In 2021 I had a significant portion of my family’s stack seeking yield on Blockfi and Gemini Earn because I thought I was late and felt compelled to “catch up.” Was lucky to pull out when something simply didn’t feel right, and that experience of flying too close to the sun meaningfully shaped the Bitcoin maximalist I am today. Not your keys, not your coins
Uber operates there and the first time we went (late ‘21), my wife wasn’t comfortable with renting a car so we used ride share pretty extensively. We Ubered our way around Playa El Tunco/Bitcoin Beach and also to get back to San Salvador. For data we have T-Mobile and used their $35 10-day unlimited data plan, which offers higher speeds and works well; their free international roaming doesn’t work so well.

No problem, what questions you got?
No, not this time - we’re missing it by a week due to some unfortunate timing. Taking her aunt home, catching some sand & sun, and coming back home to the kids at the end of the week
My wife is Salvadoreña born & raised, we’re flying out there tomorrow!

Safe space, what signposts have you missed or ignored over the years that’s caused you to have less #bitcoin than you could have?
Looking back at my #Bitcoin maxi journey, it took way too many signposts from the Universe for me to build the type of conviction I have today…
Shortly dated a girl in college that was CPU mining in late 2009
Best man transacted on Silk Road and at one point held 10k+ coins
Married a Salvadoreña 5 years before El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as national currency
Assigned a new-hire engineer in 2019 who somehow got me to read The Bitcoin Standard in the depths of the bear market while I was a Buffett fanboy
Hit $100k for the first time on my 36th birthday, which marked three full zodiac cycles
That ribeye was soul nourishing.
Yeah, exactly - no one size fits all answer to this question. Each individual’s circumstances are also shaped by prevailing economic conditions of the time
If you own a home you live in, I think way more often than not you end up okay. We lived in our first house for 7 years and it only required a 3% down payment with a sub-4% mortgage + PMI. When we sold, we netted $100k+ including staging, repairs, and closing costs. Even with occasional renovation, maintenance, and repairs we were still +$90,000, which we definitely wouldn’t have been if we rented the same home. I know one person IRL who had financially devastating consequences from owning the home his family still lives in, and it wasn’t related to a natural disaster.

Came for volatility, stayed for a stablecoin 😆
The supposed unwinding of the Yen carry trade back in August seems like such a distant memory now - what a time to load up on some cheap #Bitcoin
