I did not sell any btc to increase spending, but had to make some moves in a couple of unnamed alts that had obscene gains in 2021.
House remodeling is expensive.
My bitcoin stash keeps accumulating (slowly) due to mining rewards.
For those of you who like viewing some expensive RE (I have to say that the buildings themselves are amazing from the engineering perspective), check out this, although this is probably out of reach for almost everyone here...but in 10 years...who knows:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wehsz38P74gOk I watched that 28 minute video, and in some way I can now see why you might be hoping for BTC values to go up to $10 million-ish each - but at the same time you are not necessarily going to want to spend your 20 BTC. It looks like the bulk of those luxury condos can be purchased for anywhere between $5million and $30 million per unit, so you may well not need to be a billionaire to afford one.... though like anything, it would likely not be good to put too much of your wealth into any one asset - and yeah, maybe you need to have at least 2x to 5x more wealth than the cost of any of those units to be able to reasonably be able to afford one. Perhaps?
Who knows also if they are going to hold their value? Some of us are considering that $1million per BTC would be stretch for this cycle, but it would not be so much of a stretch for the next cycle (in the event it does not happen this cycle.. so that would also make $10million per coin reachable in the next cycle or maybe 2-3 cycles later if BTC slopes off quite a bit - and for sure few of us are really considering that 50x to 100x returns per cycle will continue to be reasonable, but those kinds of returns are still not out of the question.. so then another question might be whether something like a luxury condo in New York would hold its value and surely not likely to appreciate as much as BTC.. at least in theory that does not make a lot of sense.
On a little bit of a side note, I would be a bit uncomfortable living in a high rise like that, so it would take some getting used to if I were to want to consider either investing or living in something like that than myself. I would imagine that a condo like that would be way cheaper to maintain than a Yacht or a leer jet.. but why not both? Once you get to a certain level, whether that would be getting to $200 million with your 20 coins or some other number that feels sufficiently cushioned enough in fuck you status.. and starting to make my $2 million entry-level fuck you status as a kind of fuck you status for ants.. even though I am still tentatively thinking that $2 million remains a decently good entry-level working number - at least for normies.
