I couldn't quite figure out what was going on there, whether it was quasi ironic or not. You'd think someone who'd been around that long would be unphased by the same thing panning out again. Then again who am I to guess anyone else's triggers?
I'm totally reading between the lines here, I have no actual knowledge, totally guessing; My impression is that he over invested, FOMOing in with assets necessary for life support, then held through the peak. I don't know if his losses were purely of unrealized gains or of the actual sort, but regardless it hit him pretty hard as he had to sell to make RL commitments. About this time he also started experiencing health problems. I am totally speculating here, but would not be at all surprised if these were exacerbated by his level of stress and worry over the above. It is my earnest hope that he was able to reclaim at least part of his position near the lows, but if that were so one would think that we would have seen him by now... I miss him a lot Didn’t he momentarily pop up about 6 months ago? |

A very discreet car to use it daily and that transmits good feeling is the Audi RS4. (Avant, better for me)
The B4 RS4 2.7T Avant was a beast for the day. I never got into the V8 version. Not even sure what is under the hood now? |

The new Supra sucks
It hasn’t even been released yet. Can we really say that? How about the Alpine? |

Oh yeah I had to have a cluch specially made for it. Then it wheel spinned when you changed gears. Horrific in traffic. lol
After going through an alarming number of gearboxes and diffs, I have started using only a lightly modified clutch. I do miss watching the valet repeatedly stall the car. |

I had a 190 E too,
I'm more interested in a Japanese Turbo Nutters Barge these days.
Jap FTW!
Any particular flavor? Had 3 MR2's the 3rd one a MK3 with added turbo and intercooler oil cooler standalone ECU overbore sleved racebuilt engine forged everything etc. and the last was a Nissan 300zx Twin turbo, FAF! *edit* and if you meant the Merc, it was the racey one. Best ever looking Merc in my opinion Haha when I was a kid my father also had a 300zx-twin turbo.... but he always have had the crazy cars in my youth but more Porsche turbo etc kind of things.... I wasn't not the car racer as I was a MOTO-racer I still have a few pic from earlier years as I stopped recently (4years back or something) After that I have owned my fair share of fast cars as well  You can’t just say that and not provide details... |

My parents had a 300ZX Z32 as well, awesome cars, horrible to work on under the hood however. I think their history of Z ownership (from the 240 all the way to 350) inspired my love of Jap cars too and lead to me owning an R33 GTR.
There's something about mid 90's to mid 00's Jap cars that hold a special place in my heart
I had a R32 GTR. Without a shadow of a doubt the most hateful vehicle I have ever possessed. Everything went wrong, it handled and braked like shit. The engine was incredible so some day I will place one in a Morris Minor and enjoy the sole bright spot that car had to offer. Ideally I'd like to buy back that specific car so I can slowly cut it to pieces with tin snips but I think it got scrapped which made me smirk. Sorry you had that experience! However the 32's are getting long in the tooth now and were always underbraked apart from the VSPEC2's that came with the Brembo brakes standard. But yes, the RB26 is a beautiful engine, second only to the 2JZ in my book. Hopefully if BTC keeps doing well I'll end up owning a 32 and 34 as well. Don't have as much love for the 35... I appreciate it but it's way more reliant on electronics than I like; but bloody fast! I test drove an R33 GTR. Nice car but the dealer was dodgy. Odometer misaligned... Do you find yourself attracting young men at the gas station instead of young ladies ? |

So umm I just hit my personal ATH as measured in fiat terms. Just passed the 2017 peak.
Feels good man
Wow! You fucking doubled your BTC during the bear market? Hat off Sir! Not quite. I increased my BTC by about 62% by trading the bear market and then bought another 15% near the bottom with fresh fiat. Up a little bit today by longing the last dip with a dollar cost average of $8,000ish. Depreciation of the local currency against US$ over the past year has done the rest of the doubling effect. I am genuinely using Bitcoin as a store of value as the local peso loses its shit.... Strategy from here is simple. Constantly long the dips for the next two years while keeping plenty of collateral in case of a flash crash. I was a late starter so have a lot of ground to make up. |

Best ever looking Merc in my opinion Nice. I like the look of the Mitsubishi GTO even if they are totally unloved by the public. The MR2 sounds nuts. A real sleeper. Did you ever track it? I bet it could hold its own against an Exige or Clubman which is saying something. Watched too much the fast and the furious?  Im eying an audi sq5 right now, also pretty nice as a family car Yeah the SQ5 is impressive. Really ought to carry an RS badge for the motor. Twin turbo V6. |

to tie it all up, there are scurrilous rumours about my ancestor Alexander Selkirk - that he kept himself from loneliness by engaging with the resident goats' behinds.
this is false
You could always take a DNA test to prove the doubters wrong |

9.3k and we are still 1 year and 3 months away from the bullrun  My only minor concern if we go up too much, too fast is a massive dump. I’d like the usual cycle to play out as it is supposed to, slowly climbing before a parabolic rise. Aimed at HM - Is the fractal still likely to be followed even if we go up rapidly now, as in are we likely to hit 6 figures in 2021 even if we go up rapidly now/early? It’s just a guide. And the guide is telling us right now we are high, hot and fast. But the numbers are not unreasonable - we are still below our target price for the halvening. So no, I don’t think the fractal has been broken at a macro level. It is reasonable to expect some pullback in July and August. But I sure as hell would not short this market or try to sell local tops.  |

Why are the WO polls always so pessimistic?
Why is Bitcoin always so optimistic? |

$40 away from yearly high. Things could get messy if we break $9100.
$9,153 <======= isn't this yearly high now? Indeed. It was $9056 when I posted. |
