Personally I prefer as natural as possible. Was never vaccinated as a kid, was born at home, went to the medical doctor twice growing up (once for a broken collar bone and once for a broken arm), don't take anything to numb my teeth for cavities, I've never even had an aspirin. I avoided caffeine growing up and usually only get it through tea nowdays. I've been to doctors as an adult but it is usually some sort of checkup for work.

I hardly ever get sick. If I do, there's usually a home remedy to help it (most often it falls to 'feed a cold, starve a fever'). I go to chiropractors often to stay healthy.

I do fall into eating American food more often than I should. The chemicals in that shit are just as bad as most things out there. Been doing better here in Tahiti. I think part of the reason many Tahitians are fat is due to McDonalds being the only fast food restaurant here. And the locals flock to it.

Not that I care what others do with their bodies, everyone around me smokes pot. They just know I don't want any and respect that (like civilized human beings).

We had that fat chick, Lambchop, who was a financial commentator posting pictures of gay old men. Making fun of us because we chose Bitcoin instead of the obviously superior fiat.

Literally every country in the world has had a bank announce this. Then declare that Bitcoin is banned in that country.


We need a press release stating that bank transfers have been banned in <insert country here>. The article will state that the developers of the Bitcoin protocol from <insert country here> have decided not to implement the slow bank transfers into Bitcoin and any such attempt would not be allowed on the network.

Those are Soros clones signing up to short bitcoin.

One of the worst industries is about to be disrupted.

To be honest I don't post that many things that are merit worthy....mostly just random BS that doesn't add much. With a few scattered useful posts for flavor.

And the only reason my merit is high is because I don't give out very many. And when I do it's usually one at a time.

The fact that Vitalik called out Craig Wright makes me want to buy my first ethereums with the bcash I still have left.

Is he saying "more baby sausage!"?

Ya, he was already on the path of wealth. But I think going from a few million dollars to starting to think you will be a billionaire like Bill Gates or Mark Cuban will transform you.

When I see prices going over $100k I go from just a guy that can retire and seek out my own passions to someone that could change the world in so many ways. I like to think I will still be a minimalist and continue to focus on evolving myself into a wise human being, but someone might fuck with me the wrong way and I might want to turn their whole world to shit by buying their town and then changing the name to "Joe Smith sucks balls". Just because I can.

Ver has an idea that he is somehow linked to Satoshi and for some reason thinks his vision is down one path. He feels it is his duty to use his vast wealth to make things "right" the way he sees things.

Then again, maybe it's all of the drugs.

Money can change people. He went up significantly in wealth in a very short amount of time.

I think the highest amount anyone in this thread has ever revealed is about .5 BTC. You have to give it to him though...he's pretty rich now after holding for 5 years.

A vast majority of our discussions are on tax compliance and how best to follow the rules.

It has been generally accepted that we all just go ahead and pay extra on top of any taxes earned just to be on the safe side. However nobody here actually gives any tax advice as we are not certified attorneys and that would be highly illegal, which is the last thing any of us want to do.

Some discussion is on how to become an IRS agent as that is the ideal job for anyone and we all wish we could be one but we're mostly not smart enough for such a prestigious career.

Definitely vulnerable to violence (as my friend told me when we went to a place where it was only locals..."stick with us just in case").

Fortunately on the seastead I will have my 3D metal printer to print as many guns as I want.

I jumped off a bridge when the price dropped.


It was a foot bridge...2 feet above the water. Got my shoes wet 

That's because so many of us have to pass through "gun free" zones. Making ourselves vulnerable to mass shooters.

I was looking at the huge sell wall on the bottom that appeared briefly.

I would be such an engineer...though my DB skills are not the best. Never have been.

Was observing the wall and saw this thing pop up for a quick second:
