Or they did.
Hopefully but if they did they should not have had a problem weathering even a few years.
Or with hundreds of btc to their names they said fuck this shit. I am moving to costa rica.
You are thinking that 200 BTC is enough?
or does the amount need to be a wee bit more?
Hey, if such bar/restaurant does NOT pay as much as the saved (stacked) BTC, then why work? Even if such working BTC HODLer might feel like s/he/they is doing a good thing for society or the BTC community by selling food, drinks and services for BTC?
When s/he/they might be able to exercise an option of NOT working and sustaining him/her themselves in a similar standard of living -
sans the drolling obligations of work?
Reminds me a little bit of a waiter that I met in a restaurant a few weeks back. He was probably a few years older than me, and we knew some of the same people my age around the area that I would have gone to school with, so we had some similar child roots. My eating companions introduced me to him as someone from the area, and told him that I had recently travelled back to the area. The waiter asked me what I did for a living, and I said that I did not really do much of anything in recent years, except travel. I said that I had been working a few years ago, but I was largely done with working and I was in the midst of planning another trip.. trying to decide where to go, exactly.. based on some current difficult world-wide dynamics.
Out of familiarity, he seemed to have shown himself to be a bit bitter about my current status, and made a remark to suggest that I should still be working. I was caught off guard by the directness of his hostility, and I did not want to say anything to make him feel worse or to cause more resentment from him because in some ways I know that I am privileged to have gotten to a status in life where I don't really do much of anything except for projects that I want to do, but it was not like I had opportunities in life that would have been greater than his opportunities.. we came from a similar place, and we were about the same age.. In essence, I started from very modest means, and he seemed to have recognized that, so it seems that I just may have made some better choices along the way... (and maybe got lucky by some of those choices, too) seems to me.
Anyhow, back to the original topic regarding whether we might want to have a J.O.B., even if we have other options.. sure.. I believe that we all might not mind contributing to society in some kinds of ways, perhaps?, but by the time we get to a certain age, there may be fewer reasons that we want to contribute in ways that are not really of our own choosing.. so maybe we would prefer to contribute, if at all, in ways that are completely of our own choosing, right?
Even the most pleasant of J.O.B.s, might start to feel a bit taxing when the quantity of BTC that we have in our wallet(s) might facilitate other seemingly better options.. meaning that we might start to have options to NOT be tied to certain J.O.B.s, that tie us down geographically or in activities at times that are NOT really of our choosing, right?
Even the boss and the owner likely has obligations that get to be too much, and surely if working as an hourly or tips based employee, the feelings of routine might feel even worse to be stuck with fewer options, no?
By the way, for my own calculations of "fuck you" status, I have recently revised my old numbers to convert away from the 200-week moving average to the 208-week moving average. I am thinking that I prefer the 208-week moving average because it is more closely aligned to 4 years, and gives me a little bit more conservative number... but even the 208-week moving average is at nearly $6,700, currently as I type this post - and so it is only about $250 lower than the 200-week moving average (at about $6,950)... I would rather error in my own personal calculations on the side of a wee bit more conservative....
So, the 208-week moving average gives "fuck you" status at about 298.5 BTC (presuming a $2 million dollar entry level, yet understandable that different WO peeps are going to find their "fuck you" entry level target amount to be in differing places - even though I consider $2 million to be largely workable and reasonable overall as a hypothetical entry level for "fuck you" status... maybe 10 years ago $1 million would have been reasonable.. and maybe 10 years from now, $4 million will be reasonable, as a "fuck you" status entry level.. .overall, it probably depends upon how inflation continues.. but surely based on the practice of debt economies (Keynesian, money printer go Bbbbbrrrrrr, style) we would expect ongoing inflation of around doubling or so in the next 10 years-ish?)...
