Steven Mnuchin, Treasury Nominee, Failed to Disclose $100 Million in Assets

Quote
WASHINGTON — Steven T. Mnuchin, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick to be Treasury secretary, failed to disclose nearly $100 million of his assets on Senate Finance Committee disclosure documents and forgot to mention his role as a director of an investment fund located in a tax haven, an omission that Democrats said made him unfit to serve in one of the government’s most important positions.

The revelation came hours before Mr. Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs banker, began testifying on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, which has historically been bipartisan in its demands for transparency from nominees. Mr. Mnuchin was ready to outline his vision for the economy and defend himself against claims that he headed a bank that ran a “foreclosure machine” during the financial crisis.

I have a little bit of an issue with the phrase:  "ask for bitcoin when you buy."

I understand that it is meant to serve as a kind of clarification that there is only one bitcoin and that you gotta be careful regarding other sham coins, but it also seems to be sending a contradictory  message which plays into one of the scam coin talking points, such as bcash and perhaps some of the others in that you should have a preference to be able to spend your bitcoin.. when sound money principles would not emphasize the spending part very much.

I do know that some day when it comes time for you to spend some of your bitcoin, you are going to want to have a decent number of spending options -anyhow, maybe not such a ambiguous expression would have been better  - because like there is another desire, in conformity with Gresham's law, is to spend your less good money first, so you might not really care so much about which one you are spending as long as you are mostly HODLing your bitcoin and spending it last (or otherwise largely replacing what you do spend in a relatively timely and/or strategic manner if you are trying to accumulate and/or maintain your btc stash rather than purposefully knowing that you would be liquidating part of your btc stash if you were to not have a practice/plan to replace it).

There is another current disadvantage in spending BTC that is biased in favor of the receiver rather than the sender, and that is non-reversibility... so some sellers might be reluctant to spend BTC over other payment forms when some other payment forms that are available to them might have some buyer protections - to be able to reverse the transaction in cases that reversibility might be important to keep the seller honest.. surely not in small ticket items but larger ticket items that might require delivery, warrantability or something like that.

Btw I thing my friend told me at 350-ish = he Said imagine this thing could rise crazy high with only a 10% chance of succeeding.... Then you must invest, and for him the % of success where much higher but nontheless imo you already should invest with thinking this.... might be b00ze talking now, and F*** mindrust go all-in bro, be more happy with your wealth in BTC as in crypto especially when there are no unexpected costs looking around the corner....

Personally, it seems to me that mindrust has a pretty decent approach, even though sometimes i do not really agree with him, and also he seems to go through a quite a lot of emotional turmoil regarding what to do exactly, yet I believe that he maintains most of his sanity by keeping some funds in fiat rather than "going all in."  

I do recognize that a decent number of people do kick themselves on a regular basis asserting that they should have gone all in at time x or time y or time z, and they had the money to do so, but they did not have the balls.  Seems like those people would be easily shaken too, so even though each of us may have tendencies to second guess ourselves in this regard, we have to balance an investment strategy and approach for the present, and not regretting about the past, and our present assessment has to prepare ourselves at each present time for either UP or DOWN, so in that regard, it comes off as way too foolish in the gambling direction to be going "all in" or anywhere close to "all in" when a guy (or gal) is hardly even close to confident regarding bitcoin's price direction - short term, medium term or even trepidations about long term.

I do think mindrust absolutely knows what he's doing..... but just always waiting for again lower the then push the pedal and invest the total reserved amount of FIAT is just not how I would do (again thats just me) I would prefer to push forward at whatever reasonable good price moment instead of waiting for the 30-50% drop....
I also prefer to hold more in BTC as I hold in FIAT.... and if he would buy he's reserved FIAT in BTC then there is enough time to buy dips with fresh incoming FIAT afterwards ......

But you must feel very confident and feel good with holding FIAT in BTC whiteout being emotional touched by its swings.....

Well, maybe we need mindrust to clarify the facts regarding this lil dispute then?

Seems that you and I are reading the facts different.

From my reading, Mindrust had already invested more than 20% of his investible assets into BTC.   Of course, the percentage of that overall percentage into BTC has gone up because of BTC's price appreciation and still could be decently over 50% (I don't recall exactly if he disclosed how much for the appreciation, but that is quite a bit)....  

I personally would not get too upset if total BTC proportion is higher due to BTC price appreciation as compared with how much he initially put in and how much he is continuing to authorize himself to invest on a regular basis.

The thing is that he continues to keep some kind of reserve fund for investing in BTC which he allocates for both regular dollar cost average buying on a regular basis (no matter what the price) and another portion of his allocated fiat that is dedicated for buying on dips.  

I believe that there is nothing wrong with his plan, but there seems to be something wrong with his getting anxious, on a regular basis about his plan.  I am starting to think it is his own personal psychological anxiety of feeling that he does not own enough BTC.   He wants to be rich before he is rich, so he is trying to rush it based on the total amount of assets that he has.  It is a kind of understandable situation.  Let's say someone has less than 10 BTC and they have spent a lot of time working his butt off to acquire that stash, but he would feel a whole hell of a lot more comfortable if he had more than 30BTC.. but such a thing is not really very realistic given his total financial situation.

Anyhow, I personally think that he is doing well, given his own circumstances, in spite of his anxiety, and I think that sometimes he does overinvest, too... which also causes him some anxiety that he could have used those same funds to buy lower, if the BTC price subsequently were to go down.

Ultimately probably the question continues to be a kind of wanting to do the best that you can with the amount of resources that you have, and even though he is doing pretty good, he would feel a whole hell of a lot better once BTC goes up more than 10x again or if he were able to increase his BTC stash by something like 3x, and then he would not need BTC to go up 10x in order to achieve similar results in terms of comfort levels regarding overall wealth.

Well, I don't really have anything clever to say.

JJG's post pretty much sums it. If I was all in now, every time btc made x2 against FIAT, it would have created huge pressure on me. I'd rather be chill and hodl for a bit longer to get to my target wealth. I'd probably get to my target much sooner than I'll ever will if went all in...

I could have gone all in when it was $3k, didn't do. Could have done it when it was $5k still didn't. $8k? nope. Now we are at $10k? How many of you really would go all in now? How many? I don't see many hands in the air... Yep that's why I didn't go all in back in the day.

Tbh I don't really know what I am doing.

I just canalize around %20 to %40 of my monthly income to btc.  Grin It just feels right to me that way. %20-%40 monthly is probably what JJG calls "overinvesting" and to mic, I am probably underinvesting.  Grin Last year in Feb I was about to go not all in but I was going to invest %100 of my monthly income and for a few months I actually did it. (now that was overinvesting)
 
The truth is I don't have many choices.

I don't like to buy stocks and I still wouldn't buy too many of them if they were cheap and luckily for me they are not, which makes my decision a lot easier. Especially in where I live, stocks are a big "NO NO" It is a much bigger casino than Primedice.

Gold? Own a few coins. Which is enough.

What's left? Real Estate? I am not big enough for that stuff and even If I were, I still wouldn't do it. Too much paperwork, too many shit to deal with. Being a landlord of somebody is not something I'd really want but I'll be one eventually if get to my target probably.

Crypto is just so easy. You buy, it goes up, you cash out, pay your taxes and you are free to go. Almost no paperwork, no rules when you trade. Markets are up 24/7 you can cash out any time. It is just great.

If you have a decent investment idea, you are free to tell me about it. I'll look into it.

My own initial investments on crypto more than doubled itself now. I am quite happy with the results but ofc it is not enough for my targeted "fuck you" status.

I am just trying to get to the double digits with btc. If I get to the "fuck you" price before that happens that's fine. If not I'll just be DCA'ing. DCA'ing feels so good. I became an addict. It is like you are doing some groceries for home every month (or week) but you get bitcoins instead. I feel comfortable that way.

Oh look, I became a wordy man too.
