Was about to buy a new watch.
Took a deep breath, let my low time preference come out and bought Bitcoin instead.

Congrats. I love watches too. Dreaming of a Panerai and Rolex. Could easily afford them but Bitcoin taught me better.
Wearing a Casio. π

Take a look in 4 years...
In the meantime, there's always Seiko π
Already have a watch portfolio/safety net so Iβm good. Rest goes into Bitcoin
I was so close to using my stimmy checks to help buy an Omega. That or a Rolex is something I would like someday.
Instead I found Bitcoin in β21 and started my journey. Years from now I may trade some Sats for watch, but for now itβs stay humble, stack sats, and zap zapsβ‘οΈ
Nothing wrong with saving/investing in watches. They are proof of work goods and can be like a savings account that isnβt volatile and a safety net for you. I mean this instead of your fiat savings. Definitely not instead of Bitcoin.
+ you can enjoy them
Great replay. One day I will probably get a nice watch, but not today. I must continue to practice low time preference π«‘
Good call.
Itβs amazing how Bitcoin can change someoneβs spending and saving habits
I have two respectable watches.
They both have a story behind them. I bought my TAG for cash out of the box off a Russian diplomats son who was gifted the watch from his father for college graduation.
He needed the cash to go on a cruse with his girlfriend.
Have some too.
I see them as a savings account/safety net instead of fiat savings. + you can enjoy them.
Always beautiful to hear some watch stories.
Truth is besides the tiny little name on the dial, some aesthetics only appreciable up close and a few seconds accuracy (maybe) or charm of excellent mechanical (still not as accurate and quartz), theyβre a money hole.
I bought a sapphire crystal-lensed 24k gold accented Bering that people cream over β super elegant β and it was only maybe β¬150. Keeps time like a champ and looks better than the vast majority of peopleβs watches in the room. A win.
Nothing wrong with that and the love and story for your watch is the most important thing.
Besides that I am a watch enthusiast and also like to save in them. See it as a savings account instead of fiat savings. Highly liquid as a safety net and if you buy right, you never lose fiat value on it
Best decission
Thatβs the gift of timeβ¦π€
