okay long story short fam I was misdiagnosed with a brain aneurysm in May of this year after a car accident.

fast forward after many tests and appointments, they then conclude it’s an AVM.

fast forward some more stress and tests and specialists, turns out it’s not an AVM but a harmless larger vein and I just got the results today.

Y’ALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW FUCKING STRESSED IVE BEEN THE LAST FEW MONTHS HOLY SHIT I AM SO HAPPY AND RELIEVED RIGHT NOW MERRY CHRISTMAS HUG YOUR LOVED ONES I LOVE YOU ALL.

WOULD STACK THIS DIP BUT ALREADY ALL IN.

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?

Trying to purge notes from relays when they use my npub to convict me of thought crime

Nothing scares me more than an army of drones with giant dildos glued to them.

That mountain glow 😍

Jaguar's electric only concepts.

*Sigh* they are ⚰️ 💀 to me. Though these might look like renders, this DVC exists in the metal. Official unveiling later today in Miami.

This new chapter of Jaguar has fallen far from its history rich and rooted tree.

Every place I go I imagine what car would best fit the place.

Wyoming is definitely Ford F-150 King Ranch Dually country.

I accidentally watched television, why do you have so many pharmaceutical adverts??

Thinking of starting a business where I harvest the salt from Nocoiner tears, sell it, and use the profits to buy more #bitcoin

Another magnificent art piece from one of my favourite Swiss artists, Fabian Oefner. From his "Disintegrating" series - this time a Ferrari F40

Ya.. this one's a keeper as it is. I think the Singer folks wouldn't touch such a gem to "reimagine". Certainly not a 3.6 in this condition.
