Last Notes npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO My colleagues are obsessed with their pension contributions. They're putting as much as 35% of their salaries into it. All of that to ensure their nest egg is enough for a rich retirement. I worry the only thing they'll get in 30 years is fucked by the government with an inflation-shaped dildo. #bitcoin npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO A credit card is the only way I can have zero fiat stored at all times. Put all my monthly spending on it, then sell BTC to clear the balance every month npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO it's entirely possible I haven't hung around enough rich families to see the weak child syndrome with my own eyes npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO Weak children of rich parents is the rule, not the exception. I often wonder what I can do with my kids to not make them little cunts should #bitcoin make me as wealthy as I think & hope it does. Do you think about this at all, and how will you / are you handling it? npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO I often wonder if I'll be able to sit back and watch a frothy #bitcoin bull market unfold with a calm, all knowing disposition. Or whether I'll turn into an emotional, trigger happy psychopath like I did last time. I hope the former. I suspect the latter. npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO My mind is such a cunt. It readily makes cognitive leaps over my knowledge holes, and makes me feel like I truly grok a subject. Then as soon as I'm questioned about it in the real world, it sits back and leaves me a stuttering mess. npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO It's not your fault HODL, it's not your fault. npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO watched @npub1sg6…f63m & @npub1qny…95gx's talk in Riga, and nostr finally clicked for me. It was a moment similar to when first discovering Bitcoin. 🤯 npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO 5 languages?! That's just greedy. Where can I pre-order? npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO stay humble, stack sats, delete your X account. @npub1qny…95gx npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO I've never felt early to anything until #Bitcoin. I've never felt REALLY early to anything until #nostr npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO My ownership of Bitcoin has definitely played a part in my optimism for the future, and as a consequence, my family planning. I've become somewhat of a natalist now 😅 npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO Bitcoin has been the gateway to a 5-year deconstruction of many conditioned beliefs. I still haven't worked out if I've joined a sophisticated cult or not, but I'm here for the ride. 🚂 npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO $58k npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO I've got two young kids. If someone were to stop me in the street and ask, "are you happy right now?" I'd answer "fuck no". However, when I manage to zoom out even just a little bit, I concede I'm the happiest I've ever been. Parenting is an absolute mind bender. The parallels to Bitcoin are also hard to miss. npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO I think what HODL's trying to say is that he only cares about what can be, unburdened by what has been npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO Only been here a bit, but compared to Twitter it's like a peaceful oasis where nuance isn't taken round the back and shot. npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO https://m.primal.net/KJIp.jpg npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO Just re organised my finances to go 100% Bitcoin. It’s feels a bit like I’m rearranging the chairs on a rocket ship considering all my wealth was in cold storage anyway, but psychologically it feels great. #GetOnZero #bitcoin @npub1ex7…vyt9 https://m.primal.net/KIzh.jpg npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO Very resourceful! I can just see the infomercial now.... "For just 3 easy payments of $19.99, get the belly fat burning workout system where your son gives you the 6-pack you always wanted" npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO How physical parenthood is took me by complete surprise. I genuinely don't know how unfit people do it! npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO What he said. npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO Just went back to look at the details... Initially I took 13k out mid-2021. Think the interest rate was around 4.5% on that one. Repayment was roughly £250 per month. In June this year I topped the loan balance up to £15k and went for a longer term which kept the £250 monthly payment the same and gave me an extra £6k to throw at BTC. (So I've borrowed £19k in total) npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO I've done exactly the same with HSBC. £15K @ 6.6%. Already WELL into the green! npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO I thought you'd never ask. npub1t9mr7uyqss4uuqmtl4vgu4xw4xyftuq4nnuqkfrps6cvdm87u3zs3rjd8a WILCO Responsibility is worrying about the future of others, so they're free to live in the present.
