When does one sell their ₿itcoin?

The answer is simple when something means more to them than their ₿itcoin.

I wanted to create a memory of my dad & I going to a track day together, racing motorcycles around the track, battling each other for a better lap time, stopping for lunch chatting about how each other is riding & all the rest of that jazz.

I have watched him race many times before, albeit only ever from the side line, with his health deteriorating fast to the point he may never get on another motorcycle again, I decided I needed to act quickly & I would sell some ₿itcoin to achieve this goal when I mentioned to him I wanted to buy a bike he told me I was "too old to learn how to ride a motorcycle".

That didn't stop me wanting to buy one, I decided I was going to ask for forgiveness instead of permission.

This didn't sit right with me though, so I told my father I'm buying a bike regardless, he said "ok if I can't stop you at least get a bike I want to ride as well & I'll go you half's". This was great I would only need to sell half as much ₿itcoin as I thought.

Although I couldn't shake the feeling of, in 4 or 5 years time I would look at the current ₿itcoin price and work out how much the bike actually cost me.

I then decided to play the fiat game & I would look at getting a loan for the bike.

When I was looking into loans, the companies that would be making money off the interest they charged me wanted to give me more money (so strange right?). I thought why not get more fiat, I took a loan out for the bike plus an extra amount which worked out the same as the price for the bike, I told my dad to keep his money I bought the bike and bought the equivalent amount of ₿itcoin.

The loan is for 7 yrs very typical. Now not only do I get to keep my original ₿itcoin, I got the motorcycle, I'm creating memories with my father before I can't anymore, and I also got to increase my stack.

I have something real, the bike.

I have something strategic, the ₿itcoin.

but most importantly,

I have something priceless, memories with my father.

Well played, winning.

I do in front of my kids, we have a very open home as far as conversations go. No topic is off limits. I think as long as you are talking/teaching/learning together it is a net positive. Half of my adult kids partake and the other half don’t. In the end, I don’t care if they smoke as long as they keep their shit together. I love that they respect my honesty growing up and extend their honesty to me now. Win/win.

I’ve incorporated a couple other things at the same time as blocking blue light so I can’t be 100% certain which is helping most but my wife is definitely convinced. Corded headphones and blocking the blue light are probably the most helpful.

…….or I’m crazy🤪

I’ve only recently met bitcoiners in real life. It is pretty amazing how likes and interests align more with them than any other group or demographic that I’ve ran across. I think the common thread is that a bitcoiner is generally a free thinker. A free thinker tends to question everything and because of that they tend to make what I feel is wise choices. Not only economics, but healthy food and lifestyles. One should try to surround themselves with quality, likeminded people.

Water seeks its own level.

…..and I will do me, the shoe fits comfortably.

Another #bitcoin meetup in the books. I so much look forward to my local meetups.

We let our freak flags fly by not only talking bitcoin topics but past, current and future civilizations, space travel, time travel, energy generation, pyramids, conspiracies, religions, psychedelics.

This group of initial strangers are quickly becoming friends. I’m not sure if ₿itcoin attracts free thinkers or vice versa but in the end it doesn’t matter. I’m happy to meet “my people”, the weird, honest, sincere nerds of Bitcoin.

Get out there and find your clan. We are the future.

Gold is a gateway drug to #bitcoin

Goldbugs just haven’t progressed yet. It will come with time.

Fine by me, it will be the equivalent of all US $100 bills having traces of cocaine on them.

I got a gram, but it’s in my pocket.

Guess y’all just weren’t meant to be.
