All depends on your own circumstances, at least you've got a plan though! I suppose if I didn't do my little sabbatical, maybe I wouldn't be a maxi now. And having experienced "retirement", I think when I do finally get there I need productive stuff to do. It's not good for your mental health to just bum around, fun for a month or 2 but gets you down after a while.

The far east does sound very nice though, certainly sunnier than North Wales 🤣

lol, I wish! I’m very cautious of early retirement. I was really dumb in my first bull market (2017) and gave up work for 8months thinking I was a genius and had enough corn. Then spent all my corn and had to get a job. I spent that time off properly researching bitcoin and that’s when I became a toxic maxi but still regret not working and stacking through that time - I would be retiring now if I did!

Finally had it with my fiat job. New job search starts in the New Year.

Work Xmas do last night. Here are my insights from normie land

- Brexit is still responsible for much of the bad in the world

- inheritance tax is great because those spoiled kids didn’t earn that money and whoever that tax money is going to deserve it more

- one day soon they’re gonna get their finances sorted out and join the rich in benefiting from asset price inflation, the “diversified portfolio” of stonks and “crypto” is the way

Ah man, they’re ngmi

Ok, turns out I’m bad at crimping Ethernet cables, oops

I don’t think so, it’s forbidden to admit you’re wrong or don’t know in Clown World though!

I’d vote for somebody committed to shrinking the state, don’t care if they’re left or right! Fake austerity from Cameron is the closest we got, now everyone thinks you can’t do that now but don’t know they never actually spent less 🤣

He just picks populist topics and goes to the centre ground. Probably Rupert Lowe and Steve Baker are the nearest to decent politicians we have. That’s why I gave up voting!

I'm watching this political podcast from nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx

It's the same uninformed rhetoric but with a different hat on.

Imagine having Bitcoin (development, mining, node running etc...) controlled by a non Bitcoiner?

It would be sheer lunacy.

Why does any politician talk with any authority about anything?

The first sign of intelligence is admitting you know nothing, that is both the start of the journey and the end of the journey.

Stop messing about with things you have never studied and certainly never understood.

Admit you know nothing and do what any good business leader does and find somebody that does. Put them in charge. They report to you, but they are in charge.

Did bother watching this one! Tice is an idiot, he flip flops as much as Starmer. He also supported lockdowns and mandatory vax for NHS/care workers

Power is back 💡

Thank fuck for that, makes you realise how useful electricity is!

Ah man, makes me think I need a proper battery backup, if anything just to keep the freezer running. Got a bunch of food in there, the milk already smells iffy!

I’ve got a couple of small battery packs and my MacBook lasts forever so currently managing to watch the Grand Prix with 4g tethering. It’s not quite the dark ages 😉

Yeah, all good on that front! Just hope it comes back on to save the food in the fridge/freezer! One phase has been restored but the only thing that works is an led lamp, quite strange

Still in the dark ages here! Estimated fix is 6pm according to Scottish power 😭

Still with power, hopefully the food in the freezer is ok 😩

I think by the time the population is that high, we will be a multi planetary species. A Mars colony would probably create some other token as they are out of the hash horizon of bitcoin. There’s a good WBD episode about this
