    Where are the bitcoin lovers now?

    Once you have possession of it, you can send anywhere without permission instantly. Your funds can't be frozen or confiscated. Not a hard concept to grasp.

    Where are the bitcoin lovers now?

    Cheapest place to buy it is on Strike, just a small spread but no fees. Big KYC push from regulators so not going to escape that unless you do peer to peer or an ATM. Read through the beginning of this thread, almost exactly 4yrs ago when BTC was 3k.

    Where are the bitcoin lovers now?

    I made some btc buys yesterday in the 15's, first time in over a year. Not rushing into anything right now though but I have a lot dry powder ready to go. Think there will be a lot of opportunities in many asset classes, just being patient.

    Has anyone read the books so good they can't ignore you?

    The millionaire next door is one of my all time favorites. The one book that started all of the changes in how I looked at biz and assets is Rich Dad, Poor Dad

    Do you think the housing shortage is due to so many bachelor men not living with women?

    Like all major markets there are so many variables constantly changing and being affected as knock on effects of other variables, it is a fools errand trying to predict what/when something will happen. Especially when policies and governments can change market forces at a whim. It is really just...

    Do you think the housing shortage is due to so many bachelor men not living with women?

    Yes, it is all BS, basically only going to cause demand destruction in the short term. Rising rates are going to have a number of other effects besides borrowing/lending was the point I was making, especially with intuitional investors.

    Do you think the housing shortage is due to so many bachelor men not living with women?

    This may actually begin to change if interests rates stay high and continue to go up. Cap rates will be similar to interest yields, will have to see

    Nobody gets rich working 9-5 for someone else

    Yeah, I don't think you really know what you are talking about. You can be a great owner/operator and that will make you more likely do well over the long term. There are just a number of variables/risks you do not have control over when you are dealing with a lot of employees, products and...

    Youtuber has made $1.3m from ad revenue

    This is true about most investing influencer types. They make more money monetizing an audience as opposed the skill they are talking about. Have to be careful who you listen too, the people who are really good at their craft usually are not influencers too

    Nobody gets rich working 9-5 for someone else

    Just an observation from what I have seen. You can get rich from employment if you have discipline, consistency and aggressively invest. The biggest problem I see is as income increase lifestyle costs do as well and it is gradual. People are more likely to take on debt when they know they have...

    Crypto trading

    I'm sure that may be part of the reason as well as other variables. There are a lot of different dynamics at play and if regulation isn't done correctly, it could drive innovation and the capital it generates to other areas. Being a hub for this next tech wave will create a lot of tax revenue...

    Crypto trading

    Actually there are a lot of similarities to those companies, all of them are networks that have exponential growth and have followed Metcalfe's law. All these tech networks have or are in the process of disrupting the industry they are in. El salvador has also benefited in a number of ways, one...

    Crypto trading

    My personal belief in btc long term has not changed, the value is in being the most secure decentralized payment network ever created. The value is in the integrity, set rules and amount of participants. Everything could get rough for a while, there aren't really too many places to hide out...

    Dumped after 8 days

    You only want to keep a woman in your life who is trying very hard to keep you there, it will save you a lot of headaches in the long term. Especially if she ended it prior, she has to work very hard to get you back otherwise the same situation will result. In general it is not good to take a...

    I don't believe in the American dream or any other country's equivalent. How do I get a fire under my ass?

    You really got to change your attitude first, not even trying to be a smartass. You need to put in consistent effort over a long period of time, even if you do find your passion there will always be parts of it you will not like. I will tell you this though, you can semi pull off not having much...

    Are Male Friends Worth It?

    Developing a strong bond with a true friend over an extended period of time is invaluable. Most likely you will only develop a few relationships like this and most people will just be there for a season. Water seeks its own level, so try to be and act like the friend you would like to have...

    Trouble starting my own business.

    Yeah, I see them all over too. More of a way to get around with lower cost than a physical way to get in shape. See them on trails a lot too though.

    Trouble starting my own business.

    Just one piece of advice, if you do not have a lot of capital keep your monthly fixed expenses like rent as low as possible or just do online. It will give you a lot more flexibility to ride out any down times or financial issues. If I had to do it all over again, I would focus on a business...

    Trouble starting my own business.

    From people who I know who have built followings online for business, the biggest piece is being consistent especially for algorithms to come up in searches. Just decide for yourself you are going to make 2 videos a week for a year, I would bet if you are consistent a lot opportunities would...

    Trouble starting my own business.

    One other idea, create a course on how to rebuild E bikes themselves. Once it is created you can sell it continuously without additional cost besides the time upfront to make it. Sell it for 19.99, or whatever you think is appropriate. This would be a lot easier to scale since it isn't solely...
