Today is my birthday 🎁

Yesterday I took a group of friend’s out for steak.

I paid the whole bill and it felt great.

I could obviously not have done it without bitcoin.

Today I surfed, finished a video about financial empowerment in Peru (publishing in one hour) and I’m taking my other half out for Thai food.

Again, thank you Satoshi.

Love to you all 💜

have a bloody great Christmas 🎅

and I am so grateful to bitcoin, to Nostr and to the wonderful on here people building a better future

🧡

GOOD MORNING NOSTR.

LIVE FREE. 🫡

🎶 Christmas is coming, the price is getting fat! Please put a #Bitcoin in the old man’s hat. If you haven’t got a Bitcoin, 100,000 sats will do. If you haven’t got 100,000 sats, God bless you! 🎵

We only have 11 days left in 2024. I believe my prediction of all major clients supporting outbox by the end of the year is going to fail.

Sadness.

Honestly who cares if 108k was the top this cycle

I’m happy to stack another 4 years below 100k

This is an extremely telling chart

Goodnight Nostratis 🙌

They don’t want you to know this, but you can find most book texts online for free if you search the name + pdf.

Good luck 🤞 nostr:note1mr0wagwxkkgzh09yk73casz9k6kp4dlgrnrncdwgye53g580776quzxyrx

I’m like all I would have said would have been said in the video + videos are much easier to absorb for the common person especially in 10 minutes.

Thought experiment.

Option # 1

Let’s say you have 10 bitcoin and we hit 2 million in the next few years.

You’re tempted so you sell it for 20 million dollars.

After taxes you’re be left with 16MM.

Which you use to comfortably generate 1.2MM a year in the tradfi markets.

So you take the money and retire.

Bitcoin crashes 60% back to 800k.

For a few years you feel like a genius. You enjoy your new rich person lifestyle.

You even buy back a few bitcoin. 2 to be exact. 20% of what you used to have.

Then bitcoin rises over the next decade to be worth 50 million per coin.

You’re worth 120 million now. And you decide to sell a little over half a coin and upgrade your lifestyle again to be able to generate an additional 2 million a year.

You’re now on paper worth 120 million, you generate 3.2 million a year (266k a month) and you’ve been largely stress free for the last decade.

Your kids will inherit roughly 1.62 bitcoin from you upon your death.

You have some level of regret about not hodling through, but you’ve been largely stress free and the mental health benefit was worth it in your mind.

Vs.

Option # 2

You have the same 10 bitcoin but you Hodl them.

Your stress levels are persistently higher.

You also decide to retire when Bitcoin hits 2 mil, but you decide to do so in bitcoin terms.

Your plan is to sell a little bitcoin as needed in order to fund your lifestyle.

This is roughly 1-3 million sats a month. Depending on bitcoin price.

Over the course of 10 years you end up selling or spending 2.4 bitcoin and are still left worth 7.6btc when bitcoin reaches 50 million.

Your net worth is 380 million.

You’ve reduced your lifestyle in bitcoin terms down to a million sats a month. (500k) or 6 million per year. You’re 46, Assuming you live until you’re 90 you will pass down 2.32 bitcoin to your kids.

You have no regrets about the way you played it, but your stress was consistently higher and there were a few scary months along the way.

Which option do you choose?

1 or 2?
