BTC could fairly conservatively facilitate 6-10% per year or perhaps even more, as long as you are valuing your stash based on the bottom price (or the 200-WMA) rather than attempting to value your BTC based on top (or spot) prices that tend to be all over the place... even though when you sell, you will of course be selling based on then BTC spot prices.

From my fuck you status chart, you can see that the BTC's 200-WMA (or the bottom) has gone up by more than 20% per year, and there is no reason to believe that it won't continue to go up more than 20% per year, especially if averaged out, and also you can see with my fuck you status chart that the worst period for the 200-WMA rate of increase was between mid 2022 until late 2023 (which was 20% annually for that period).  So in theory, if you are measuring your BTC's value from the bottom price, then you could expect to withdraw based on that even up to 20% and it would still continue to sustain itself in terms of dollar values.. .and to be safe, you could withdraw at a lower rate such as 6% to 10% and still have a cushion, and since the 200-WMA is a lagging indicator, you can watch it to see if it is starting to get to lower values, otherwise you should be able to sustainably withdraw at way higher rates than you would have had been able to do under traditional investments.  You can see more of my sustainable withdraw discussions in my sustainable withdrawal thread, and some of the linked tools and threads.

Of course, with my sustainable withdrawal tool ^{(powered by bitmover)}, you can back test a variety of theories and timelines to see for yourself that you could have had engaged in pretty high withdrawal rates (even maximizing out the tool at 30%), and BTC still has held its dollar value.. especially over longer periods of time.   I recently discussed an example that goes back to June 1, 2019 in this post.

IMO, irresponsible attitude and the kind of negligence shown here are the major reasons many cricketing boards keep failing to sustain their financial system.

You got a home series and both teams are playing good cricket, it's poised well with a scoreline of 1-1. You have to make a spectacle out of it, instead, they are playing in front of empty stands. It tells you more about how many cricket boards are only interested in freeloading.

Ireland once again showed everyone how brittle their batting lineup is, and how inconsistent their batsmen are. Actually they got a good start, as Andy Balbirnie and Paul Stirling got themselves to 49/0 after 5 overs. But once Nangeyalia Kharote bowled Stirling, the batting collapsed as usual. Lorcan Tucker made 10 runs, and apart from Delany's blitzkrieg down the order, that was the only doble digit score apart from top order. Once again the Afghan bowlers excelled, especially Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Nangeyalia Kharote.

How come it became a Day match, I thought they had their timing set for the series decider.

Looks like a bad scheduling to me. You got your wish of no dead rubber match but it's a working day and that too in the morning. Who will fill the stand and many people not even watch live on telly. This should've been fixed to the weekend, that's how you generate some sort of revenue.

DC's curse continues while RCB seems all set to break their curse at last. I expected DC to score 190-200 runs initially, but they got screwed royally by the spinners. Sophie triggered the collapse through 3 wickets in a single over.

Shreyanka was amazing throughout this tournament and in this match too. Crazy roller-coaster basically!

Well, I somewhat randomly picked a goal that might be a goal of someone in the west, but if you think that the goal is too high, then you can reduce the goal to your level.  Perhaps $500 per month or $1k per month, and if the goal was $500 per month, then just reduce (multiply) everything that I already said by 1/10th. ... which means that either 0.5 BTC by mid 2034 or 0.25 BTC by mid 2039 would be sufficient to accomplish the goal of $500 per month, and if you wanted an extra cushion of $1k per month, then you would have to double the target amount.

Of course.  Bitcoin is for everyone or anyone who chooses to get involved in it, and anyone who gets involved investing in bitcoin within a way that is not overdoing it, then is likely going to have some benefits from such investments into bitcoin.

So yeah, if the price corrects, he is able to buy more bitcoin and if the price goes up too rapidly then he may well not be able to get as many BTC as he thought that he would be able to get.  If he is on target and overly accumulating bitcoin, then maybe that is not a bad problem to have, or maybe if he is under accumulating, he might have to change either his target accumulation level or maybe change his timeline until such a point that both the timeline and the amount of BTC accumulated overlap... and of course, he will likely monitoring these matters along the way, and I personally like to use the 200-WMA in terms of the valuation of the BTC holdings in order to give greater protections to anyone who would not be pulling the fuck you lever too soon (prior to being actually in a good financial and/or psychological place with his BTC holdings relative to his expectations for how much income he is going to be drawing from such BTC holdings.).

In recent times, I have also been coming toward thinking that a guy might not need to have as much of a bitcoin savings as he would have to have in traditional investments since with a bitcoin investment, he likely would be able to employ a higher withdrawal rate of 6-10% in bitcoin as compared with 4% in traditional investments.

I agree. I expected the Lankans to come back strong in the second ODI and that is exactly what happened. I bet on Bangladesh to win the final ODI since they seem to have the momentum on their side.

Bangladesh need to make sure that they don't collapse while the Lankans will probably depend on Madushanka and Hasaranga to trigger a collapse.

What a surreal fall! DC is done and dusted at mere 113 runs, at one stage I expected double of that as target for RCB.

Seeing fall like this I wouldn't expect an easy win for RCB either (if it can happen to DC, it can happen to them also) but definitely RCB has upper hand here to win the trophy.

We mostly see in cricket people often try to guess who will win based on how well teams are playing and how good players are. But best thing about cricket is that you can never be sure what will happen. For example in Ireland vs Afghanistan 1st T20 match everyone thought Afghanistan would win because they usually do well in T20 games. However Ireland played really well that day and surprised everyone by winning. We should give credit to Ireland bowlers for stopping Afghanistan batters. By the way match was really exciting.

To be fair to Shoriful, it wasn't his mistake. He didn't see the Wellalage and was only watching the ball. Both parties were innocent and not guilty but the young Lankan had to spit it out anyway because he could've been run out and probably injured.  

And it's 1-1 now, no relevance to this series because of the T-20 WC but at least it's alive and the setup is building up nicely for the next 3 matches. I hope it is not a win the toss and win the match scenario for the rest of the series because of dew.

I would suggest that how many BTC is not completely subjective  - even though it is based on the setting of subjective goals... So if someone might tell you what his goals are, then you would likely be able to determine a quantity of BTC that would likely satisfy the goal.

So for example, if a guy tells you that in 10 years, he would like to be able to have a monthly income of $5k without having to do any work - beyond just keeping track of his various accounts...   Then at that point you have some ideas of an approximate number of coins that the guy might need to work towards getting, and I would say that if he works towards getting close to 5 BTC for the middle of 2034, then that would likely be more than enough to meet his goals... and perhaps even 3-4 BTC might be enough... yet we cannot really know, so then he should work towards getting to 5 BTC within the next 10 years.. which may or may not be doable for all people, and if it is not doable.

Then if he changes his goal to the same kind of idea of cashflow, but with a back up target for 15 years, then I would suggest that by mid-2039, then he is likely ONLY going to need around 2.5 BTC by mid-2039 in order to reach that same objective of having a monthly income of right around $5k.. so then he has something that he believes that he might be able to reach, and if he speculates that inflation might eat away the targets, then surely maybe he could try to shoot for more BTC and to have some cushion in his goals, and so we can largely ONLY attempt to give some directional guidelines that might need to be adjusted with the passage of time...yet I would still suggest that aggressive accumulation of bitcoin should be part of the formula, and the details can be tweaked at various points along the way.

I haven't had a chance to work out for a long time, thanks to this thread I'm back. The bull run in the market feels good too. I continue to do 100 push-ups, not every day, but every other day and let the muscles regenerate.
Don't just focus on upper body and skip leg day btw, you know the biggest muscles of the body are in your legs.

Haha after 92 overs, finally some spicy stuff. Please need more of this drama and ffs manufacture some fight. After all, match is on the line lol

For context, there was a potential collapse (between bowler Shoriful Islam and striker Wellalage) but sadly it was a poorly written script so no controversial runout. At least a few words were exchanged. 

Afghanistan vs Ireland

First T20 match between Afghanistan and Ireland today Afghanistan and Ireland played ODI series and Test series earlier. In the ODI series Afghanistan defeated Ireland to win the series but in the Test series, Ireland defeated Afghanistan to win the series. The T20 series between these two teams is starting from today. Afghanistan has a majority of players who have played in various T20 franchise leagues which gives them a lot of experience. However, one batsman in the Ireland team who has been performing quite well recently is Harry Tector. Maybe today the fight between these two teams will be equal.

After Sri Lanka lost three batsmen for 43 runs I thought Bangladesh team will win today's match too. But with Pathum Nissanka and Asalanka's excellent batting, the match is now completely under Sri Lanka's control.

At the end of 41 overs, Sri Lanka collected 251 runs with the loss of 5 wickets. Sri Lanka needs to collect only 36 runs from 54 balls to win. It is not a very difficult task. If the batsmen can stay at the crease, Sri Lanka will easily win today's match. Pathum Nissanka returned to the dressing room with 114 runs and Asalanka had 91 runs. Besides, no other Sri Lankan batsman can bat so well. These two batsmen changed the entire scenario of the match today.

We haven't seen better bowling from Taijul today. Taijul gave 32 runs in 4 overs, but could not take a single wicket. If Taijul could bowl well, maybe Bangladesh would have been able to win today's match. Taskin and Shariful are bowling very well today.

For one, this thread is about bitcoin and not shitcoins, and secondly, DCA does not work with shitcoins because they are not long term investments that have any fundamental and/or long term value.

DCA tends to apply quite well for bitcoin and/or long term investments bacuase it allows you to build your position over many years 4-10 years or longer.

Of course, if you are still in your accumulation stage, you can supplement your accumulation with buying on dips and also lump sum investing, and so only you can figure out which accumulation methods to apply and when you might consider yourself to no longer be in accumulation stage... and yeah, a lot of newbies might have chances to build their investment into bitcoin over 4-10 years or longer, and they likely end up selling too much too soon and then likely putting themselves into a worse place than if they had just focused on accumulating through the varying buying techniques rather than selling, trading and/or gambling with their investment.. in such a great and powerful (and option providing) asset, such as bitcoin.

In line with seeing a good result physically, I would suggest you should walk or jog at least one or two kilometers per day as a cardio exercise to increase your stamina so you can do more push ups and reps in the next coming days. I don't know if you're tight with schedules, but once you've done it straight for 1 week, you'll surely get used to it. But hey, you need to increase the number of push ups everyday so your body get used to it and will increase your arm strength and capacity to do more reps.
It will be very nice to see a good results with your body as well as seeing good results in your bitcoin holdings. Nothing is more exciting seeing these kinds of improvements.
