I agree with the first statement but not the second. Why would you ever consider trading back to fiat? I would rather see Bitcoin drop to 0 before trading back to fiat.

buying nice things ?

I'm pretty sure many are getting back quite some life changing amount and they will consider cashing out a part for ... see above

I prefer to buy things i need over things that are nice.
For now, i'm satisfied with my current life, so no real need to change it.
At least not this early Wink

that's exactly what I'm talking about: for some it's not early anymore and they are sitting on a 50x or 100x

and btw buying things you need is nice as well... isn't it?

I've been getting by on nothing for so long now, I don't feel like I need anything. Maybe a case of Indian River Ruby Red Florida grapefruit... but that's about it.

haven't sold a satoshi for about 8 years but not everyone is the same

I love fruits btw. I rarely eat vegetables..

I worked on a farm when I was young - there's nothing like Cortland apple fresh off the tree. After bringing in straw for 10 to 12 hours, I would cycle by the orchard on the way out and grab the biggest one I could find to eat on the way home

never tried Cortland. what do they taste like?
Apples are so divers in taste it's almost a miracle. Even when apples get old and mealy you can grate them and they taste delicious again (at least most of them)

Sorry, I had to take the youngest to a birthday party.

The flesh is bright white, slightly crispier than a Macintosh but sweeter while still being tart and very juicy. My grandma used tell me, "Those are cooking apples!" but I wasn't much of a cook back then (well, I cooked but not pies), it satisfied my hunger on the ride home and they are delicious (not the apple variety delicious). I can get them here still in season but generally, I get whatever Costco has - Honeycrisp, if I'm feeling wealthy, Ambrosia or Gala otherwise. I would get the Macs but my my wife and kids think they're too soft. I like fruits too and we usually have a good selection of fruits on hand - we always have apples, mandarins (or clementines), seedless grapes and bananas... fresh strawberries if they're available otherwise a bag of frozen sliced. For some reason, the Florida oranges and grapefruit have been very difficult to find these last few years. I did find some Florida Ruby Red grapefruit by accident a couple weeks ago - we had a visitors staying over so I prepared some at breakfast and I was told by one of them, "I don't really like grapefruit." and I said, "Well then, I suspect you haven't tried one of these; just take a spoon and see if you like it." and after they tried it, they couldn't believe how sweet it was, finished it and then accused me of putting sugar on it. I did not.

I'd better stop giving away my secrets or it'll be even harder to find Indian River Ruby Reds and Ethiopian Guji, Gigesa coffee beans. It's the same thing that happened to bitcoin when I told everyone how good it was.

thanks for the explanation. will certainly watch out for Cortland!

living in an area with warm climate is great for fruit lovers. it amazes me that it got so hard to find Florida oranges and grapefruits. wonder why..

you should definitely be careful giving away your fruit secrets... BTC on the other hand... there is enough for everyone, just not for the same price. and in the end everyone others will help pumping your bags. it seems inevidable anyways Wink
