Fucked up indeed. I'm 60 now found bitcoin in 2017 went down all the rabbit holes, as you do, gave up drink and drugs, went carnivore, started exercising, didn't get jabbed and now I pretty much walk alone, but I'm happy.ππ₯ππ«πΉππ€ππ
Yes, I do. I like it either way ripe or unripe. We've got a few mango trees so my mrs makes boiled mango rolls which always increases my weight by a few kgs. That variety in the picture is really yummy when ripe.

So I've now used bitcoin lightning to by gift cards for PT gas station and Lotus's supermarket using bitrefill. Living the dream in Thailand. Plus someone came to the house looking to buy some of my mrs' fermented fish but we only had raw and they wanted cooked but this means they uded btc maps to find us. ππΉππππ«ππ€#siamstr grownostr #plebstr

I love it but there are different varieties. Where I live my favourite is called Mawn Thong and the best ones are grown in Rayong province. There's one called karn Yao which is out of my price range. The best ones are grown in Nonthburi I believe. Talking about thick and creamy in your mouth the first time I tried it I was awoken by my Mrs who said "you've gotta try this" she stuck it in my mouth and in my half awake half dream state I said "wow it tastes like angel spunk" π π
That's beautifulπ
A story of a #Bitcoin #pleb and his friend:
Back in 2018 I orange pilled with a close friend of mine. We both lump summed into BTC. Rode the wave up to $13k, back down to $4k. At this time, 2019, I started weekly DCAing. My friend did not, but he held on. Then BTC rocketed to $69k - and I confess that I was euphoric during this run - and then back down to $16k in Dec '22. This drop felt bad, but I knew it was not going to crash to zero. Kept DCAing, lost track of average cost, rinsed out emotion regarding highs and lows and started reading Antonopoulos and Ammous and learning about economics (Austrian school vs Keynes, etc) and the underlying technology powering Bitcoin. The ratio to fiat slowly became irrelevant to me. At this time at the low of the cycle \~$16k, my friend said, "my wife thinks its a scam. I am taking profits and getting out". He also got burned on numerous shitcoins during this period. He treated it as an investment, a way to profit in dollars. This is where we diverged.
I treated BTC as a lifeboat. A savings account that can't be debased. I never sold a satoshi for fiat. Not one. But I do buy things when I can (and immediately replace the sats) and give to my family on special occasions - still trying to orange pill them. I continue to DCA weekly and will not stop until I stop earning fiat. Now my friend looks at this bull run and feels like he completely missed the opportunity. This is because he still thinks of it as an investment where USD is the real prize, inflating his USD stack is his goal. Not mine. Once the mind set flips and the orange pill is deeply internalized, one comes to the realization that **the true prize comes from owning assets that \*cannot\* be debased.**
TLDR: Stack your sats. Don't be concerned with the ratio to fiat. HODL.

I got my mate in to bitcoin showed him how to keep it in cold storage but, he was seduced by the dark side of shitcoinary and chasing yield he lost 11 bitcoin on celcius. I tried to warn him but he was listening to Raul Pal and paid the price. I tried to warn him about the covid vax too but no. He doesn't talk to me any more. πππ€
