Are you all-in on Bitcoin already? I.e you don’t hold any meaningful amount of dollars anymore?
Discussion
Yeah I have enough fiat in a bank account for fiat only bills for about a month with a small float, but even that's probably going to be replaced with Strike direct deposit and bill pay soon (to pay off a credit card for the fiat bills, Privacy.com debits, and rent) using Bitcoin that my fiat check gets converted into. That's my exposure to fiat at this point. I try not to hold it for long.
Ok yeah just would advise not I skipping rungs on the ladder of conviction, which it sounds like you aren’t doing here with this consideration.
I’m neutral on the loans. I would appreciate a breakdown from someone explaining with numbers and examples how advantageous it is to pay the interest on the loan versus the capital gains tax on the corn.
Personally, I’m not taking any loans on my bitcoin anytime soon. I’ll let everyone else beta test that for the next 5-10 years
That's smart and I'm not either on anything significant. I probably never will since I'm so conservative. But a car isn't that big of a deal for me. I'd live in the worst case, which is liquidation.
As for the taxes, that isn't the real point since those are on just the nominal fiat gains anyway. The consideration for me is does Bitcoin's growth outpace the interest? Being conservative, I figure it will at least break even on 13%. That's way conservative, but shit happens. If Bitcoin grows 13% or lower what are we even doing here? It wouldn't be keeping pace with US inflation at least (if you believe CPI is bullshit). Maybe I'd still use it for other reasons, but SOV would be dead. Might as well use fucking Monero at that point.
Anyway, that's where my thinking is. I come here to be called retarded and educated on what I'm missing 😂
This whole thing started with me not wanting to sell my Bitcoin and take a tax hit when I can just get a strike loan and pay less interest than the typical CAGR. BUT, a key point is that I could sell the sats I'm handing to Strike and be okay. I just don't see the point if I'm actually right about Bitcoin.
