Of course, i recall your late 2018, since I went through something similar myself in regards to my having to sell some cornz towards the low of that late 2018 dippening, and then I was ONLY able to recover less than half of what I had sold.

My own situation was due to my budgeting for a construction project that I expected the bills to come due in late 2018 but also to be spread out into 2019, so throughout 2018, $6k was tested as support like 6 times before it finally broke down, and when it broke down, I found out that my bills were coming in earlier than expected and even higher than expected, which  I probably already had around 1/2 the cash that I needed, but I had to sell some cornz to cover the other half, and for me that was then around 4% of my then stash.. and yeah, maybe I bought around half of what I had sold back.  It is not a really BIG deal since they were 4x or more in profits, yet the sale was at a time that was not of my own complete choosing, and part of the problem was my presumption that the BTC price would not meaningfully drop below $6k, which it ended up doing.

Regarding the Trust, it seems a bit strange to pass money onto some likely undeserved folks rather than figuring out ways to spend it yourself, but sure, you already did (and decided) what you were going to do.  You likely could be living quite wll with your stash even following a sustainable withdrawal strategy, and also able to earn quite a large income off of your holdings, without really depleting it in terms of the ongoing appreciating dollar value.

Let's say that right now you were to have 46 BTC (yes I know this is hypothetical, but did you see what I did there?), then your spot price value would be about $5.3 million, yet more importantly, your 200-WMA value would be a bit over $2.4 million, which largely means that you could perpetually draw $240k per year income from your stash, which means that you could easily update your car or not.  You would not have to worry about money with that quantity of BTC.  You could live of yourself a cost of living adjustment of 7% per year, and since $240k withdrawal rate is perpetually sustainable you could pass on that withdrawal rate to yur decedents  (heirs).


Your story is all fine and dandy as it relates to bitcoin, yet your wanting to include ethereum and solana into the conversation puts your mindset into question.  Do you know the difference?  Do you know that you are in a bitcoin thread?


ah ha?

You seem to be getting into the interesting question regarding whether bitcoin happened to have been invented or discovered.

What if I tell you that such greatly anticipated interest rate cut already happened on Thursday.

Does the existence of those facts change your assessment in any way?
