It is only by controlling our desires that we can control ourselves.

Phone case. Otter Box. Drop the phone and it survives.
The #BitcoinCircularEconomy needs this. How would you see this happening? A hashtag in every relevant note and a filter (negating need to search)?

You're a wonderful person.
There is a secret gathering in the woods behind the village.
Go to them.
They will listen, they will help, they will care.
Look for the words “Bitcoin Meetup”.

Opportunity Cost has been helping me understand the cost of my products and their pricing in sats. Even my electricity costs! Thank you so much!
Agreed about current trend in pricing, and how hard it is to forecast the future in the current environment.
Enforcement of any punishment would be at a local level, usually through sheriffs, so location is crucial. Sheriffs have a lot of power to say “no”.
For others who might read this and currently view a domicile through the net worth lens, consider these about renting.
You usually can’t control security, maintenance, impact of neighbors (especially in a multi-unit), rental price, or the moral character of the individual you have dependencies on (the landlord).
People can hide from life, just like quiet quitters in the workplace.
People can enter into commitments that make future decisions for them, so that they don’t have to make those decisions themselves from the astounding, beautiful, and confusing array of options that our Creator provides us every day.
I realized this morning that a former friend didn’t choose freedom: he gave up choice via debt (with limited ROI and no cash flow).
The debt will determine what he can and cannot do, and what his energy must be spent on.
To this, he added children. Not to do his best and give more love to more people. Not to experience the joy & fear that non-parents cannot understand. Not because raising children is the highest spiritual calling and our best shot at making a better world.
Again, so that he had less choices to make in the future, and so that he could hide from the burden of freedom.
Her work is well-researched, important, and impressive…but I wonder if doom isn’t her brand now.
I wonder if she’s not a nihilistic former liberal sad that “progress” and utopianism didn’t work out, so now everything is bad.
I wonder if she’s read the first 4 chapters of Genesis and said to herself, “Oh that’s how people have always been…what did I expect?”

So a home is an asset that has a lot of utility that other assets don’t have. If you want to grow food, learn woodworking, and have a place to sleep - you can’t find that utility on-chain.
It may be difficult to find that combination renting as well, and anything you build may not be able to go with you and must be abandoned, destroyed, and/or restarted at your next residence.
I say this because the ability to spin-up projects, learning, family, and community that a home provides often don’t make it into spreadsheet calculations, but they are more valuable than net worth.
Since you have a timeline and use the word “position” though, I gather you are asking about investment timing as well.
Rates & prices are currently historically high. If a 2008-like event occurs in the next 5 years, then that might change dramatically, and you might want to buy.
If they keep inflating the ballon, or if they are slowly trying to deflate it, then prices and rates may stay elevated for some time.
Myself and others in our Bitcoin community are asking the same questions, and looking to make real estate buys *sometime soon*, so we’re in the same boat.
I was cutting down brush in my backyard with a machete, but since Jason Vorhees used a machete too, my lawn care loses value or maybe is bad.

Bad question. She conflates usage with control, conflates a bad actor’s usage with your usage, and somehow both your usage and the network and all builders are less because bad guys hold or transact.

You were great. I was happy to listen to you guys while I mowed my lawn.

Opening intro music was amazing!
Home made and home grown pesto, peaches…and freeze-dried skittles for our Bitcoin meetup!
I ask, “Do you just want my affirmation & agreement…or my analysis?”
I have had people tell me the former, to which I say, “you’re absolutely correct.”

Yes. Could be a few things.
Have him reach out to support and they’ll explain it to him. They’re good about that.
WTF Panda Express?!?
