Laundry day… la sigh 😮‍💨

I've wondered (but completely detached from the idea of what could have been) what kind of person I'd become if I were raised by a complete set of parents.

It doesn't matter, IMO, when you grow a brain and become your own person, you get to choose who you want to become.

⚡️According to U.S. Central Command; a Friendly-Fire Incident occurred earlier tonight over the Red Sea, with a U.S. Navy F/A-18F “Super Hornet” from the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) being Accidentally Shot-Down by the Ticonderoga-Class Guided-Missile Cruiser, USS Gettysburg (CG-64). Both Pilots were able to Safely Eject over the Water, and have since been Rescued; with one of the Pilots suffering Minor Injuries.

Hey nostr, just got back from a little gathering with some friends in a nearby town. We had some good conversation, good food, and just fun. The lady that hosted it was bragging about how i helped her with her btc setup, with a coldcard and all. Then another friend asked if i could host the next gathering and maybe give some info about btc to everyone. Of course i said yes, i just didnt realize anyone else in the group was interested. So it was fun and i'm glad i went. Yall have a good evening nostr friends. Stay happy, healthy, and free. #grownostr #homesteading

Finished the countryside. What do you think?

It looks like I bought #Bitcoin at the top again. ⛰️

Was drawn back to this. I've changed jobs a couple months ago and it has been rough. I took a significant pay cut to learn two new areas of my profession I have minimal experience with.

I've been starting early and working late. I've been feeling like I can't keep my head above water but that it's going to be worth it. This is going to set me up to be able to really provide not only a better financial life for my family, but better quality time as well. I've just got to keep pushing forward. I've also got to not do it the wrong way so I work myself into an early grave.

I've lived without "dry powder" for 2+ years, and nothing has become more annoying then everyone talking about buying the dip every -10% correction.

I used to do this, but being 105% in is way better.

If you invite me over for something i deemed not important….

You have to pick. 1 or 2?

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?
