For those of us who have been in bitcoin for a while it becomes difficult to shave off bitcoin during these dipping times, even if the BTCs might well be in considerable profits....
Tough situation for those of us who haven't reached the FU status yet. If your stash is not FU level yet, you have to limit hooker/blow consumption and postpone the Lambo part.
For sure, these are not easy choices... because if you are really close to fuck you status.. even within 50% - it seems as if inevitably you are going to get to fuck you status, and you just have to make sure that you are at least maintaining and not depleting from your BTC stash.
I am presuming entry-level of $2million based on 208-week moving average fuck you status based on something like my description in
this post.
I am not really sure about how to say it better but most likely you should not be spending much if anything from your BTC stash until you have actually reached fuck you status.. but maybe that is too strict - because I understand that there could be ways in which guys have overallocated into bitcoin, so it is not easy to make blanket statements in that respect.....
Maybe a hypothetical will do, here? Yes, guys are not necessarily going to agree with the terms of my hypothetical, but I want to attempt to describe someone who is on a very good trajectory to get to fuck you status, but has not quite reached it yet.
This hypothetical guy's investment portfolio/assets looks something like this:
30 BTC - 200-week moving average value $600k (spot price value $1.1 million - we go by the 200-week moving average value to determine FU status - even though there are options that part of this could be cashed out or put into various other assets)
$250k various other quasi-liquid investments including equities, 401ks etc
$80k equity in not very liquid assets (such as property, personal residence, business interests - but could borrow against.. perhaps.. if needed)
$30k cash or cash equivalents.. (floating kind of balance and some of this is already dedicated to bitcoin buying on dips and DCA)
$20k credit line - (could borrow with relatively low interest rates - maybe 3-5% per year, if needed)
$800 extra cashflow per month after various expenses that could be put into bitcoin or any other investments (also extra $2k per year that comes in at various times, not exactly predictably that can be invested)
$4.5k per month - Regular monthly expenses
I agree that such hypothetical guy as outlined above has to be careful in terms of spending on hookers, lambos and blow..,. and of course, there are variations regarding how close to fuck you status a guy might be that do need to account for timeline considerations too.. ...
The hypothetical guy who reached fuck you status and ONLY has BTC would need to have right around 100BTC currently.. and surely, I am not going to assume that it is really practical or prudent for any guy to be 100% in bitcoin, and I would presume that the hypothetical guy above who has some diversity in his holdings of value is in a much better position by not having everything in bitcoin, even though, either way, he is not quite yet at fuck you status in the above hypothetical, even though he would not necessarily have to have 100BTC to reach entry level fuck you status if he were to have those other assets (circumstances) described above (because the other assets each have a bitcoin value to them, but holding value in various ways other than bitcoin will likely provide more options and also BTC volatility insurance).
Edit:I reread your post serveria, and for sure I probably should attempt to clarify my perception of entry-level fuck you status would not likely be able to be too extravagant in the hookers, lambos and blow department.. because entry-level fuck you status brings you liberty to not have a job (makes a job optional).. and getting into higher levels of consumption likely does mean getting quite a bit passed entry-level fuck you status. Of course, entry-level fuck you status could be reached upon low level of capital/principle so long as consumption is not very high.. so just off the top of my head in terms of attempting to mainstream entry-level fuck you status at having $2million of capital/principle, to enter into hooker, lambos and blow status, it is likely that 2-3x of entry-level would likely need to be reached.. and of course, as a matter of priorities, it surely is possible that hookers, lambo and blow could be reached/consumed at lower levels of fuck you status.. yet it seems to me that hookers, lambos and blow is meant to indicate a higher level of extravagance/ability to spend fuck you status than what I would consider to be "entry-level" YMMV
