I’ve been in btc since 2012 I initially lost my shirt on Mt Gox. Then I started rebuilding from nothing.

I never told my wife about Mt Gox or the fact that I put a lot of money in there..

I was then shell shocked for many years, but started stacking again. Slowly.

After that experience, I took the ‘not your keys not your coins’ phrase very seriously .

i’m not exactly sure what would have happened had I told my wife, but my suspicion is that if I had told my wife that I had any, we would’ve spent it.

She’s unclear where we’re at financially, but we are retiring this year. But not really just moving to a small off grid Homestead because since the pandemic she’s been watching too many homesteading videos and wants to give it a try so I’m willing to go for that.

I will sell up to 4% of my stack each year depending on price hopefully less. I suspect there will be good years and bad years…. But the 4%rule should keep me retired…
