Speaking of something completely and utterly unrelated to the bitcoin price >ahem< 1.9 trillion "Stimulus" bill just passed. At the current price, you could buy 39.3 million Bitcoins with that.
I am afraid to disappoint them here. Let them have all the money in the world but there will never be 39.3 million popcorns.
Personal dilemma because I'm afraid of heights but I can stand new bitcoin ATHs.
Will I be able to get onboard the elevator?
That is the problem.
Or maybe I should avoid too much coffee in the morning.
Fuck the space elevator..
sure let them research into it, build it, imagine great things about it and even go in little space elevator "trips" including going to places where no man has gone before or whatever..
I will be perfectly contentening here on earth in my waning days banging hookers, lambo donuting and snorting blow.
I am fine here on Earth too. Space is boring.
One builds resilience while being perfectly grounded on Earth and I leave the crazyness to those who float with their head up in the air.
I believe that one of my main points is that certain adventures might be left to the youthful and the risk loving folks, and sure I was more youthful and surely more risk loving, but at a certain point, some of us come to a certain satisfaction attempting to live within our means and some of the risks that might be contained in just exploring within less risky boundaries. Take banging hookers, for example, not exactly completely risk free or even boring, but sure some peeps might get bored with that, or at least feel that they have experienced enough variety of that kind of adventure and be willing to move onto other kinds of adventures - and surely for me, I still think that there are plenty of adventures here on earth that I can still explore - even though I do become winded a bit easier engaging in some of the activities.. .
Say for example, there might have been some times that I could run up that mountain and not really feel too affected.. and maybe even feel a bit stronger after the experience.. but sometimes attempting to sprint a block or two can be challenging.. so those kinds of real world limitations would curtail kinds of risks that might be taken, and surely some of the earlier adventurers into space may well need to meet some physical requirements, in which some folks may well just not be able to meet them, even though mentally they want to fantasize about doing x, y and z, and they fucking fail because they are living in their own fantasy about their own physical limitations that happen to be requisites for engaging in such adventures.. No I don't watch some of those real world challenges and obstacle courses, but sometimes it is quite amazing how much talent, strength and skills might be required and some couch potatoes are thinking that they could do that kind of thing too "with a bit of training" blah blah blah. I did martial arts when I was younger, and sure some of the skills still are present, but some of the skills take strength and endurance too, and it is quite unrealistic sometimes to conclude that some of those can be maintained after certain ages are reached even though I am not even saying that they will go to zero, but they may well go from 90% to 30% and that decrease makes a big ass difference in terms of considering the kinds of goals and activities that are both practical and reachable.
