Her voice deepened, her eyes became doe like and she said "wherever you want to..."

She was probably working too. Tongue Phishing to see if you are a potential client.

Well, might as well pick up a quick hundred or whatever. To me though it just made me feel kind of sad. Obviously I still remember it, but that's Vegas in a nutshell.

But then, I am not allowed to live in Vegas. The cabbie told me so.

Miami Mayor ‘Definitely Open’ to Allocate 1% of City’s Treasury Reserves into Bitcoin
https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/miami-mayor-definitely-open-to-allocate-1-of-citys-treasury-reserves-into-bitcoin/

I would consider moving to Miami because of this.

Miami's certainly not on my top list of places to live in the US but if it is a Bitcoin friendly city I would live there.

I think Wyoming would be higher on my list though. And they are doing some great things there for Bitcoin.

I have heard you admit, on several occasions, that you did not buy enough..

Any man who claims he bought enough is a liar

You calling me a liar?

Do you have enough, or more than enough? If you have more than enough, what will you do with the "excess" above whatever was enough? Charitable donations make sense too since you can probably write it off or tax deductible or something.

Vegas seems quite nice!! Hilton is nice and the water even smells nice here!!
People don’t seem to be very friendly/social here though..

I'll never forget walking from the MGM over to the Sands hotel for a conference. It was the best way to get there and early in the morning was a nice walk.

One day I was walking and a nice enough woman in jogging pants and sweatshirt was walking as well. We struck up a conversation, chatted about life and such, then when I had to make my turn to go to the Sands I said "well I'm off to work, where are you off to"

Her voice deepened, her eyes became doe like and she said "wherever you want to..."

And I was like FUCK. Everyone around here is just working an angle. There is no human interaction that isn't paid for in some way. Granted she saw my look and said she was kidding but I was like "well, so much for that" and went off to work.

Vegas: Really nice place but no soul. That said I'm glad I am not there otherwise I would wind up with another Patek watch......

By the way, one of the ongoingly amazing things about bitcoin is that it remains such a grand asymmetric bet, and maybe even more so the more that you study the phenomena.


Accordingly, you don't really need a big investment into BTC in order to become rich as fuck.

I do understand that there are some peeps who may have NOT had very good cashflow when they heard about bitcoin so they are not able to invest much, if at all.  I remember those days of my own finances from my college years.. However, there are some folks, including yours truly, who already had a decently mature investment portfolio at the time of hearing about bitcoin, so any decision to invest in the ballpark of 1% to 10% of such already existing mature investment portfolio would have made anyone like me rich as fuck (which seems to have been what happened in terms of BTC growing to such a degree to dwarf the other mostly mature investments that I had and largely still continue to have).

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
EDIT: Forgot to mention that i feel definitely more relaxed since corn is correcting  Grin

But it is not correcting.

That thingie-ma-jiggie that we witnessed (in the past 2-3 days) was a correction for ants, if you had not noticed.

Well, consider having a tiny, tiny stash, a correction for ants is likely to be perceived "bigger", or is it just me?  Wink

It could be just you.  I am not sure?  I will go along with your presentation that you feel that your BTC stash is relatively tiny, and perhaps that could be some kind of explanation for why you get nervous about BTC price changes, because you have a kind of goal to increase your stash and/or to take advantage of BTC price moves...

At the same time, I do not really consider this to be a great justification for trying to NOT let BTC's price movements interfere with whatever plans that you have made for dealing with such BTC price changes.  It's almost as if you have not prepared, even though we have been talking about these kinds of potential BTC price movements for a few years (sure I have been talking about them for nearly 7 years, and you have been for a few years based on this account and your previous one)....

So, I get the sense that you have not pee pared ur lil selfie for these kinds of price moves, even though they are largely within reasonable parameters of the kinds of moves that we have been anticipating.


About that weekly parabola: This is the thing that gave me the scare (for ants, though).

Sure, the weekly parabola does look a bit crazy when looking at it, which surely causes some anticipations that corrections could come at anytime and play out extremely - but at the same time, fuck the charts, you should not be letting these stupid ass charts interfere with your plans and causing you to NOT stick with your previous plan, to the extent that you had some kind of a decent plan... and your plan should not be lacking in so much concreteness that it causes you to try to time price moves and/or overly play your hand because you perceive your stash to be small and you want to increase it.. blah blah blah..

At (mid term) fuck-you price levels of corn, i can more or less only sell a fraction (up to a third, the rest is locked in hodl mode) near the next "top" to buy back at the next "captitulation", if these events ever happen again anytime soon... i mean within years, to grow it. The timing of this is at the core of my "nervousness" (for ants, but still).

Maybe you should be a bit more specific about what you are saying here, or maybe it is that your plan is lacking in specifics and you are too much caught up in attempts to time these price moves.. and even trying to get towards the top with any of your shaving off some BTC profits so that you might be able to buy lower.

I still believe those to be a bit ridiculous of mindsets in terms of attempting to time the market and the BTC price, but hey peeps are going to do what they are going to do.  I personally believe it is way less emotionally involving to have some kind of plan in which you sell set amounts at set price points and do not worry about whether you are able to buy back lower or not.. and sure if you are able to buy back lower, then great, but do not be counting on it or fucking around with the timing aspect.. just set your plan and attempt to follow it within a certain degree of flexibility, if you so choose.

So for example, with your trading stash that you proclaim to be 1/3 of your total stash, I would suggest NOT to be trying to play the whole 1/3 in one go, but instead, pick some various BTC price points that you shave off some proportion of that stash, such as 1/10th of it each time that the BTC price reaches various price points set by you.. and of course, you can tweak those price points if your senses change (but it might not be a good idea to tweak if you have already thought through ahead of time regarding what those price points should be)  or some other variation of preset price points that is not going to cause you to have such high levels of emotionalism in regards to your trying to play and time too much of it in one go.

Sure, I understand that part of your excitement remains something like the BTC price playing out way more bullish that the most bullish of your expectations - but that is the way the king daddy is.. so you should have already been attempting got plan and prepare both financially and emotionally for these kinds of greater than expectations kinds of happenings within the bitcoin scene.

Hopefully this is helpful in some kind of way, and of course, in the end, you gotta find your own specific price points and practices that feel comfortable for you, and surely mine are likely a wee bit different from yours... including the fact that previous plays can frequently affect present or future plays... and of course, each of us come out differently when it really comes to diving into each of the personal factors that should be included in these kinds of considerations and planning which are cash flow, other investments, view of bitcoin as compared to other investments, timeline, risk tolerance and time, skills and abilities to learn or to tweak plans from time to time including the extent to reallocate or trade, if at all.

I actually feel bad for mindrust. I liked (still like?) the guy. It's so unfortunate that he chickened out. Never expected it. I guess he wasn't a hardened HoDLer like the typical WOer, and he never really believed in Bitcoin. It's impossible to do what he did, if you really believe in Bitcoin's potential and understand how it works. I guess he never did.

Sad. If I was him, I'd go crazy... It's tough for the mind (rusty or not) to take this...

I sincerely hope he's fine.

I don't understand why this running joke is so popular. It's human to make mistakes and we should not make fun of him.

After weighing my options the last time it reached $20k I just could not see putting a lot of money into some fiat based investment that would give me 5-6% yearly gains in a currency losing value at 8-10% per year, run by some idiot fund manager. So I just kept it all in bitcoin and decided to live off of money cashed out at the lowest tax bracket (which is still a lot in 2nd world countries).

I came to the exact same conclusion as you.

I don't see any other option right now, with inflation running at 8-10%/year and bitcoin on the cusp of major breakout to highs unimaginable.

Perhaps in the far future I will diversify, but doing so now (I'm sure of it) would be a huge mistake.

Edit: I've got to do some major renovations to the house next year, and it's already making me sick to know that I've got to part with some BTC to do it.

OT: So I guess the MSM's strategy of telling Average Joe to stay away from Bitcoin is not working, so now they're going with "[those that] have a portfolio that’s overweight in cryptocurrency may consider donating it to charity."  Roll Eyes

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/30/bitcoin-nears-27000-why-it-might-make-sense-to-give-some-to-charity.html

You hear that Average Joe? If you have too much Bitcoin, give it away or diversify now!  Roll Eyes

This is actually a good strategy.

A charitable trust.

If you are able to cash out your gains into a charitable trust you essentially donate the full amount to a charity (executed upon your death).

The trust you put your money into can pay you dividends, pay you from the principle over time, etc.

You know the term "trust fund babies"...you can set up the trust to pay out a certain amount to your children over time, etc.

You get the initial first year benefit of the amount you donated to the charity as a discount on your taxes and you can spread your gains over several years instead of a single lump sum.

I considered this as an option because living overseas I can make up to $100k per year tax free. But I am subject to all taxes on capital gains.

The thing holding me back from doing a charitable trust was that you have to hand your money over to a company unrelated to you to manage the trust. After weighing my options the last time it reached $20k I just could not see putting a lot of money into some fiat based investment that would give me 5-6% yearly gains in a currency losing value at 8-10% per year, run by some idiot fund manager. So I just kept it all in bitcoin and decided to live off of money cashed out at the lowest tax bracket (which is still a lot in 2nd world countries).
