Totaling at something like $7M to $20M a year ....

So it's not as bad as you think.... Wink

You say that maintenance is not expensive Cheesy

, I prefer not to think about the amount of BTC you have. Cool

My stack is significant... but won't let me buy a ship like that .... yet Tongue

Anyone buying a ship like that is going to be attempting to generate some income from it too, right? I mean if you want the ship to be sustainable? Can you really imagine that you are going on trips and the ship only has staff or maybe just a 100 guests or so? It would feel nearly empty with those kinds of numbers of passengers, so I am having some difficulties understanding a personal use case... gotta be a kind of business boat, no?

Another scenario would be that the purchaser has ONLY a short time to live or something like that, but just making sure that the management of the boat staff is not engaging in shenanigans would take a decent amount of time to make sure that you have a good manager, if you don't want to manage it yourself - which would be kind of time-consuming, I would think.

So, at minimum, I think that anyone, even remotely interested in getting a boat like that better have at least 5x the yearly maintenance capital (left over after making the purchase of the yacht and the helicopter... hahahaha)....

So, if we are saying minimum of $250million in BTC value, then at today's prices that would be about 25,000 bitcoins, and if the BTC price goes to $100k, then that would be 2,500 bitcoin, and if the BTC price goes to $1million, then that would be a mere 250 BTC. Do we have to both make sure that we have 250BTC and wait for the BTC price goes to $1million? By the way, with my recommendations about selling a bit of BTC all the way up the ladder, then I am thinking that in order to have around 250 BTC when (or if) BTC prices reach $1million, then today, the HODLer would need to have about 330 BTC to account for the on-the-way shavenings.

TLDR (for Hueristic and udder peeps like dat): In other words, in order to have BIG ASS dreams, you better be preparing ur lil selfie, and have enough of a BTC stash in order to accomplish such BIG ASS dreams without putting your finances and/or psychology in any kind of unnecessary state of stress. You heard it here, first. Wink

If you buy a ship like this you can occasionally rent it out. They go for $425,000 a week so rent it out 10-20 weeks a year and your running costs are zero.

I think you would need to be a billionaire to do something like this.
So if you hold 1 BTC you need to wait 10 years Grin

If anyone gets a ship like that don't forget to host a WO party 🤪😇

How much they gonna charge us? Would it be a week-long party, or some other duration? I suspect a lot of peeps, here, would be nervous about going on such a boat party - even though boating accidents sound good in theory, it's the kind of thing that most prudent WO members would prefer to avoid.
