four more than me....

shhhhhhhhhhh

we don't talk about that

To have more time is why I bother with Bitcoin investment. I want to retire from this career and spend my time as I see fit. But I need enough net worth saved up to keep my current lifestyle up for the next 50 years (currently in my mid-30s).

One of the key truths in life is that each of us has a certain amount of time that is, for all intents and purposes, set. It's the one thing you really can't buy more of, but you can use what time you have to the greatest extent possible.

In my world, I can do something myself, or pay someone else to do it for me. If I enjoy doing it, why pay someone else. If I don't the question becomes can I do something more valuable with that time while someone else does the thing in question.

Case in point: Last weekend I needed to replace the fan and other belts on my 928. I also had to weed the garden, it really needed it. So I used Takl to find someone to weed the garden for a hundred bucks while I spent some of the time replacing the belts (something I enjoy) and drinking seltzer in the hammock (something I enjoy) while this person did the weeding (something I enjoy less). It would have cost $500 plus an hour dropping off and picking up the car for a mechanic to do it, so I came out ahead and prevented a decrease in my net worth. That made sense.

I like the concept of jungle time: If that recharges you and allows you to come back to the world to make more money then it's a good thing. Myself, I like to invest money in the finest swiss tools and reflow equipment; I can then use that to fix miners and stuff to make more money. Buying cheaper things is doable, but the lost time dealing with crappy tools prevents me from making more money (well, bitcoins).

Interesting thoughts. I may never buy a new car or house, but that's mainly because I derive pleasure, fulfillment, and enlightment from fixing stuff and keeping it running. As long as the pleasure outweighs the cost it's good. When the cost outweighs the pleasure it's time to get rid of the car or house or tool.

I like this thread, makes me think. Good use of my time, even with all the ass eating and race baiting.

I've read only four.

Alan Bond.  Serial con man.   And took the America’s Cup.

Nope. Can't find it.

Here's an excellent repost tho

And a pithy meme

His countrymen put CSW in the context of Australia's tradition of brash, unabashed confidence men. I read an article somewhere about that. Maybe I can find it. It was quite good.

No. 

Is it still Wednesday?

The modem thing blows my mind because anyone who has been around longer then a decade knows the internet used to be slow as hell.   Australia especially, their internet sucks so I dont understand that exactly.
  All I guess there that makes sense is he just used university internet and didnt have much interest beyond that like the codec revisions to normal telephone usage.  But he is interested in crypto protocols somehow, seems a bit off.   How can he be the age he is and not recognise 27mb is a very big file to transmit for the old technology.   Thats not even a crypto question, how long has he used computers for


The BTC price is below 50% tracement level for the last peak to trough decline.  Lows are the 50 DMA area just beaten.   7500 area would be good resistance and 38% of the larger May to June peak into decline move

Over 6000+ btc spend on new forum software. You'd think we'd have something usable by now.

As a crypto expert I can say this is the real deal. Chocolate raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain

That's what I started to think that there has to be another form factor that would work because form factors are always changing, yet in the USA, BIG is in so there has to be some variations of luxury BIG that will allow for upgrading and bringing the modern electronics into the mix...  ... because a 20 year vehicle starts to have a lot of lackings in terms of modern upgrades and just wear and tear that had already taken place even just from mere passage of time deterioration... there are also lower entry level new cars that offer standard features that would not even have been offered 10 years ago, based on technological automotive improvements

What about the Mercedes V class vans?

Yeah... thing is, the full-size van form factor just works for me. If someone made a van with interior trim up to luxury car standards, this woulda been a done deal already. Alas, no. So my decision is to abandon the form factor I desire and get a pickup, or settle for the comparatively downmarket experience of a van. Either seems a compromise, which makes me need to consider other platforms*. Which leads to indecision. ::sigh::

*i.e., maybe Tesla X?

Oh well, the wife is the car guy in this family, anyhoo.

Great insight, Jimbo.

 Can you see it now?



 

That, living within your means is a big part of it. Losers spend their money before they earn it. They take on mortgages and buy merchandise on time. They're losing money while they sleep paying compound interest.

Those who skimp on luxuries, hold off on buying things they don't absolutely need, and invest their money in things that earn more money are already compounding in their own way. When you must buy something, buy high-quality used stuff cheap.
