Considering that scale, a wedding doesn't really cost that much.
true ~100 people wedding is small ( maybe on the larger spectrum of "small wedding"?? ) but if selling your left kidney wont cover the cost... i think its considered "expensive". What if we figured out anti-aging and you could live forever? Does that change your views on marriage?
no? why would it? Good, then can you just tell her that you want to plan it right to do it right, at the right time? she already knows i dont really want to get married. she understands that i'm not ready for marriage right now, but she thinks i might change my mind.... she says that either we end up getting married or we break up. so i'm kinda forced to conclude the only thing left for me to do is break up... |

when you love a person but one says "we get married or we break up" while the other says " my problem with marriage is two fold ", its a damn shame...

i hear you,
it pisses me off as well of course the money could be better spend.
but being with this person implies this marriage deal.
its a hard and complex decision....
she's not asking for somthing extraordinary, i am by not wanting marriage.

 Don't forget you get a lot of presents though. We received back in cash/checks/returns about what we spent on the wedding. Plus all the stuff we didn't return. (we had some help from both sets of parents for the wedding, so we got back about what we personally spent on it). oh right i guess that helps so the money aspect might not be AS bad as simply burning 10K for show. i still have a panicky feeling. i'm not sure i can do this thing... |

I love the idea of marriage and what it means for two people, I hate what the wedding industry has done to it. My wife and I got married last September and I am extremely happy and fortunate to have her in my life. We wanted our friends and family to celebrate our decision to love one another unconditionally forever, but that has a huge cost.
The people who are involved in weddings have comparable skills in my eyes to someone doing menial labor jobs, so why on earth does it cost 3k+ for someone to take a few pictures? I understand it is more than a few pictures and they have to spend hours touching them up and making them look pretty, but lets get serious. This is someone who bought a camera and decided they could be a photographer. It is absolutely insane that a cake costs almost a thousand dollars. We decided to just get a small 2 tier cake and 2 sheet cakes which stall ran almost 400 dollars, absolutely ridiculous for freaking cake. I halfway understand catering costs, since there is a lot of prep time and work time put into the event, but sometimes it still gets ridiculous. Ring costs are absolutely ridiculous, diamonds are fairly common outside of the United States but the big name jewelers have made it so only so many can be imported per year, driving the price to insane levels. And probably the worst of all is the event space. I fully have a plan to buy as many barns as humanly possible and rent them out for weddings. We ended up paying almost 2 grand for a community center! Next closest venue was over 4k and it only went up from there, just for a barn or room or something stupid like that. Another terrible thing is for a DJ. Our DJ cost about 400 dollars and was supposed to play from 5 to 11. That is over 60 dollars an hour for someone who just hits another song on their IPOD. Guests started showing up at 430 to 445 and my mom asked if he could start playing some light music to entertain people since he had everything set up and was just standing there and he said, verbatim, "My contract doesn't start until 5". Get the F over yourself dude! You are a high school drop out who pushes next on an IPOD. Just play a damn song.
That is some of the major costs for a wedding, but don't forget the smaller costs that add up such as dresses and tuxes and gifts and rehearsal dinners and gifts for those coming from out of town at their hotels, and I am sure 100 other things I am forgetting.
The problem is that we have convinced these people who have no real marketable skills that they are in high demand for weddings and we have convinced ourselves that they are needed and there is no other way. I would have been absolutely fine substituting half that stuff out and saving close to 10 to 15 grand on the whole thing. But until that starts to happen, prices will continuously go up to help support the ego's of people who think they are marketable because we tell them that they are.

not really, i was just trying to think of reasons anyone would want to throw their money/freedom away on an expensive farce..
the idea is that you want to have a special day where you celebrate your love. same kind of idea as wanting to travel the world and go sightseeing. Investing in a memories? you can consider it a waste of money ( i do ) but i think most poeple will disagree. my problem with marriage is 2 fold. 1) expensive, the idea of blowing huge amount of savings on 1 day makes me panic. 2) legally binding, signing on the dotted line is a big deal, with consequences if things dont work out a few years down the line... it feels like i'm signing away certain freedoms, and for what? as "proof of love"  HUH?! |

Thing is... well it may happen or not. But charts do not have life for themselves. Big raises reflect a lot of people putting dollars into BTC in a short ammount of time. And it does not seem that easy that will happen.
everyone selling all at once does not seem very likely either... i suspect the start of the rise will not be due to alot of buyer pilling in more like to few seller allow a few million to really move the market. i mean if we have 1 million die hard fans that will each HODL on avg 20BTC like there life depended on it, well then... we have a problem! so i think it'll start like that, to few sellers, and then the all price increases week in week out will bring on a new wave of poeple who will all pile in at once while the bitcoin nutters all HODL and then... well then... ha ha! KaBoom 32,000$ |

Such artificial pump of ETH and artificial dump of BTC can last only so long...
vomit... Maybe later, it may materialize into something more concrete in which I would feel more comfortable investing? you bought the BTC Top and now you're planning to buy the ETH top... if you think you'd buy a some ETH, if it become somthing more concrete, then you really should hold a few right now "just in case" type thing... what's 50$?? buy a few and really invest when/if it becomes appropriate to do so. i agree with you ETH is very speculative right now, and very risky, good chance it goes to 0... so then dont invest 5000$ just make a speculative bet... |

one antminer s7 generate 0.37 btc per day and consume 864 kwh per month
you need 2.7 antminer for 1 btc per month, which would consume 2332.8 kwh per month, or 2.3328 mwh per month
per day would be 30 times greater and per hour would be 24 times 720 times greater
so, one antminer s7 generate 0.37 btc per day = 11,1 btc per month which would consume 864 kwh 846/11,1=76,21 kwh per 1 btc but with franky's data we get 120kwh per 1 btc wtf thats sounds super cheap isn't like 10-20 cents per kwh? so 120kwh = 1BTC = 12$ lol no way I look forward to this threads conclusion... |
