Beef & Bitcoin

Sacrifices you make depend on your goals. I did without central heating for a year to stack harder. It's ok to squeeze your food bill to buy a big dip but it's only sustainable short term. I think spending bitcoin comes later, much later for me personally.

All bitcoiners talk about opportunity cost, eating noodles and keeping your old underwear to stack more. I did this. I'm seven years in now and stacked as hard as I possibly could, left nothing on the table. But recently I've hit a limit. It feels like that scarcity mindset stage has reached it's useful conclusion. I'll still sweep excess into corn but the absolute focus on stacking is done for me. The longer you stack the less difference it makes and this alters your priorities. Life has opportunity cost too, no matter how much corn you end up with, you can't go back in time with it. I'm starting to spend on what I value not just what I need. I think once you've done the work and made the sacrifices for your stack, think hard about what comes next.

EV,s πŸ™€

The benefits of driving an EV is the world’s shortest book. You pay more the vehicle, more for insurance, it takes hours to recharge, your range is half that of an ICE vehicle, they are useless in remote areas without power, there is almost no second hand market due to the replacement battery cost, the batteries only last 10 years, the batteries can spontaneously combust and can’t be extinguished and can cause devastating cascading fires in car parks, you can’t charge them at home if you use on-street parking or live in an apartment without charging infrastructure, the batteries stop working in cold northern climates during winter, charging stations can’t be scaled to accommodate long weekends and holiday periods, towing a boat or caravan halves the battery range, the grid cannot cope with any significant EV penetration without a complete rebuild at enormous cost, the majority of vehicles will be made in China creating a geo-political dependency on a hostile nation, and they weigh more causing road damage and the tires wear out faster.

You can’t run the aircon when stuck in a traffic.

They will be written off after a minor accident as the battery may have been damaged and is dangerous .

They can be remotely disabled.

When you drive them you are exposed to a lot of EMF.

In a serious accident it is very dangerous for rescue services to cut you out .

The current electricity grid cannot cope with the increased loads that would be necessary if they were widely adopted.
