I want to live today, and make my wife happy too today. but I also want to multiply my money in a year. what to do??))
can buy a handbag for $ 250 and 250 invest in bitcoin?

Why not give her $250 worth of Bitcoin?  First, get her mad that you didn’t do that a year ago.  If we use “the $500 handbag” as a unit of account, then $250 worth of Bitcoin a year ago would now be worth about five handbags.  If you pull it off right, she may become obsessed with Bitcoin; that seems win-win for you.

Maybe splurge an extra $100 for a hardware wallet, so you have something to put under the tree and she can keep her coins safe.

Of course, you should only give her Bitcoin if you really love her.  Diamonds are compressed charcoal.  Numbers are forever.  “For bettre or for wores, to haev and to hodl.”

Think you that I wax romantic?  Truly, Bitcoin is for lovers.  y2 = x3 + 7 is a svelte elliptic curve you can embrace to your bosom:


Oh, I would double-hash points on that (and I do, every time I use Bitcoin).  Yet there are limits to intimacy.  My very heart may be naked before my ladylove, but she will never touch my secret keys!

And how much more unnecessary, in principle, things we buy throughout the year. […] And in general, of course, if you are confident in the future bitkoyna and its continued growth in price, then you need to moderate saving for investing in bitkoyn.

Ah, the benefits of deflationary money:  People stop buying junk they don’t need.  Instead they want precious, precious bits.  Anybody who was profligate with Bitcoin a year or three (or more) ago has been undergoing corrective shock therapy, poorer but perhaps wiser.  Or at least, sadder.  Methinks many a would-have-been “Bitcoin millionaire” is now cursing at himself amidst a cheap pile of consumer baubles.  At least, some got pizza.  I hear that food tastes better when it’s bought with today’s value equivalent of over $110 million.  Or maybe it tastes like ashes.
