1. A 50 year marriage

1. 50 bitcoin

bought the lexus es 300h for 0.3 bitcoin

took it home for christmas, my family was in awe. couldn’t believe that the guy who used to live in mom’s basement can now afford this kind of car

been hodling for almost 8 years, when i started 0.3 btc was around $850

patience pays off

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?

When #Bitcoin hits $100K —

When you are the biggest tech guy on youtube but still do not understand Bitcoin after all these years....... We are still so earlyyyyy.

A lot of people telling us we got lucky right now.

I just hit them with “you’re right. Pure luck.”

My theory with nocoiners is they’re like mushrooms… feed them shit and keep them in the dark.

I had a nightmare last night where I was explaining to a family friend why solana was retarded, and they just kept retorting with, “but it’s got crypto” like that scene from idiocracy.

It was terrifying.

After cutting bread and pasta, I found my sugar cravings have mostly disappeared. Still eating fruit/veg, along with more meat, chicken and fish. I can see more definition in my stomach than I've seen in probably a decade. Not tired, no feelings of excessive hunger, etc. So far so good!
