Not in the US, but isn’t there a tax benefit from the Roth IRA? Then I see the point, buy self custody Bitcoin with the tax savings? 😉
Nice, I’m also going to lay some solar arrays on deck. It will be exciting to see what my energy budget will be like 😅
Yes, might eventually have small generator to extend the motoring range.

I know the feeling, stay safe!
What happened when you had the boat at the mooring over the winter?
Good Sunday friends!
Looking forward to go sailing again.
Here is upwind sailing at the North Sea

NEW EPISODE DROPPED...
I met up in San Diego to discuss freedom technologies with Alex Gladstein from the Human Rights Foundation.
Listen https://open.spotify.com/episode/71LIYc7DFKtJMwNdiOpBln?si=92ba59f22d9a4bf4
Awesome! Listening to Gladstein is always a blast!
Yes looking forward to having a functional boat!
The build:
-New prop shaft and shaft seal.
-48v battery system
-12kw electric motor
Also to be done due spring:
Rudder, rails, mainsail boom (might order one in aluminium)
The battleground for the winter:
Cleaning and painting bilges and tanks. Then I will install new electricals and a motor. 
Yes, what I’m thinking also, and the forces down here would be compressing. They might be just to hinder sloshing.
Around 500 liters. I also wonder if the dividers are structural or not.. I recon if I can get 10-20 kWh down there I’m good
Diesel tank emptied. I wonder how much batteries I can fit in it.

Might cut the shaft tomorrow. The shaft might need replacement anyways, and I definitely need new bearings.
Seems like the puller is too weak. Stopping before the bendy bits kills me 🤨
So far you are almost right. Seems the puller is to weak as I’m bending the black bolts. Stopping before this gets really uncomfortable..
We’ll see 🤞😆
