re: infofronts "fuckyoucoiner" poll
my answer is based on todays value of ~$4k USD.
voted 200-499
reason is less than 200 btc is currently worth less than 1 mil USD (800k) max. now, combined with my other assets that
possibly could meet minimum "set for life" money (although i would have to be careful) baring catastrophic collapse of fiat or other large scale unforeseen collapse of local civilization. although it could survive some fairly major "shit hits the fan things." largely because i already have a lot of what i need and all is paid off, in good repair, common failure mode spare parts, plus a decent amount of common maintenance stuff like tools, fuel, oil, filters are already purchased. stuff is well taken care of, and i have gone through a LOT of more or less worst case scenarios in my head, test my infrastructure and backup systems regularly, and modify things as real world testing indicates. a couple real world tests have validated my setups (tornado, week long power outage).
but to me thats not really "fuckyoucoiner" level. as you really have to e careful who you say "fuck you" to (aside from JJG on "fuckyou thursday" of course
).
so, at todays ~4k price i voted 200 - 499. so 800k-2 mil. split the difference, say 1.5 mil. combined with what i have that translates into being pretty comfortable. should allow a good sized cushion against much unforeseen stuff, still allow a pretty good lifestyle with the option of discretionary buying of toys and such. provides a decent amount of "fuck you" to things.
keep in mind that im older. younger people would need more as it needs to last longer. and if btc moons, well infofront will need a new poll.
I just did a "firecalc" for 1.5 million. Spending level of $58k. 95.8% success rate with at least 100k left over after 30 years, based on 118 total cycles, of which 5 failed. That's 3.91% of the starting portfolio.
I think that's pretty much fuckyou money, in addition to any other income you may have. Again, depends on your level of expenses. I voted a little higher, just in case.
