I'm being honest; it takes effort [to get blocks of manhattan] or [to find a vendor]. Never said otherwise, and honestly dont know how to react to your antagonism. I'll keep putting forth effort and thriving I guess. 😏

Yes - I don’t disagree with you here. I truly hope you do thrive.
The idea of Bitcoin being like real estate in Manhattan is from the context of value appreciation meant to be an analogy for Bitcoin:
It isn’t wrong but it’s incomplete because 1) holding real estate there want necessary to thriving - it’s a bad money; and 2) it takes a lot more than just sitting on the investment to survive the world that is becoming more tyrannical.
Your opening question was ok - would I sell something that is clearly going to appreciate in the future for a meal now. Then you altered the goal post of whatever the goal of that question was ignoring that my original point hasn’t been refuted. It felt like you were just trying to trap me into a contradiction.
I think you need to mentally compare manhattan in 1790 to manhattan today, and what it takes to maintain control for that long, to fully grasp my point. Buying an 18th century steak isn't the answer; cunning and a lot of patient work is essential.
The bottom line is: do the work, and be cooperative. But also be deliberately patient, don't blow your load & fuck over your descendants.
