I have no desire to intake alcohol any time soon. The longer I stay dry, the better. If Rick has a bad day at the office and wants to go out for a drink, maybe I'll nurse one single beer so he's not drinking alone, but we'll see how that plays out. Also, spiking my triglyceride levels over the bad cholesterol limit was the final nail in the coffin to incentivize me to dry out and try to undo some damage.
I haven't consumed a drop of alcohol for five or more years and doubt I'll bother again. It wasn't for health reasons, I just got bored and disgusted by the behaviour of drunk people. Far too many people are fucking pitiful when on it. They have their fun getting drunk. I have my fun sneering at them and when they pass out I fart in their mouth and slap them until their cheeks rupture. Everyone wins. Just making no sense their.... I hate it when people are drunk and act wrong, not many are truely Fun when wasted, only a handfull. But wtf man, what about dinner and just 2-3 wines for the taste, that ain’t making people acting weird and sh*t. If thats your main raeson to never drink thats pity if its health and so on ok, but see the difference between just tipsy or Maybe even not ..... And a wasted F*** acting wrong! Sometimes a drink has to be appreciated IMO, i’m not often very drunk and when i am i’m luckely OK “i think” Have a special occasion this evening and Will be raising a glass but just 1-2 max so nothing crazy ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Off topic, but...
Word around the campfire has it that Rosewater appears to be suffering from protracted post acute benzodiazepine withdrawal. It's all quite heady and complicated. Lots of ins. Lots of outs. Akathisia, some hallucinations. GABA receptor down-regulation. This on top of tardive dysphoria and that wheat thing, to the best of my knowledge. At any rate, doctors orders. The line between iatrogenic physical dependence and full blown pill sick smack-houndery is a bit unclear. Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.
Now where's my hat?
Live your life, do your work, then take your hat. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FlO8AldR.png&t=663&c=Hk3n2HkIBF4C2w) avatar-sized ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FO8wwsJ2.png&t=663&c=JX6Ctd5xyfvRQw) Very nice as original HAT of.... gonna collect it when on my computer ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I have zero faith in cryopreservation.
I have zero faith in "uploading consciousness".
I have zero faith in faith these days. I just have faith in this WO ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) As in my drinking behavior. Not the least as in BTC.

Also, today marks two weeks of being officially dry. I'm genuinely beginning to enjoy the clarity. feelsgoodman.
congrats man! i dont drink (maybe one or two on special occasions, so maybe 5 drinks a year). simply because i dont like the buzz drinking gives or id be an alky for sure. but been addicted to other stuff. one substance to the point of almost losing everything. nasty time but a good life lesson on humility and what lack of willpower can do if you let it. It seems different people have different tolerance levels to alcohol, and some do just fine to drink regularly all their life. For me, something changed from my younger years to my older years. When I was young, I could drink regularly and be a "happy drunk", a buzz would lift my mood and spirit. Would routinely go to "happy hour" after work with friends and colleagues. It was all in good fun. Then something changed mid-life; a few bad things happened to me, and then I spent a year drowning my sorrows in alcohol. But I noticed that drinking actually had the opposite effect on me than it did when I was younger. It just made me feel more depressed and down. I lost motivation to do things I always loved doing, and I also started to worry about my health and developing alcoholism. So after that really bad year, I stopped drinking cold turkey for seven months straight. My depression went away completely, mood improved, health improved, and mental clarity got much better. Lost weight. Now I only drink on the rare occasion about once a month, maybe one beer or glass of wine and I'm done with it. It's not a forced thing either, I just don't think about it that much any more. Yeah its always good when someone feels for himself when to take action, when it have to come from people near to you or something then your already waaaay of.... for myself i'm still "when drunk" a happy or enjoyable drunk guy, not the agressive type or not the complaining type etc I think i manage alcohol real well in my life and with reading here I see some guys had some tough experiences with alcohol but manage to take care of their businesses so only to cheer those actions.... That said I will have to raise a glass of alcohol this evening, as i'm going to my favorite Japanese resto with a group of poker players to discuss our next time period, as game, as where and when, with who etc Looking forward for this evening and hope the next session will start very early so i can use my poker HAT again a few times ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Fucking IRS.
Got our final numbers from the accountant, and this is the first time, in a long time, that my bill way higher than Ricks, owing to setting up my early retirement fund by selling off the BTC I did during the dying gasps of the bulls being devoured by the bears in late 2017/early 2018.
Rick suggested he would contribute $x towards my obligations, in exchange for $y Bitcorns. Think I'm going to take him up on the offer to preserve part of my cash stash, and cover my Q1 estimated taxes instead with the leftover liquidity, and put the rest back into a fund, somewhere.
At least this way, Bitcorn stays in the family, and would help towards his retirement plans if we have a couple more months of green dildos.
Also, today marks two weeks of being officially dry. I'm genuinely beginning to enjoy the clarity. feelsgoodman.
- yes good, keep the Corn in the fam. and work stuff out.... perfect. -I do cheer for you to be dry for over 2 weeks, though you should be able to manage the drinking to be occasionally, over dinner evenings or @a Bday etc just skip the 5,6,7 beers a early morning everyday and you should be fine. Just don't forget to give yourself something from day to day as a reward ( like sometimes a fine wine over dinner, or a glass of bubbles to celebrate some dildo's etc)

bullish feeling for next hours/weekend
Hopefully, I’m feeling really positive about the recent price action. I think anybody predicting that the bottom isn’t in yet is an idiot. There’s so much positivity around at the moment, I see nothing but bullish action for the forseeable future. Thats true, but with BTC its always something special, during the bearmarket so much positive stuff and still it kept on dumping their.... the news becomes more and more irrelevant for the price action, still I enjoy positive stuff much more as negative I like to see the user count keeps increasing over time, that Will be the most important thing of all.... More and more people Will get it and understand it and finally buy it, of-course there or those where it takes more time as with others, so consider us to be lucky ones ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Maybe you can have 2 or 3 seastead apart from the set of owners, just to rent. On a platform like airbnb, it may be another form of profitable, probably always have reservations. Would be very good, bit of a try out of the seasteading life, I think the idea is awesome... Also very possible this could be attractive for people, but it will take timebas many of the good idea's of today. Keep us updated please and enjoy your adventure/life work... Cheers

Spurs-City surprised me the most last evening.
This evening I go for
Ajax-Juve 0-3
ManU-Barca 2-1 as a surprise (I don't know why but I think ManU will not be the team for Barca)

Meantime it looks like we're snug in the 5200-5300 range. Not a bad improvement from the 2800-3000 range a few weeks ago.
Progress. But does it mean BC is worth more, or fiat is simply worth less?
it wasn't 2.8K don't call it upon us ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) let us be done with that 3K range as well, hopefully, but then again time will tell ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

House Lannister falls because they can only finance their military by borrowing from the Iron Bank of Braavos, who join forces with Daenerys to take them down over unpaid debts. The season ends with this epilogue: "Fiat would ensure indefinite Lannister rule. Who wants that?" https://twitter.com/aridavidpaul/status/1115700303754551296?s=21![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
