Assuming that previous trends will replay. If not then you'll make the biggest mistake of your life. And I know plenty of people who've tried this in past cycles and ALL of them own less coins today than they owned before the started their experiments.

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?

Javascript tooling cannot be described in any way other than "Lovecraftian". Every problem is an infinite fractal or intensifying evil, wheels within tiny wheels of shortcuts, assumptions, and bugs that leave developers a gibbering husk, right after they finish changing npm's install-strategy, and right before they debug the inclusion of multiple svelte runtimes in their project.

It's kind of beautiful actually.

I blame Microsoft

History is written by the winners.

Ghandi was not who you think he was. He defended the caste system by using the fasting-till-death protest when the UK wanted to give some political power to the Untouchables. He was also into war and violence until he calculated that peaceful protest would play better in the western media. He also slept with naked teenage girls (though apparently he didn't do anything with them).

Who funds the view of Ghandi as a modern day saint? The Indian government.

Verify, don't trust.

I was on Windows with VS Community and Linux with VS Code. I have OSX but I dislike it

Svelte 5 is kinda cool

Wired and wireless both worked well for me. I mostly use VS Community and some VS Code, but both worked well.
