If only...
Diamond hands, and opportunistic buyers with low time preference, will be handsomely rewarded.
Outstanding...through and through. I've mentioned running for political office to my wife, in jest, but I despise politics...and she knows how much it would tear me down because I'd feel like I was fighting everyone. When all I really want to do is enjoy my retirement and focus on teaching/coaching tennis while making an impact in juniors' lives.

In the other camp, which is a significantly smaller number of people, there is the minority of the worlds population whom hold the same beliefs as the rest of us, but with one caveat, that in certain situations, what is yours is not yours, and what is mine is not mine, instead, our property as far as this minority is concerned, belongs to them, to do with it what they perceive to be the best uses of our property, provided the circumstances “necessitate” such a change in ownership of course.
It’s a pretty convoluted and inconsistent belief system that nobody can understand as goal posts shift. And because of the shifting foundation of this belief system, it is the cause of revolutions, civil wars, genocides, and world wars.
In other words, a small minority of the world believes that theft is okay in certain situations, provided you can rationalize a reason for it and get others to believe you.

This is definitely a Primal (Mark Sisson) approach to exercise. I like Robb Wolf's version that I use every time I go into the gym:
- Push
- Pull
- Squat
- Hinge (deadlift, kettlebell swings, etc)

Things that make you go hmmm...
Keep stacking.
It's just (fun) math - that can only be communicated in a Rustin sort of way.
Obviously had similar thoughts when I read this...

Ouch...
That domino needs to fall...this is a stain on humanity.
An evil world allows this to happen...how anyone on this planet could think this is OK, and not be mentally ill, is beyond my comprehension.

the same publications that carry so much advertising from pharma and med device to treat the outcomes of obesity also encourage obesity.
there’s a really bad set of incentives here.
morbid obesity is a big business. and business is good....
the average american male now has a 40.5 inch waist. pants did not even come in that size in the 70’s. women are 38.7. ditto...
38 million americans have diabetes. type 1, you’re born with. it’s an autoimmune condition. but that’s only 2 million people. 36 million of them are type 2, and type 2 is acquired. it’s a disease of lifestyle and obesity.

I totally agree with this post - and I worry about the phone call when people I care about find out they have Type-2 diabetes (or worse, heart disease) when they have been banging the body positive drum for years.
Interesting about pushups. I implement them in my lessons and my high school tennis sessions all the time. However, I've lowered the bar...they generally do 5 pushups at a time - or 15 to 20 squats.
I even bet them - when trying to hit targets - that they have to do 5 pushups if they miss all tries, but I'll do 25 pushups for every one they make. I have had to pump out 100 pushups with all of them counting...and I'm 56. Not a single one of my student-athletes could do 30...yet! Give me time (if I don't get kicked out of coaching for holding them accountable for fitness and striving for excellence).

Something to think of for the low-carb crowd. I tend to be low-carb because I eat mostly meat and dairy, but I still have berries and honey every day...and I'm good with rice, potato/sweet potato, and the occasional vegetable (usually brussels sprouts or asparagus).
I only use olive, avocado, or coconut oil...or go with butter, ghee, or lard.

Still alive and kickin'...
Now - if I can keep the momentum on following my principles and breaking away from fiat rails.
Finally bit the bullet and closed my LinkedIn account - had a lot of connections, recommendations/endorsements, and articles I'd written...which I exported.
But I've come to despise Reid Hoffman over the last couple of years and finally followed through on my principles...and should have done that much earlier.
I tried to help their Analytics by explaining my reason for closing my account. Think it will help?
Jumping onto this thread because I've thought about reaching out to a Swan advisor. That is a pretty major brain drain of good people from Swan - and I've tolerated them holding the keys to my IRA bitcoin because...
1) I've appreciated their education focus and the thought leadership they have in the area (of which Lyn Alden, Sam Callahan, Stephan Livera, Boyapati, Tomer, etc). At least 3 of those thought leaders are no longer with Swan.
2) they insist companies like Unchained (and their clients) may be caught offsides if the IRS decides to interpret the McNulty case to the point that having 2-of-3 keys to your IRA would be considered "unfettered access"...even though that 3rd key could act as an audit key. So I've kept with Swan while hoping nothing goes awry before I turn 59 1/2 (3 more years).
I think the only OTHER highly trusted provider in the Bitcoin IRA space - along with several other offerings - is Unchained...and they do happen to be in Austin (so hat tip from a Texan that went to UT Austin). Not sure if River does IRAs.
Regardless, I had considered spreading my eggs across more than one basket in order to mitigate risk. But I want an in-kind transfer of BTC to BTC.
Be great if Trump had a “workable congress” - and would love to see him assign cabinet members the tasks of reducing government expenditures through curtailed agency funding…or defunding/disbanding those agencies altogether.
Probably how William Shatner would say it...with a few extra periods.
"I will keep Elizabeth.Warren.away from your BITcoin."
Worth it for the Buffet quotes at the 3:52 mark and the Senator John Kennedy subcommittee interview afterwards.
"well, damn, it looks to me like we better do something"
