Damit, I could really use a little leg up right now.
Reason being that I am only allowed to drive my 20yr old car for another 20 days now as it failed inspection and they demand that I replace a shock absorber. Would be fine with that, but Opel isn't producing/selling these shock absorbers any more. Couldn't get one in after market either, not even 2nd hand as it seems very special (somethingsomething sports-electronic-control bla). I liked that car a lot but it is what it is.
So I found a used Mercedes caravan that would really fit us well but I need to cash out some corn first and I have this tingling feeling in my guts that once I press the sell button price will shoot up to 140k in an instant. I have no problem shelling out a few sats for that but after stacking and hodling for about a decade I feel like a few days or weeks could really make a difference here. Money means nothing to me, though BTC does.
Talked this now over and over with the missus and we decided to just give a fuck for now - we will wait for a better price first (clearly over 130, ideally even more) - and if things go seriously south we don't care if we have to walk to the grocery store for a few weeks.
I mean who needs a friggin car, right? (oh wait, occasionally I really do)
If somebody would have told me two years ago that I will be too stingy to sell at 118k to buy a car, I would have laughed out loud at him.. Hodling really changes perspective, especially for those in FU mode. Cars come and go, but BTC that one sells never comes back..
