I think anyone who buys a pen worths thousands of dollars is a little bit mentally retarded.
Useful artwork is retarded? Maybe you're just poor. I have 2 cigarette lighters that together are worth well over $10k. I assure you that I am no where near mentally retarded. Small scale Lambo's. That's all. I don't smoke. Maybe I need a pen...
Or maybe hes just recognizes spending $10K on a pair of lighters or owning lighters worth that much is pretty fucking stupid. I dont care If someone bought BTC in 2010 and are worth 8 figures, respectable people dont go around calling people poor because they dont buy $3000 pens or $5000 lighters.
OK. So buying BTC cheap and holding it is OK, but other things are bad, got ya. I like nice things. I really like nice things that appreciate in value. I guess that's stupid. My poor comment was a reference to perspective, not a slight on economic situation. I've been poor. I didn't like it much so I worked to change things. Even when I was poor, my mind was open enough to understand different perspectives. Scale and perspective changes with economic situation. Deal with it. Respectable people don't go around calling people stupid because they are not poor (and make good investments).
