I have a 12 year old Renault Scenic works as charm, I love the cheap parts if I have to repair anything, however I own this car for sometime I hadn't to repair anything except the check that I have each 15000 KM and maybe the brakes I had to change.

my wife want even a bigger car, but I am not even thinking about changing this one, it is working and it is serving its purpose.

Same here, I own a 13 year old Honda Civic since 3 years now. Never had anything break on it, cheap as fuk to drive around in...

Beats me why I would spend hard earned money on a status symbol like a fancy car. Even if I was rich i'd probably go for something midrange than a Ferrari or Porsche...

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a somewhat general characteristic of a typical 'bitcoiner'. I have got a bunch of second-hand furniture, because it looks ok, does the job, and costs way less than new stuff. Don't have a car either. I would much rather invest the money that I save by doing so, in the hopes of becoming less dependent on income from my job, and doing only what I feel like doing.

Bolded part might be on to something. Bitcoin is by design encouraging saving and thus attracts people who would like to save. (But have only shitty ways of doing so thanks to the inflationary monetary system Grin

)

Not only does it encourage savings it encourages careful treatment of things including money. People can relate to buying a tiny amount a while ago which is now worth a lot more.

It is the savers' revenge - at last.
