Can't believe its been nearly 13 years since I started posting on the wall observer thread. Cheering for the downfall of the bear whale. Hearing the same FUD over and over again. Updating bitcoin core over and over again, checking the binaries, devising stronger and stronger security as my investment went from 4 figures, to 5 figures, to 6 figures, then 7.... and now finally hitting 8 figures. From a $5k investment. Crazy. While everyone in my real day to day life told me it was stupid, a scam, a total waste of money, destroying the planet, a right wing grift.

About to finally sell 1/3 of my stash. Will buy a mostly passive business returning $400k a year....for ever. Generation wealth for the kids i have had since that first investment. No going without food like I had to growing up. No getting bullied for wearing hand me down dunlop volleys. No eating carrots on Canteen days because Mum couldn't afford to spare any cash. 100% certain I would be better off just hodling the BTC, but can't pass up the chance to set my family up with cash flow for life. I'm sure lots of people here have had to make similar decisions .

And the only people that really understand are you reprobate fuckers....the ones that have been here with me the whole time....the ones that believed when the world called us crazy. The ones that made me laugh. So thanks everyone. I'll keep most of my stash, and I'll keep checking in here, reading the thread when ever I feel down, or like a need a laugh. Here's to all you fuckers. I love you all, and I love how far we have come.
