Now let’s see if this rule is too harsh. As the price of Bitcoin gets higher and higher, it is getting harder and harder to reach this level.
I think the price should be lowered to increase the sense of participation of newcomers
The price should be equal to the price of 50 bitcoins in 2013.

I'm really not seeing the case for bitcoin being the crypto and all other alts are shitcoins here. Bitcoin is a great store of value, but will never be 'A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System', not with network fees and block times anyway.
All the boomer electronic cash coins do that better, like litecoin or bch even if the latter is centralized and has fundamental security issues. Even if bitcoin has the edge with decentralization, how will bitcoin scale to match speed and fees without using something centralized like the lightning network and becoming a bank pawn like cripple schizo?
Then there's usecase, you can't really passively earn bitcoin unless you buy some ewaste asics, lend it on a centralized platform, or wrap it and utilize it on DeFi platforms. You kinda just buy it, send it to your wallet, and it sits there like a hunk of metal. Wanna buy an ice cream? Whoops, it already melted by the time the transaction is done. Wanna pay your employees? Oh damn, the transactions canceled because I sent too many. Case in point, bitcoin doesn't have smart contracts either, unless you consider bitcoin schizo version the bitcoin.
So bitcoin doesn't have unique usecases like other alts, ETH for usable platform for smart contracts, all the storage coins equivalent to dropbox, onedrive etc, blockchains governments and corporations run on like fantom, oracles linking the blockchain to governments and the world, the list goes on.
How will it compete with CBDCs when they are so much more private and easy to use, POS cash coins when they have no environmental impact, even monero when it offers true privacy with everything else good about bitcoin?
Personally, I see bitcoin already something like digital gold, with other digital cash coins as currencies, and with everything else that isn't centralized shit or vaporwave the new products and massive of blockchain. So bitcoin maxis, how does bitcoin fix all this when it's simply a medium of investment?

I feel like this ever since I finally got into the role I spent four years working towards. I just want to stay home and be left alone. Every day I push myself to go do my job and it’s demands. I often find myself daydreaming about not having to work or worry about making money. To just be able to not work would be amazing. I think I’m mostly just really worn out from four intense years of study and work and now my mind and body want a rest. I’m really looking forward to a two week staycation over Christmas. Hopefully that eases my constant day dreaming about not working.

Yes. I consider it a skill. If you keep evaluating what you need vs what you don’t, you can save that money for the important things.

I once read that if a exact doppelganger of your self walked by you in public, you wouldn't notice. Because in our minds we look totally different than what we actually look like ....but in a good way. I guess we are all slightly more attractive than we actually believe we are to other people, because we as individuals look at our selves a lot in mirrors. And we focus a lot on our "imperfections" things we or you are self conscious about, but other people dont notice said imperfections as much as we do.

So yeah, you might be ugly asf like ya boy here, but you ain't as ugly as you think, bitches.

It's essential to have 'me time' in a relationship, not having so risks co-dependency (or symptoms thereof). What OP is describing seems very healthy to me, as does your comment (:

On a second interview the general manager brought me into the conference room with his 8 managers present. At first I thought it was a meet and greet but no, they grilled me for an hour and a half. Didn’t appreciate that along with a couple other things and politely withdrew from being considered.

Couple months later I’m playing in a ball tournament and come across one of the managers. I mentioned how weird that interview was. He says ‘Weird for you? Ha! I found out then and there you were being interviewed for my job!’.

Yep, dodged a bullet there.

God has made you a developer of the universe, your task is to create small patches/bug fixes to improve humans. What do you do?

I drove a route once every month for 5 yrs. It’s amazing how attached you get to your people. I had to stop when I made a job change but still think of those lovely ppl often, and truly admire what YOU are doing to make sure ppl who need it get food.

I'm not in quarantine, but I broke my foot so I'll call it the same thing since I'm stuck at home for 4 months (only 2 more months to go!)

I decided to use this as an opportunity to learn and grow, just like you

-Read 20 books (16 since the start of January - including taking notes) on a variety of topics - finance, investing, self-help, career development, science, philosophy etc, as well listened to many podcasts and productive YouTube videos

-Studied toward a new certification for my line of work (and set to receive a pay bump by the time I return)

-Created a budget using YNAB (You Need A Budget) and organised my finances. I now have a financial plan and looked into retirement planning as well.

-Made my initial move into investing in ETFs, and am doing some paper trading now on a few stocks I have my eye on

-Read and understood all I need to know about my various insurance policies, super, medicare and other important things I just had a vague idea about previously

-De-cluttered my phone, laptop, home office and home

-Begun learning Spanish and Russian on the DuoLingo app

-Bought a guitar and began learning how to play it from JustinGuitar

-Set up home automation - sensors, cameras, garage, wall plugs etc (so convenient not having to get up with a broken foot!)

-Begun tracking my mood and habits in the Mood Tracker app

Switched from doing Tactical Barbell in my training to doing a new bro-split bodybuilding protocol just for fun
-
-I've also bought a lockpicking set and am waiting for that to arrive so I can learn how to pick locks

And then I've continued my previous practices:

-Cold showers

-Meditation

-Practicing Mindfulness and Gratitude

-Journalling

-Study and implement Stoicism and Buddhist practices into my everyday life

Then on top of all this I still fucked around and did some lazy shit like

-Video games

-Binge watched Attack on Titan, the whole MCU line-up, Friends, Brooklyn 99 and other content from AnimeLab, Netflix, Disney Plus etc

-Reddit

-And other mindless stuff because I think it's important to have that too (in moderation)

I'm a -8.25 and at almost 40 years old, I've only now hit the place where I can pay for my glasses in one payment. I'm even more grateful that my parents could afford to pay for my glasses as a kid. I don't think I got plastic lenses until I was in high school. Glass all the way.

A lot flipped houses. Be careful when looking at recently remodeled houses. Most of these are cheap flips with nothing more than some new paint, flooring and appliances. It becomes very apparent when you actually view the house in person and the doors don’t close right, the windows are old, and everything just feels cheap

I am picturing your cameras on top of a long, thin electrical conduit, and everybody else must gingerly build the rest of stadium around it so as not to disrupt your contract.

The only reliable solution is dieting. But what sort of diet? There are the extremists who believe in a dramatic, thorough-going attack on their waistline by eating nothing. There is another theory that if you eat things like hard boiled eggs,apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard to digest, that the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food. For most of us these methods are too extreme or too eccentric. The simplest system is just to cut down on the carbohydrates or, if possible, to cut them right out.

A good question. Being 30+ , I do find it more difficult to make friends these days. Covid doesn't help the situation.

But it comes down to finding people with similar interests or a shared activity. And just putting yourself out there a bit. Some times you might fall flat on your face. But most of the time you start a conversation with someone and go from there.

One of those perfume cards. Written on the back is "Whinge whinge fucking cunt whinge"

Found it on the side of the road circa 2004. Still have it somewhere

Although I have no children now, I can imagine that you want to give your children the best
