Just watched the RGB demo call. I am still confused as to how it works and I have delved deep into colored coins for several years. I guess that wasn't the point of the demo, explaining the underlying mechanisms (which I have perused but still don't quite get it).
They showed the app on testnet creating an asset then transferring an asset. They said it will be able to work over the liquid network, Lightning Network as well as the regular bitcoin blockchain. All anonymously such that nobody can tell what has been transferred by looking at the transaction.
One big sneak peak they gave was that future development will include staking and DEX with Bitcoin. Defi is coming to Bitcoin. They said it's about a year out.
Their app is still in alpha stage, coming out on iPhone soon.

As for the lake, it's just the means to even more peace of mind and a place to enjoy my time in a peaceful healthy environment.
And you can put seastead in the middle of the lake!
er, that would be a lakestead (under a "personal" flag)

I think that may miss the point.
JT may have just doxxed himself though.

Seems we need to wait for an ATH a bit longer.

You missed out my favourite from the list I'm looking forward to most; the gentlemen's club.
What is this, GTA?
I was careful enough not to reveal specific amounts, but yeah, shopping takes a whole new meaning for a Bitcoin HoDLer. I just buy what I want. I don't look at prices. I'm not talking about extravagant stuff, but before Bitcoin I used to check the prices to be sure I'm in my budget. Not anymore. The good thing is that I'm not into luxurious (read: expensive) stuff, so anything I need is now well within my reach. That's what I meant by "peace of mind" in my earlier post.
The only thing missing (apart from the pump to $1M) is being able to buy stuff directly with Bitcoin.

Always a little wary as not caring about the price of things is how so many with new-found wealth lose everything. A jetski here, a Merc for your friend(s) there and soon, your accountant is telling you some bad news. It's good to stay grounded but on the other hand, I could probably be spending a little more for things that need it.
Buying stuff directly with Bitcoin is out for anything under around 2k with fees right now but if you don't mind indirectly, Newegg takes them through bitpay and purse.io works well. I've even seen a scattering of companies willing to roll the dice with LN.

Problem with heavy stuff on other planets is that it's incredibly expensive to move it here. That is, as long as energy is as expensive as it is. But then again, with near free energy we could make any material we wanted right here.
Edit: although this does spell good news for the future power grid on Mars.

Energy is pretty cheap in space. You also don't need a whole lot of power as even quite low thrusts will eventually get you where you want to go.

I'd actually like to have a property with a lake too. Then I'd go somewhere in the middle, and depending on how deep it was, throw something overboard and try to look for it. Maybe a box or a bottle with something heavy so it sinks. Or you build something that you can sink underwater and keep there, like an underwater cave or "habitat" or safe or something.
If the place has winter, then whatever you put there is literally in cold storage, frozen.

I like this idea, not just for things, but for people! Maybe Elwar could integrate it with some of his seastead designs. Like, you can live normally above sea-level, but you can also go "down" under the sea, in an all-windowed room, to see everything. That would be awesome.

For me, Bitcoin has "bought" me the most important thing in the universe: time, and the peace of mind that I can survive and do anything I ever wanted to do, without having to work for it. My life is already full, no need for Lambos or lakes. I own two wonderful houses, one in the city, another in the countryside, right next to a beautiful beach. My car is 6 years old and in pristine condition. Frankly, sometimes I'm trying to think of what to buy, but I'm out of ideas...
tl;dr: The most important thing that Bitcoin can buy, is TIME! The time one needs to do the things that really matter (and these are almost never material, although most people have been conditioned/brainwashed to think they are).
Thank you, Bitcoin!
Indeed. Time and peace of mind are almost as important as health and family (including friends).
Luckily my life is also full and has been for many years. I haven't had a "real job" in 45 years. I have lots of family/friends and my health is pretty good for my age. I haven't really worried for years even when I was poor. Now I have enough Bitcoin to not have to worry about money ever again.
As for the lake, it's just the means to even more peace of mind and a place to enjoy my time in a peaceful healthy environment.
No question, Jimbo, your life and attitude towards Bitcoin is a model case of how it should be done.
I'm sure your new private lake will give you years of enjoyment (is the pic from there?). My Bitcoin stash is nowhere near what's needed to buy a whole lake (!!!), but I was fortunate enough to already own a seaside home, which is more than enough for my needs.
Buying a lake... Wait! When Bitcoin reaches $1M it may even be possible for us little fish too!

The big issues are how soon will it happen? (10-40 years my guess)
100-200 years my guess.
50 years since we left the Moon, and we still can't dig into Mars (equipment breaks), and we still can't bring a spoonful on Mars dirt back to Earth (too expensive).

Next target $60,000, wonder when we hit it? I’m thinking before April, not quite sure on an exact date but definitely this month.

Mars Is nicer than the moon. Actually has wind and an atmosphere. They will set up a mining base camp there. Load it up with gold as it is easier and safer to do it there. This will make gold as common as copper.
If your realize that gold is godlike in its ability to work with electrical systems when compared to lead or copper. The world will finally be able to have cheap world wide power.

What to do with all the wealth stored in gold? Move it to btc over the next 0-10 years if you have brains.
So I can see 11 trillion gold cap shifting into the 1 trillion btc cap.
All smart forward thinking wealthy mofos see this.
If they are heavy into gold they will be slowly moving it into BTC So BTC now has an easy path to 5x or 10x its current numbers.

Came across this fascinating article about how an asteroid which has $10,000 quadrillion value of precious metals is worth more than the entire world economy which includes bitcoin (for now).
Elon Musk is getting his rocket ready to start real time mining on that rock for certain!
Thought I would share this little tidbit with the cryptocurrency community since its inregards to being an addition to an economy of the sorts in the near future.

Such a great feeling to go out shopping, come back a couple of hours later and realise that while you were out you made 400 times the money you spent shopping.
Man, next time I'll be buying a few more things...
Onwards & upwards!

Bitcoin and Time have some similar properties. You can never go back in Time, once you've spent it, it's gone forever. There can never be more than 21 million coins. If you lose it, maybe it's not forever, but good luck trying to recover it.
Wonderful comment. I heard log ago that " Time and Tide wait for none" Mean they never go back. You made my day by creating new saying. TIME and BTC never go back.

It would make space for expansion. I have to think on the edge which it is obviously what I am doing.
But if you have 25 billion in gold right now. You read this you are shifting some of the money to BTC as I type.
BTC can be used as the financial tool to convert to gold over lead and copper for electrical purposes.
