I’m self employed, my partner & I run one successful business (online ladies fashion store) & we’ve just started another one.
I’m in my early 30’s, I don’t have a private pension. I’ve been thinking for a while that I need to start one, my girl does too. The thing is though, like the post above me states - Some pension plans are a scam. What if I die before I even get back what I pay in over the next 30-35 years?
This is where bitcoin comes into play....I have plenty of bitcoin & to be honest even if I just keep 5 until I’m 65 the price then will probably be obscenely high that it’ll be so much better thsn a shitty pension any way.
You can create your own pension fund by just accumulating fiat, various stocks, Bitcoin and perhaps some metals or whatever. Doesn't take obscene amounts to at least be safe in retirement. The government pension fund here is legally mandatory if you're not self-employed or only making money through capital gains, which is why I just threw the $50 per month number out there. That's enough to at least not be scrambling for bread crumbs later on if you don't start very late. And with a couple hundred a month in stocks you'll live far above average if you don't buy the BitConnect IPO 100% of the time. Retirement funds aren't fun or exciting, but unless you're very sure that you will end up with "fuckyoumoney" anyways you best get started early. And that's most people given the wealth distribution data. If people started thinking about this earlier in life I'd be surprised if the wealth gap didn't start shrinking though, good thing education prepares them adequately for questions that matter. But that's off the point. |

Speaking of old, the retirement age in my country is being pushed back. We'll have 70+ old people working till their grave pretty soon, lots of people will never get their pension. Anyone have strong feelings on this?
Appears to be a kind of a you reap what you sow kind of thing to me. At least in Europe. Most people who will have trouble with pensions don't have much of an excuse as to why they didn't put some 10-50 bucks a month into a retirement fund. It's also pretty self-evident that government pension is a scam, at least around here. Whatever you pay in in fiat, you get back a fraction of. Even if you don't die ahead of schedule. And then there's inflation on top of that. Curiously, if you don't pay on schedule you get penalized as well and have to pay fines. Not sure how that's going to help the individuals that screamed for "government funded" pensions. But the fact that the only way to have a decent retirement is preparing it for yourself is pretty transparent if you try to look. Yet people vote precisely that reality in themselves. |

for real? I'm afraid I have become very jaded...part of me is looking for the long con. It's a gambling outlet. Designed to be profitable the more people play. This is just a bad situation turned into 100+ BTC worth of marketing. |

4 PM, but these things are rated at 131db
Last summer, I was puttering away in my studio one evening, while Rick was away at work still, and neighbor across the alley's daughter had all her noisy friends over hooting, hollering, and making all sorts of noise. 9pm-ish. Really got on my nerves after about 10 minutes, as their noisiness and shenanigans only increased. Decided I had enough. Cranked up the mix on all the channels and blared Blac Kolor "Awakening (feat. Jean-Luc De Meyer)" in it's entirety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXnyw_op7gw They got the message by the time the song ended. The wonders of human communication. |

Chalkboards on the other hand feel satisfying to write on. You can quickly erase minor mistake and then just wash your fucking hands with no residue. And when you're cleaning the board all it takes is two swipes with a window wiper to clear and dry the board without residue.
Yeah, but don't you hate it when that nice long piece of chalk breaks in half and you're left with two too-short pieces? I break chalk in half on purpose because half pieces are more comfortable to use in the first place. Plus they don't break. |

I honestly prefer chalkboard, if the chalk is good.
You cannot be a rational or logical person and prefer chalk over whiteboard. There's an inherent dirtiness to chalk. The board represents forward evolution in the form of leveraging the mind in order to create tools that allow a mastery over the environment. The chalk is the antithesis of said phenomenon. It embodies the spirit of a wild plains negro rolling around in the dirt. The environment is defeating you instead. bah you can argue any old shit any time A whiteboard marker is the most frustrating thing on earth.With the advent of a great idea it withers and dies and leaves somewhat a pathetic representation of what was desired, "get a marker get a marker", they cried. But only permanent markers preside, that's no good to me, they cried. Lets wind up this meeting...… Q.E.D. ☐ |

~ NO! wait for MOON, then throw him a BTC and own that perfect place in the green  I doubt old people will ever understand Bitcoin. I'm 55 does that qualify as old? Do you understand Bitcoin? Well I run an LN node and do one shitcoin mining to raise my BTC stash slowly. I know how to HODL. Does that count as knowing enough? Yes. Do you play games or do any other stuff that ageists wouldn't expect? |

It embodies the spirit of a wild plains negro rolling around in the dirt. The environment is defeating you instead. Have you actually used a whiteboard and chalkboard for any significant periods of time? Whiteboards are fucking annoying. Pens always run out. You always get that shitty marker on your hands that is hard to wash off. It feels unpleasant to write on it. You can't as easily correct minor mistakes. Markers always leave residue. Chalkboards on the other hand feel satisfying to write on. You can quickly erase minor mistake and then just wash your fucking hands with no residue. And when you're cleaning the board all it takes is two swipes with a window wiper to clear and dry the board without residue. There's just no argument here, and anyone I know who actually has to write anything during lectures agrees. The only ones disagreeing are degenerate social "scientists" who read pleb tier power point presentations. Are you a degenerate social scientist? Do you advocate for full blown socialism? |

What kind of moron uses a chalkboard instead of a whiteboard in the year 2019. Better yet, why do you need an interpreter who is doing a half ass and inefficient job just reading shit out of a book and writing it on a board when you can just read the book yourself?
I honestly prefer chalkboard, if the chalk is good. At least when I'm the one doing the writing. Agree with the rest. It's much easier and more efficient to learn a language from a person than from a book. I couldn't tell you because I've learned all of my non-native languages from just reading and writing on the webs. But I generally prefer studying on my own because my questions annoy every teacher. |

You can say about Twatter what you want, but Jack seems like a decent dude. Willing to be convinced otherwise if there are any interesting talks by/with him that one could refer me to. |

Everyone is talking about the 140k BTC potential sell-side pressure from the Mt Gox coin redistribution to creditors Absolutely no-one is talking about the $627million being distributed to creditors who may then decide to *buy more* Bitcoin  https://twitter.com/alistairmilne/status/1108769707463770112I voted dump btw. Because dump that BCash. |

I like how the Google engineers made JayJuanGee spell "ratt" incorrectly in every post to make him seem more human.
What kind of data set would they have trained him on? His sentences seem far too convoluted to have any significant amounts of data to train off of. Most people would type more like this. At best. |

Well, it’s official.
Getting drunk today when I get back home from running errands.
Just... fuck.
So sad about this utter support collapse.
So far it bounced off of some obvious MAs on the Binance charts. Is it possible, with sufficiently deep bags, to go short on Bitfinex or whatever people use and then dump a load of BTC on some random exchange in a profitable manner? These dumps seem pretty weird and ineffective otherwise. |

Looking like we might be dipping below $4,000 again soon. We didn’t break high enough past it, I think a couple of our bear whales are going to see this as an opportunity to force us below $4,000.....AGAIN !!!!!
yes I agree with you I am not sure but I think to Dump and try to hit $3800, 1% BTC dump crushed some alts.. Panic sellers are destroying the game. You are about to become one yourself. |

Does anybody know if I am legally required to permit my landlord entry for strictly unnecessary renovations?
He keeps coming up with new shit every other month and I don't want to see him or anyone at my house for no reason other than him being old and bored.
Send him to my place! I need a few upgrades/repairs and have neither the time nor the inclination... anyway there are hats to be made. Maybe we've got a business opportunity here. Rent out all his properties, wait until he renovates them, then sub-lease them for a higher price! I honestly think that he's just bored and craves human interaction and can't even begin to process the idea that he could be annoying to others. If I outright tell him that he's fucking annoying I'm suddenly the asshole though.
The location of this place is perfect, lots of green, quiet. Huge mall within walking range. But god damn it, if he doesn't stop soon I'll have to move.
NO! wait for MOON, then throw him a BTC and own that perfect place in the green When we hit moon I'm designing my own property and mansion with the salmon/shrimp predator/prey pond and other weird nonsense nobody needs.  Maybe a little village for family and friends. Ask him to join here and advise him to be a regular in Meta and Reputation LOL
What if he's already here? The description sounds a lot like JJG  He couldn't be any further from JJG. JJG is confrontational. This guy is just so nice that he can't imagine that somebody wouldn't want to talk to him. This place has a lot of weirdly 'proper' old folks. |

Now I wanna see in his flat  it might not be hygienic. Lmao, if maids didn't cost peanuts then probably. Only my desk though and only when working on some shit that I need pen and paper for. That would scare him off once and for all. Potentially worth ruining my OpSec for too. HMMMMMMMMMMM
How about sending him to Roger Ver for some consultancy? Ver scammer will sell him some bCash by saying that that's Bitcoin. I doubt he could mentally process an interaction that isn't sitcom style "nice and proper". |
