I think it’s great Sam Bankman has had so much success in the crypto space.
I think when people experience envy with other peoples success it’s really a reflection of their own fear.
I think it’s great that he’s done well and wonderful that he’s given a significant portion of his money to charity. I’ve read that supposedly he’s a stand-up guy.

I think it's great that India has legalized bitcoin. I see this is a great opportunity for Indians to get into the crypto space and take advantage of this amazing revolutionary technology. Legalization will inevitably have a positive impact on the Indian economy as BTC has created significant wealth for countries with a large percentage of adoption. It's unfortunate that they’re taxing crypto but I think that it's expected that governments want a piece of the action considering how many citizens around the world have benefited financially.

I understand your frustration with the volatility of BTC. One of the biggest pieces of advice I can offer is to just be patient and stay the course. With a truly revolutionary technology like BTC it can take time to mature but people, organizations and governments all around the world are already seeing the value and market adoption is reaching staggering levels. If you practice patience and try not to pay attention to every correction you will feel a lot more peace of mind.

I have heard that a lot of crypto wallets are hacked through Telegram. Personally, this is why I don't use Telegram. I think too many bad actors are looking for ways to exploit Telegram users. For social media, I only use Facebook and Instagram because I have heard of less incidents of hacking on those platforms.

I choose not to purchase disposable, single use items like coffee with bitcoin because I see the long term value of holding my BTC. Personally, I believe BTC will reach 100k in 2022 so purchasing coffee with crypto seems like a bad deal. On the other hand, I can understand buying items that you see as an investment with crypto. For example, I have friends that have bought smart phones or cars with BTC because those purchases can potentially give one the ability to earn more money.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I was finally able to purchase an iPhone 13 pro max using my Bitcoin

I think it's fantastic that you bought an iphone 13 with bitcoin. It's great that more and more companies are accepting bitcoin to purchase their goods and services. Personally, I use BTC as a more of a long term investment to hedge against the coming inflation but I can understand the need to purchase certain goods like smart phones with BTC. A good phone can also be a great investment, perhaps not in terms of resale value but it can have a high ROI if you are using it to help you earn more money.

I think CBD has many positive properties that can help people suffering with cancer.
I understand that many people have different uses for CBD and I believe that all people should have access to it if they find it beneficial to their health.
Personally, I would prefer THC because I hear it helps with insomnia and anxiety.

I have an older Roomba vacuum cleaner that still works. It does the job more or less but probably not as effective as it once was. The battery is not nearly as good as it used to be and I suspect that maybe negatively effecting its performance. I would consider getting a new one because it really is a time saver.

I don’t smoke because I think it’s unhealthy. I understand it was popular in the old days because people were unaware smoking causes cancer. However, now with the all the medical research linking smoking to different health problems it just doesn’t appeal to me.

I use the iPhone 12 Pro Max. It’s not for everyone because of the size but it really fits my lifestyle. I work in a capacity that screen size and picture quality is of the utmost importance. I’m aware there’s a new iPhone out now but I’m satisfied at the moment.

Look I got to be honest, I love this art so much. I am not a serious art collector but this is my favorite personal style. Everything about the classic imagery mixed with BTC just speaks to me.

I think praying, thanking God and expressing gratitude is a very good practice. I am not in the habit of praying daily however when I feel a calling to express my gratitude for all of the wonderful gifts bestowed on me, I check in with my higher power. I truly think praying adds value to my life. Sometimes I go through all the things I am grateful for before bed because that is a time when I am sure I will not be disturbed by anyone in my house.

Today I started watching an interesting new documentary series on the great Paul McCartney. I learned that he got to see Jimi Hendrix play live in the mid 60s. What an amazing time to have been alive. I would have loved to see these legends just doing their thing in swinging London.

I think it’s tragic that the Bogdonoff brothers passed this last week. It looks like they lived a happy, full and exciting life til their 70s.
I believe their family descended from European nobility. From what I read they did not get the vaccine but that is a personal decisions and I would never speak ill of the dead.

I do enjoy gambling a bit here and there. My game is blackjack and I am pretty good if I do say so myself. My advice for is to never take insurance. This includes taking ‘even money’ with a black jack against a dealer ace.
