New ATH incoming, bitchez

What are you guys talking about?!?!

Reaching lifetime financial independence is the beginning,  not the end.

coming from brit expat....(not quite hairless tho... i have plenty round the back that trap the dingleberries)
bitcoin pops (as usual) and queen on the shitter..  (   epic...saved to hd    )
once again, you made my day..  thanx m8 !

Why would you need to get paid? Assuming you don't need any more money ... why hold yourself back from doing something that provides purpose to your life just because you're "supposed to" do it a certain way? Says who?

All the money in the world, without any sense of purpose ... may as well be dead.


 

I once had a colleague who worked as a Senior Consultant for IBM. He is about 7 years older than me and had been working for IBM for ~17 years. I would get together with him and another mutual friend about once every 2-3 months.

I always noticed how happy, relaxed and carefree the IBM consultant was. He was always smiling and laughing, and seemed to be ok with his job even though he would admit to us how soul crushing it was to work for IBM and how bored he was with his work. I couldn't believe how he could maintain such a happy attitude in the face of such a dismal work environment.

Then after a few years of knowing this guy, our mutual friend let me in on a little secret over a phone call. The IBM consultant's close family had won the Lotto about 10 years prior. Each family member (4-5 of them I believe it was) received the equivalent of $2 million dollars.

I said to him, "Well no fkn wonder he's always happy! He doesn't even need to work for IBM, he just does it for the benefits and to have something to do."

Congrats. I reached that point too a while back. My whole life I spent my energy on working on making more money, college, personal sacrifice, business ventures, etc.

Now that I make more with bitcoin than anything else, and I don't really need to make any more money for the rest of my life (though more opens up possibilities) it changes my life goals.

Right now I go to work even though I don't need to. I have zero motivation, especially working for the military industrial complex. If it weren't for the fact that I have no stress at work and I work in a very relaxed atmosphere I would leave. Other people stress...but that is because they worry about their future careers. Though going to work is ok because it gives me a reason to get out of the house in the morning.

Even thinking about things I can do with my life outside of work it tends to come back to working on something...which tends to be something that makes money. I need to figure out how to balance working on something that doesn't drain my funds and productivity while not worrying about making money off of the venture. Like I want to help with this seasteading venture and can contribute in many ways such as running their network or developing some blockchain stuff for them, but I keep thinking that I would need to get paid to do something big like that. But a small salary would only be symbolic for me, and a big salary would not be feasible. And if I wanted a big salary I would just keep doing what I am doing now.

First world problems I suppose.

I have been reading The Will to Power by Nitchze to kind of get into the heads of the bigwigs that I might start mingling with (and have already started to do) as more of a protective stance to not become an easy target. I will be delving into other books like that to get an idea of the mindset and to enlighten my mind a bit.

I thought the same thing.



Here another very eloquent extract:



Trolls in 3... 2... 1...

Its how hodlers are made.

There will be only 21,000,000 coins.

When africoin posted


It was $~1200 range an I got a 50% haircut.

Now my only strategy is

Shhhh!
You're not supposed to talk this subject publicly!

My sense is that there is indeed lots of institutional money interested / eager to get into bitcoin, but not sure how exactly to do it. I doubt they're all going to figure it out in the space of a few weeks. This uptrend is going to be slower and steadier, but similar in magnitude, to 2013.

Isn't Rassah a CFP?

Yeah, they will be going back in as fiat becomes worth less than crypto. This saga isn't going to end for newbies or old timers. This is a life changing technology.

GOLDMAN: 'It's getting harder for institutional investors to ignore cryptocurrencies'

The flood gates are about to open, brace for impact........

I bet there are quite a few bitcoin millionaires sitting quietly on the sidelines right now who will be (or are already) of similar mind, silently contemplating how to help crypto reach its full potential to make the world a better place.

Good man Infofront!

I'm still in the beginning of my crypto journey, but just today I had taste of a similar feeling- financial independence, when I saw I had made great returns with one of my investments. I still have to work cuz the profit was ~3k $, but I could visualise living off purely by doing smart investments.

 What a great life it would be, definetly something to work towards!

Life's short, don't start thinking you have "made it" you will die soon of a heart attack from boredom.

Ok, I was overdue to do one of these since we have now convincingly taken out my targetted $3200-3600 range ... next doubling takes us to $6800-7200 region however the timescales are more relatively relaxed since we had that long pregnant pause around forking time, so in ~6 weeks maybe.

But this whole doubling in half the time thing has gotten quite out of whack so I'm not placing much faith in it, more of a watch and see and it might throw up some useful targets. It seems like there maybe something else going on here now, bigger forces are coming into play, maybe a larger scale mega-trend is re-establishing itself. At one point bitcoin price was reliably tenfolding about every 12-18 months and then the Gox blow-off and crash put that on hold and some very determined and deep-pocketed players did their best to stifle/sabotage/bad-mouth/usurp bitcoin for the following 2 years ... maybe we are going to go back the 10-folding growth? With some catching up to the old trend thrown in for good measure. We could be going vertical on the S-curve phase?

Interesting that masterluc has us breaking up above the existing exponential trend into a faster growth trend again.

I've already decided that I'll move somewhere warmer for half the year, like Florida, Texas, or Philippines, study computer science full time, and start giving back to Bitcoin and related projects.
