Maybe use a reputable source, as well
Plan for 20-30% CAGR tops
Anything better is gravy
Does anyone have any ideas regarding whether #bitcoin will continue to produce 100-150% averaged yearly returns in the medium term?
On the one hand, I get the smaller downs, smaller ups argumentation.
On the other hand, it's almost exclusively been autists, nerds, and libertarians who have supplied buying pressure up until very recently, and now we're knocking on the door of its being "part of a well-balanced portfolio" for hedge funds, pensions, nations, and large cap multinational corporations, etc.
This will bring a tsunami of capital this asset has never dreamed of.
What say you, panel?

No one knows nor should pretend to know
I don’t believe we will see diminishing returns yet because we’re not leveling off in adoption yet, but literally anything can happen that can suppress price and adoption, at least in the short term
The only thing we can be certain of is that the dollar is doomed…if we start talking hyperinflation, all the models are broken
Yep, people act like 3 data points is enough for a reliable trend
I only own my primary residence, so very very little.
I think it’s a better asset if you’re able to reduce costs and maintenance via your own handyman skills.
I have a buddy who lost a lot in stocks, but is a journeyman level handyman. My advice to him was to pretty much go all in on RE because he has an edge there, rather than gambling in stocks.
Yep, I mean, I want to hope he’s just playing the game here, but no real need to dish on self custody. He’s probably right to point out that extremist concerns are probably not very relevant, which is also true for the other side that thinks def custody is bad.
Both have their place for widespread adoption. L2s and L3s will eventually have some flavor of custody, which have some useful applications, just as self custody certainly does in eliminating counter party risk.
Housing should never have been monetized, though
RE is a hard asset, so Bitcoiners shouldn’t hate on it so hard, but too many inferior assets have been monetized that shouldn’t have been.
In addition to taxes and insurance, the maintenance costs can be highly variable and uncertainty (not great for an asset). Additionally, not very liquid and higher slippage when selling.
RE has its place, but Bitcoin SHOULD lead to a demonetization of real estate moving forward.
Lastly, you need to consider total returns, not cash flow or money udders. Cash flow lulls people into a false sense of assurance, imo.
You mean the free market doing its thing is a centralization risk?
No, it’s not. It changes nothing about the decision making of the network.
It may be a honeypot and a price risk, but don’t mistake that for less decentralization.

I think I got it sorted…I disconnected then reconnected my wallet. Looks the same as before, but I think it works now.

I’m using Alby.
I’m able to zap your post, but I’m assuming you didn’t receive anything. Yeah? 
#asknostr
So I see in my album that the Addy bot zapped me some sats yesterday, and I enabled the zap button, but not seeing in zaps pull says out of my Alby
The Addy bot says everything is kosher with my Lightning address…any thoughts on why sats aren’t leaving my account when I try to zap?

Stock bros don’t get that +/- 5% moves are perfectly normal for Bitty. They think it’s crashing…
I hope they get it one day

It’s going to be great holding Bitcoin into retirement. I’m not sold yet on generating yield, but volatility should decrease which will be ideal as we get older, especially after being conditioned to high volatility.

If you have a portion of your portfolio in gold, you should consider replacing it with this
Check the whole thread out. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s gives an explanation!
Well, that’s a crock of shit…not unexpected, unfortunately…ty!
Thank you…why is that not default?
