I just woke up with some morning wood 🪵 and I guess I picked it up 🆙 from BTC. . @nohomo

By the way Well scheduled for Oct 1

The funny thing is I am babysitting my 71 year old demented bro-in-law. Talk about real world shit. So he is in NY abour 80 miles away from us in NJ.

Due to his illness he is a security risk so I don’t have any access to BTC I have been watching charts since monday. I am thinking the work for him may have saved me from a panic sale. Would be nice if we pull some nice jumps from now to sat since I cant do any sale of coin until sat nite.

Maybe the work for him helps my holding go 2x say 75-80k over the weekend.

Congratulations on the woodie..

Even though I would like to ask if you consider that you are only around 7 years different in age than your bro-in-law?

Are you going to deteriorate that fast too? or is the bloodline different on your wife's side?

Of course, there are also lifestyle considerations, too.

I understand that there can be a pretty big difference between 71 year olds, but sometimes the deterioration does end up happening fast too...and sometimes the deterioration is on the inside, so it is more difficult to see - even though a lot of times, signs of deterioration happen on the outside too.

Around 8 years ago, I recall a homeless man who was about in his late 30s show up at a business complex that I was then frequenting - because I had a business located within such complex, and he had a lot of nice shit in his shopping cart, and he was cooking quite well for himself on his portable burner. He also looked pretty healthy and fit, too. I saw him around the same location for several months, and pretty soon the landlord got wind of his being set up there, and the police showed up several times, and even asked me for a statement against the guy, and I refused to give any statement.. I said I give few shits about the guy hanging out in the area of my business and seems to even potentially provide some protection to my business to have him around 24/7-ish. Even the landlord's agent requested my cooperation saying that the police were having trouble getting the guy to move to another location, and they would need to start to employ stronger tactics, including the landlord's agent thought that it was funny that the guy referred to himself as "the king." hahahhahaha... Anyhow, the police harassed the guy for about a month or more, and the guy kept returning, and pretty soon they took all of his nice stuff.. and then I saw the guy in a very deteriorated state - and another homeless guy told me that some other guys (potentially homeless, as well) had attacked him and beat him up...so the guy soon looked more than 2x his age and even carried himself in a very decrepit way, especially after he had gotten beaten up... it was a kind of sad and quick deterioration...

I am not even sure if my homeless guy example is a good one because many of us likely realize that deterioration can happen very rapidly for anyone, and surely the older that they get - including above 40 years old, the body might not tolerate certain kinds of abuse or removal of nutrients very well.... of course, each decade.. 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, seems to have higher potential for lack of recovery if any kind of bad thing might happen, and could happen to any of us.. including us with decently sized BTC holdings.

Merited you once then tried to add another and it wouldn't let me.

The system will not let you merit a post twice in a row within a few minutes, but if you wait like 5 minutes or more (or until the next block propagates), then you will be able to merit the same post twice.

My family = prostate cancer for men
breast cancer and or old age leukemia for women.

oldest male 93 very healthy til 92
oldest female 99 very healthy til 98

my wife's family a lot of people die under 80 and many end up demented.

hopefully my wife is lucky and lives past 80 and does not get demented.

I can frankly tell you I have never cared for a demented person it is really fucking hard to do. makes mining easy.

back to btc
kind of happy to see we got over 48k being stuck in NY has prevented a panic sell so I am grateful.
