I’m in the US but i had a friend in SA get a second hand one from them with bitcoin, a so so experience but possible.
Congratulations mate i hope to follow in your footsteps
Here is the link to a place to buy a car: https://ferriscars.com/crypto-payments/
Just checked it out, works as advertised, thanks OPA team!
I had rental properties but they don’t grow in purchasing power as fast as bitcoin, even when you take into account the cash flow/tax savings/capital growth and equity growth. They are also a pain to manage. So i sold them and bought bitcoin, couldn’t be happier.
Me too not sure when it’s rolling out.
I like supporting bitcoin companies. I think of every Sat back as a dollar in 10 years time. Im really keen to get the credit card when it comes out so i can get closer to automating all my payments.

Awrsome work Wicked thanks for the visual encouragement to keep on stacking like a mad man.
All the options have costs and benefits, the aim was just to list some for consideration. Re4: an example is “meanwhile”.
1. Borrow fiat against btc collateral
2. Sell some btc for fiat
3. Sell covered call options
4. Take loans against the cash value of a bitcoin denominated life insurance policy
5. Find merchants that accept btc
Forcing workers to contribute to retirement savings schemes snd then taxing the unrealized capital gains on them.
I have s friend that just moved back to SA and bought s car with bitcoin ill get you the details.
Asking if someone would move somewhere is telling because the cost to do so is high. When someone says place X or Y is passing America but they don’t want to move there what they are communicating is that these places have redeeming qualities but overall where they are is actually better.
I took from your first note that you endorse socialism/communism, features of which include the abolishment of private property and centralizing banking and money issuance. This seems contrary to the ownership of bitcoin, which is designed to be unconfiscatable and not need banks. If you truly believe in socialism and communism this seems incompatible with bitcoin.
Risk of damage or theft probably makes leasing to risky for them. Buy an old Toyota Hilux now as well buy bitcoin with the difference to a new car cost and upgrade in 4 years
Consider leasing for four years. You get yo keep more money in bitcoin appreciating for another cycle. In the meantime you get to drive a new car for small monthly payments.
Those will rentals will sell them when they realize the opportunity cost of not owning bitcoin
Which of the socialist/communist countries that are leaving America behind do you suggest moving to? Will you be selling your bitcoin and adopting their central bank fiat? I think America has lots of room to improve, like most countries. The capitalism/socialism/communism debate is a red herring I don’t like any of them as they are currently practiced.
I think they called it the guilded age, America late 1800’s, when wages slowly went up snd cost of goods and services slowly went down. Probably pales in comparison to the richness of life in Cuba, Russia, China
The problem with modern capitalism is that they were forced to use Marxist central banks, endure high income taxes, wealth taxes and be brainwashed with public schools. In the same way “real communism “ hasn’t been tried, “real capitalism” hasn’t been practiced for over a hundred years. This late stage capitalism is just as much early stage communism. If only there was a free market for money the government couldn’t stuff up.
I like the idea of lots of open source free options that people or organizations provide of their volition. I think if the employers that need educated people provided scholarships / apprenticeships for the courses they need that would be a better alternative to government provided free education or loans.
It’s a product, user should pay, with a safety net for those that truly don’t have the means. I don’t approve of blanket ‘free’ stuff for everyone.
One of the advantages of violently overthrowing your European overlords is that you can start fresh. Australia unfortunately has devolved into socialism.
