognition - everyone's heard of it - a long history, universal acceptance and it's pretty...
Nothing wrong with gold at all. I've said it many times in past posts. If demand for Gold goes up, it's supply will increase as miners will do more work. Unlike Gold, Bitcoin's total supply can be independenlty audited at anytime by anyone. https://www.blockchain.com/explorer And unlike Gold, Bitcoin's supply is fixed.

What's wrong with getting rich quickly if you know how to manage risk? It took Gold 3259 days, or 107 months, or almost 9 years to break it's old All Time High established in September of 2011. Plus, Gold dropped 45% in nominal value during that period.

The new gold will be Bitcoin.

I agree with that. It's about a difference between buying power and intrinsic value. There is a difference.
Some creative Venezuelans were making bags from worthless notes. I'd trade for that!

Bailey still promoting a false narrative that bitcoin needs to have intrinsic value to act as a medium of exchange
Unless it's a tree to live in, or a fruit to eat, or an orange to squeeze juice from, a commodity does not have true intrinsic value.
And bitcoin is a scarce digital commodity.
A paper euro, pound or dollar bill either derives it's value from Government laws and military force or by social consensus. It's value is purely extrinsic.
You could even make the argument that a Venezuelan Bolivar has more intrinsic value than a USD b/c you can at least use the paper to wipe up a mess on a floor.

John McAfee gets prosecuted
Uncertainty about new US stimulus. Uncertainty about US election outcome.
UK bans derivatives trading for crypto (stupid move considering futures are a key part of risk management. Why not ban all futures?)
Yet Jack Dorsey CEO of Square invests 50 Million of Square's treasury into Bitcoin and the crypto market goes UP.
Considering The global reserve currency (USD), The global reserve asset (US Treasury), and Euro will be devalued even more in the coming few years, Bitcoin and precious metals (Silver and Gold mostly) provide the best Risk to Reward ratio among any asset class in existence

The last week has been incredibly tumultuous for crypto markets.
150 Million Dollars were hacked from an Asian Exchange, KuCoin.
BitMex, the leading derivatives platform for crypto globally was prosecuted by the US Government
President Trump tested Positive for COVID 19.
In all this, one would expect another March Black Swan capitulation sell off of 30%+
Yet the crypto market has barely even slumped 4%
This means demand for crypto is so high right now, it's able to keep price up despite all the tragic news.
Long term bullish. Mid term bullish. Short term neutral.

Those are definitely Instagram-worthy pictures, and in addition, the location is actually interesting. I had no idea there were "abandoned" places on Long Island!
I have had similar misgivings about wearing heels riding a motorbike. I don't know what actual machine you had, but I would not hesitate to wear heels on a scooter (auto transmission with floorboards, rather than footpegs). I really don't enjoy riding a traditional motorcycle, the kind that has footpegs and you shift the gears yourself, in heels. It sounds kind of exciting in theory, but the reality doesn't live up to the fantasy.
Abandoned places in Long Island City. Long Island City is the western most part of Queens. It’s distinct from Long Island. It’s a very common misconception so don’t feel bad.
Regarding the moped type, it was auto transmission with floor boards. While I I’ve worn heels solo, not only did I have a passenger but I also planned a lot of rough terrain walking for our outing. So no heels yesterday.
-
Finally starting to explore the city a bit more since the March lockdowns took effect.
While I've been out a few times for dinner, today marked the first time I actually went out for 2 days back to back. We rode a moped from Long Island City Queens to DUMBO, Brooklyn...then back to Long Island City. In between, we explored some abandoned subway cars in an abandoned rail yard in Long Island City. Wearing heels with a passenger wasn't worth the safety risk. But I did wear my women's patent flats for which she complimented me.
She obliged my request to bring her patent stiletto pumps along though, which made for some excitement.
EDIT: the bottom photo was actually taken within view of the Manhattan skyline. It's in a totally obscure location in Long Island City in an abandoned rail track for the MTA.

Well wouldn't you know. CEO of Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Mester, "Legislation has proposed that each American have an account at the Fed in which digital dollars could be deposited, as liabilities of the Federal Reserve Banks, which could be used for emergency payments"

But why not create a misalignment between supply and demand across time! We got the FED committed to infinite liquidity, committed to low (possibly negative even) interest rates, and even committed to inflation! The longer this goes on, the greater will be the adjustment to realign output with demand to return the economy to sustainable economic growth with rising standards of living. Negative rates just create misalignment between demand and output. No bueno!
At least there's hope though! 35,000 publicly traded companies carry a total of 5 TRILLION in spare cash (Apple anyone?). It's literally their fiduciary responsibility to preserve the purchasing power of their moolah. It took MicroStrategy (MSTR) 6 months to authorize and complete their purchase of 425 Million USD of Bitcoin. So if other boardrooms take 9-12 months to approve and buy Bitcoin with just 1% of that 5T cash war chest, Bitcoins market cap would go to 2 Trillion.
A boy can dream!

ETH merge will be a massive "sell the news event". It's scheduled for September 19th
Once ETH hits 2.2K, I'll start taking profits. (was all cash June 20, but flipped *very short term* bull). Don't care if I sell too early. I never regret taking profits, especially in a bear market relief rally. This rally will reverse. Once we hear everyone say the bear market is finally over, that's when the rally reverses.
Was thinking about taking a small gamble position in $SHIB for giggles. Maybe it pumps near end of this relief rally
