Re: Jeff Garzik's Bitcoin Balance Revealed

Yes but, who really will hold that long if 5 is all they have?

Me. I have 8 BTC and feel confident that I'm going to be doing extremely well within 3-5 years, if I can just find a way to maintain my current income. Tough in this economy, many of my friends' companies are doing layoffs and I'm looking for work.

I thought you had much more Embarrassed

I did, once. The most I had at one time was 74 BTC, but times have been tough for me this past year, and I've had to fall back on savings to support myself. It didn't help that my mother lost her house to foreclosure about 18 months ago...

Dang bro...I'm kinda shocked.

You're shocked because you forgot that Beliathon is a persona, not a real person. Beliathon is an internet Lion, it's fun to step into that mask and roar truth and righteous indignation at you, scream the terrifying truth until I'm blue in the face.

But the reality of my life is best characterized by long suffering interrupted by brief moments of peace and sanity. I am plagued by lifelong anxiety and depression secondary to PTSD. Maybe one day the posts will stop suddenly, and I'll finally have peace.
One thing I can tell you about suffering, it's fertile soil for growing the clarity of mind necessary to discern truth from illusion/myth. "Our lives run different ways, through the pain we see things as they are..."

Ok but explain why you stopped working (to escape wage slavery?)... While you advocate others work 3 jobs.... Someone as passionate about bitcoin as you should have more..I think....
