It has less to do with money and more to do with competence. As an Italian I've learnt the hard way how ignorant and competent there Italian government is from a technical standpoint.
I'm pretty sure everybody says this about their country. I've noticed it's kind of like how everyone thinks their state's/country's weather is uniquely unpredictable.
I've seen people injure themselves doing a handstand, because they skip the part where they learn to bail out when falling forwards. Learn to pirouette or roll before you try free standing handstands, folks!
But if you do it safely, risk of injury is very low. Less than spraining an ankle running on wet grass (which football and soccer players do all the time).
It’s the finger, wrist and elbow joints and ligaments (your fingers need to act as toes, your arms are now legs) and not learning how to bail safely (if you flip over and don’t have the reflex to cart wheel out).
There's a reason why handstand pushups (often done against a wall for muscle-building/strength purposes) are considered an advanced shoulder exercise. It's sort of the calisthenics equivalent of the overhead press.
I didn’t say they didn’t. But that won’t be the main source of injury. There are smaller and weaker muscles in the chain if you want to achieve a free standing handstand and not just lean on a wall inverted.
Do free floating handstands for time and see what hurts more.
I did partner acrobatics (hobbyist level), and could do handstands in the middle of the room for ~20-40 seconds fairly consistently (and on a good day much more than that). Handstands are actually one of the safer things you can do, especially among inversions... it is really easy to injure your neck in a headstand.
I could also walk on my hands for a fairly long distance (it turns out once you are comfortable with supporting your weight on your hands it is easier than standing still), and when I had a spotter or was against a wall could do 1 arm hand stands and press up from a tripod headstand to a handstand (which is in fact super dangerous if you don't know what you are doing). It is one hell of an upper body work out though ;-)
Unfortunately I have not down any inversions in probably a year now due to the pandemic and other issues, and several months ago I injured my shoulder in unrelated way, so probably not going to be getting back into my old routines any time soon...
... mainly things that aren't even fixable by cryptocurrency?
- Wars. Most people in warzones don't want to hold a bank account because it is very unreliable. Cryptocurrency won't solve that problem, in fact it will exacerbate the problem because of your phone or computer is damaged it's game over[1]. Also, how do you even transact when you don't have any form of communication?
- Actually don't have anything to bank on. Their money is just enough to survive, so they can't even bank, regardless of its form. Giving cryptocurrency is often a proposed solution, while forgetting that regular currency works fine too in these situations.
- Cultural differences. Most, to be honest, don't want to depart their money to someone they don't know. They were introduced to money just a generation or two ago, so they are relatively new here. Good luck convincing that cryptocurrency is trustworthy in a way that can be easily understand.
[1] I mean you could write them on paper, but that's really stretching it, mainly because you need a computer to execute transactions.
