Of course, our stories likely diverge a bit with the shitcoinery bullshit that was coming into the space in 2017 (and yes referring to BIG blocker nonsense), and sure you suggest that you hung onto your bitcoin stash during that period (until present), but I was getting the sense that you failed and refused to continue to prepare for BTC UPpity during that time, and so you can sugar coat all that you like, but if you are worried that lumber prices might have doubled in the past several months, that really should seem like a BIG so fucking what for anyone who actually adequately prepared for bitcoin UPpity in the recent years... so your statement in itself (which likely reflects how you really feel about your level of richie) seems to reflect something problematic in your preparation for UPpity.. .. and sure maybe I am wrong? and sure maybe you can set me straight on these presumptions, but my own preparations have caused me to transition (especially based on BTC's price performance since September of now more than 6x) into a kind of NOT giving any shits about price rises of various goods that I want, including if they might have doubled in recent times.
Where am I going wrong in my thinkenings and presumptions about your likely failure/refusal to adequately pee pare ur lil selfie for UPpity, Richy?
By the way, some of the BIG blockers really got reckt in either buying into Bcash or failing/refusing to keep an adequate BTC stash.. and I apologize if I am actually lumping you into that category because I do recall that you have stated that you have hung onto your BTC stash.. but those kinds of levels of "hanging onto your BTC stash" are likely relative terms and bitcoin's price appreciation might have rescued you and maybe several other BIG blockers from their stupid ass levels of dumb to the extent that they hung onto some of their BTC... but they are no where even close to where they would have been if they had got completely out of those various bcash scammenings... which scammenings from Bcashes are ongoing, even if they are quite a bit less convincing, they are still trapping newbies into their worthless coins /projects.
Opsec indeed prevents me from divulging too much. I did have a reasonable appraisal of Bitcoin's potential fairly quickly so whilst not having an accumulation target per se, I bought what I could with money I had lying around and would have bought a similar amount later but the banks were messing with the poor chap I was dealing with so that was that (though hopefully that went well with him). I bought in drips and drabs after that as more options became available but when you have a good stash, the more you're putting in, the more you're risking losing on the downside. Perhaps not the optimal way to view things but hindsight is always 20-20.
The fork was pretty much a non-event for anyone with a cool head on their shoulders. When it occurred, everyone was left with an equal amount of each coin. If the fork was successful, it would go to the moon, if not, BTC was likely still set to go to the moon. It was only those chasing greed, trying to maximize their funds or with hard-line agendas that felt the need to sell all of one to buy the other. I like to leave room for the chance that I am wrong so I kept both. That's all I'll say about the fork here because that's all that's relevant but I have a few opinions about it.
but if you are worried that lumber prices might have doubled in the past several months, that really should seem like a BIG so fucking what for anyone who actually adequately prepared for bitcoin UPpity in the recent years...
Frugal living can be a hard habit to break. You should see my car. But just as you talk about preparing for "uppity", spending more than is needed is similarly antithetical to benefiting from that movement. We are talking about what could be an $8000 shed probably coming out at around $15,000 or more in this market. That's a difference not to be sniffed at.
