and yeah I heard you updated from your shitty van to a nicer one

Don't you be callin' Bessie 'shitty' - them's fightin' words. I drove her for twenty years, because it was the vehicle that suited me at the time.

Fair enough....

though I cannot guarantee that in the future I might not devolve into loose references that seem to be denigrating on their face, but surely I am not really meaning to denigrate your personal subjective values in that regard.

Another factoid I let slip a while back: At the top of the market in late 2017, I sold enough to buy My Personal Lambo^tm.

I know about your mercedes or whatever it is.

Perhaps we have a misunderstanding of the meaning of My Personal Lambo^tm. It is That One Purchase made whose attributes are rather ostentatious as compared to needs or requirements for an object of that class. It need not be an actual Lamborghini. Indeed, in my case, it is not any sort of vehicle.

I doubt that we need to get into specifics because I largely already understood your intended meaning in regards to "lambo".

Some of us are well into the divestment phase.

Probably one of the first times that you mentioned that mostly "divestment phase" perspective of yourself. Shocked

Again, not at all. From the same time frame as above: I have already stated that I have retired. Which means I need to fund my Lavish Lambo Lifestyle^tm* off my accumulated holdings. Hence, Divestment phase.

You are being a bit back and forth here... so you gotta admit that.

OK, I will admit my role in this particular misunderstanding. Silly me for expecting that the trademark term on Lavish Lambo Lifestyle^tm would denote that the use of the term is tongue-in-cheek. Nay, other than My Personal Lambo^tm, I live pretty frugally. Always have. Which, of course, is what has allowed me to make the investments that have landed me in my current position.

I doubt that our misunderstanding is very BIG at all.

The only thing that I am suggesting (or perhaps leaning towards quibbling with) is that you are seemingly wanting to weave ideas of both frugality and opulence through your more recent posts in ambiguous ways that seem to be getting off topic in the sense of implying that your involvement in shitcoins has personally paid off.... rather than giving some proper (and likely deserved) credit to king daddy.

I had heard that you quit your regular job a couple of years ago.. so anyhow, that still would not necessarily mean that you are "well into the divestment phase" of your BTC unless you choose to start to make such divestments.

Gotta eat. That's gotta be funded somehow.

Do we really need to get into particulars? Any of us who have reached some more advanced age (and you are likely in such similar club as me, if not a bit more advanced) have likely built up a variety of cashflow sources, whether we draw upon them or not might be somewhat discretionary, at least in terms of which ones we might choose to draw upon. So in that regard, there may be some earlier years in our "retirement" in which we do not feel comfortable drawing upon certain resources that we have, but then we also might not have advanced so far that we perceive our life to be approaching dusk years, in terms of any kind of need to really dip into principle (rather than largely attempting to live in a more sustainable way that is not really dipping into principle) - so maybe in some sense, I am thinking that divestment has more of an "on balance" dipping into principle rather than sustainable aspects of our various overall investments that might still be riding without any dipping into them.

BTC Dominance

Yep.

I was a bit struck too (or maybe the better word choice would be "awed"?), by the jbreher strategic placement of that unimportant metric.

'unimportant metric'
Roll Eyes

It's almost as if you are making my point for me.

It is possible that I misunderstood what you were saying, perhaps? But, I doubt it because I have heard you spout out nonsense as if the BTC dominance was some kind of an important metric, including the post in which you used that BTC dominance term in your description of a supposed bitcoin blockalypse (referring to late 2017/early 2018) and a speculated upcoming blockalypse II (based on what you speculate is going to happen in bitcoin's next bullrun), that is referred to in my response that you cited here.
