One of the risks of being your own bank... and then yeah, the more people know about bitcoin, they can kidnap almost anyone and then get them to send bitcoin, even if the person does not have bitcoin, they might be inspired to get bitcoin if they are being threatened with the death of a loved one.


Old news.


That's why "we" cannot have nice things.


It does help to have some plausible deniability if others are wearing such paraphernalia. 

"I was just wearing such t-shirt, hat and underwear to be cool like dose dee udder peeps."


I knew that there was something a wee bit imprecise about the retirement projections, but I just could not put a finger on it.


trolling dee dude in his HODL sleep.

What did dee dude do to you?

Show me where he touched you?

 


A little retarded to not know where a guy stands in regards to due process rights.  We should all be worried if alleged "criminals" can just be wisked away and taken to other countries without notice and/or a right to a hearing.

As of today, I consider 17.166 BTC to be the threshold starting point today for earning an annual income of $80k in perpetuity, yet it may well take a bit of decently good BTC portfolio management to execute such a sustainable withdrawal without screwing it up... so then yeah, younger people might not need very much income until they have to support themselves, so it seems a bit unrealistic to be considering those who are less than 18 years old as retiring (and/or supporting themselves) prior to age of majority 18 years or whatever that might be depending on location/jurisdiction.


You sound a bit lost to be asking such a question.  Bitcoin is about 1,000x better than gold, even though it could take 50-200 years to play out.  Bitcoin is currently priced a little less than 1/10 of gold (in terms of market cap).

Bitcoin has been eating gold's lunch for the past 13 plus years (I like to start bitcoin's price from the beginning of 2012.  It was $5 at that time). 

Bitcoin will continue to eat gold's lunch in the coming years, even if in the past 6 months or so, gold has been having a bit of a renaissance in its price-performance. 


You are getting your Hals and your Lazlos mixed up.

Edit:  I see Merit.s set the record straight.


You have only been registered on the forum for slightly more than a year cxtreenal.. so I am not sure what you are talking about holding.  You think that you have enough coins.

Many folks in these here parts spent a good cycle or more accumulating bitcoin before starting to rest on their laurels.

Of course front loading is possible, yet I have a hard time imagining any guys being able to meaningfully accumulate enough or more than enough of a BTC stash in less than a whole cycle without significant front loading of their stash.  So you seem to be in a wrong mindset if you think that you have enough BTC cxtreenal. 

But hey.  You know your own stash size and situation way better than this here cat who ONLY had been able to glance at your forum registration date.. and to attempt to surmise from that kind of a data point..


I'm going to just say that I think that your lack of flexibility is not healthy sometimes... .even though sure, I already know it seems to be your personality.. but still... the 4-year fractals are not guaranteed, even though they have been playing out pretty well, so far, in bitcoin's history.


Gold is not necessary... except maybe if you cannot help yourself and/or you are already used to fucking around with that old shiny rock, then less than 10% of the size of the stash of your bitcoin might be o.k. to keep in gold, and perhaps having gold as less than 5% of your BTC stash would even be better.  I still think zero gold is o.k. as long as you have a bitcoin strategy.. .and yeah, even  Armageddon scenarios, there could maybe be some uses for gold.. perhaps ? perhaps?  I doubt it but you perhaps?
