i don't at all doubt that you are well off. You have been posting in this thread for some time now. I am happy to hear that you are satisfied with the car you have chosen to carry you through this life. I am looking for advices of the kinds of car that the bitcoin folks recommend (aside from the cliche laMBo!). currently drizing a handa CR-V. Your thoughts appreciated!

I have my doubts about whether you are serious. Here, we are talking about bitcoin, and frequently talking about cars or other material possessions is either tangential or weakly related to some bitcoin related point.

In regards to cars, I have frequently been of the philosophy that they are a practical piece of depreciating property - and in my first years of building my investments, I tended to bargain shop for cars because I was still establishing my investments.

Perhaps bitcoin has changed the game, to some extent, because bitcoin is a kind of investment that is much more flexible for entrance of dumb money, which I would have considered myself when I just left high school and for many years thereafter, as I was establishing my various investments. So, in some sense, bitcoin is very powerful for a young person who may be strategic about how s/he decides to invest and strategize into it.

A car remains a reflection of your overall lifestyle and needs, and surely would not need to be permanent statement, unless your style is to buy a car and drive it for 30 years. Some folks buy random cars, and they understand the temporary nature of their car(s).

Some cars hold their value better than others and some cars are more luxurious than others, and some have more bells and whistles than others.

Seems to me that there is a delayed gratification concept that many people who are building their wealth should attempt to consider, so in that regard, a practical car can serve very well until other financial foundations are in place.

Also, if you invest well into bitcoin, and you have storage space, then you could have several kinds of cars to suite your various needs. I have had periods in my life where I have owned several modes of transportation at the same time, but interests and lifestyle change, and sometimes it might not be practical to maintain more than one mode of transportation, and even in some cities, having a car might not be practical (but a nice bicycle or motorcycle might be more practical for that location).

Thank you JJG for your thougthul response. I agree completely, depreciating (who makes that decision BTW???). I would like to invite you and your signifcant(s) to my compound in AL (I already invited my ma) for a 2018 year-end BTC celebration. Please let me know if you are available, PM for details. Most sincerely, junckmoneky.
