There is an unconfirmed report that Risto Pietila has died. By his own hand, people are saying. More if I get it.
We often speak of Bitcoin mooning and I sometimes wonder how managing an enormous newfound wealth might inevitably impact my life and mental state. A slippery slope no doubt
This is it for me too. I am developing a strategy to keep sanity every new 10k increase or so. Bitcoin became something too big in my life, I did not expect it to be this way but, as I said, this is it.
Now I understand when they say "with great power comes great responsibility".
Confession I recently lost more than 10 btc. I am not disclosing how that happened, still makes me mad. This has been haunting me for the last two years.
I am slowly re-building my bitcoin wealth by stacking as many sats as I possible can and exchange my leftover fiat at the end of the month.
This is the reason why you will see me changing my avatar from time to time as I join sig ad campaigns.
This is where I stand today, feels good to have finally shared my story with you.
Closing like Jimbo would do: Go
BTC go!
Stack those sats !!
But recently or a few years back? (Losing 10 coins?)
It happened roughly between October 2018 and June 2019. I am no trader and did a mess to try to use altcoins to grow my
BTC wealth. I believe the stupid poker player attitude assaulted me in the making. BTC price was not this high and I kept saying to myself I could have turned my luck back on my side again.
Kept on losing
BTC until I stopped.
It's over now, I hope I learnt from it.
I would like to thank all of you who contributed lately to the discussion (can't give anymore merits, sorry
) It was terrific, indeed. I will leave what I found meaningful here and there also for my personal record.
Much wisdom and more importantly in my opinion..empathy shown over the last pages WO's. This is why I hang my hat here.
Just wanting to offer an alternate view from someone who engages in a lot of self-introspection and has had the benefit of gaining tools to help me cope with life and the human condition.
yeah never forget where you came from, you could find yourself right back to where you started. in my case being poor back in the day. paycheck to paycheck? that was paradise, i usually was out of money a day or two after payday.. dark times and mainly my fault.
Money wont change the essence of the person, at best/worst it will amplify it.
If someone is already an asshole, in all likelihood they just become a rich asshole.
Preserving/increasing wealth is a job in itself that requires some skills and dedication, otherwise easy comes easy goes.
And, last but not least, Jimbo's poem here
