Well yeah,
He has a signature to uphold for a gambling site.
Just because he is getting ostracized on the WO thread doesn't mean he can't use the rest of what it has to offer.
I would post the "Never go full..." Robert Downey Jr. in el noir face to follow up on this but I am not that cruel. Wink

Also congrats to Bob & Rick.
From what I remember being in this thread for not so long (almost 1.5 years now) I don't think I've seen Rick before. Was he the one holding the avatar of Pickle Rick on his hat?  Undecided

Dear Wise Wall:  How the fuck did this clown get merit source status?

Edit:  Fixed typo.
He has russian connections.
Didn't you know? They run this mutha! Grin

I've always thought, that if I retired, I'd probably need to maintain at least double my salary coming in just to pay for all the things I'd need to do to stop me getting bored out of my mind.
That being the case, I'm not going to retire anytime soon, even if MoonTM.

my retirement goal required three times what i figured was the "normal" amount i needed. took longer but i do like huge safety margins.

and boredom? i have never been bored in my entire life. i have far too many interests and hobbies. i love learning and trying new things (and have the scars and broken bones to attest to that).

ive never understand how someone can get bored.

yeah have to agree with you on bolded part of the quote.

I feel obliged to come to the defence of English teeth, which tend to be in generally good condition. However, I was shocked to see the state of teeth in Scotland and Ireland during visits - appalling. Unfortunately, they give the entire British Isles an undeserved reputation for poor teeth, when it is in fact the Celtic nations which deserve the reputation. Perhaps Celts have a genetic disposition towards poor teeth? The Scottish diet is also horrific, so perhaps another correlation. Athough, the numbers of those with particuarly crooked teeth (which can be easily fixed at adolescence) in Scotland suggests it might be down to parental and societal apathy....

careful now... showy mountaintop ahead...

Even if BTC prices fail  to go above December 2017 levels by this December, there is no such 3 year fractal pattern in bitcoin...

Bitcoin happens to have a 4-year-ish fractal pattern, so there happens to be a whole another year to get above that there mountaintop...

What will actually happen, may well be another story.....

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still hanging tough over $16k... currently $16195USD/$21320CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Nice and steady. Go Bitcoin go.

Today was a good day Smiley

Rick is officially planning his exit/retirement tonight Smiley

Congrats. Welcome to the cub Rick.

Hopefully he's seen enough of Bob's early retirement to avoid the common traps of having much more time and much less routine.

This why early retirement should be done as young as possible. The fewer established routines, the less stress upon retirement. Maintaining a business or two is actually good for a retirement unless you allow it to stress you.

Enjoy job emancipation.

Needs an illustration of this would look like if Americans had any style, which they don’t.

I hope that the new QE Infinity® printers will let people produce $100 trillion banknotes of such elegance from the safety of their prisons “homes”.

For you Americans, “Hundert Billionen” means what you would call 100 trillion-with-a-T:

Re btc in retirement funds-eu has XBT provider (bitcoin tracker one)-I managed to buy it in Fidelity Roth IRA, but it is completely illiquid in US because of some SEC complains.
A few months ago decided to put 50% of one Roth IRA account into GBTC+whatever I had in bitcoin tracker one (not much).
Why not? Many people thought the same, probably, hence the increase in Barry's fund from 1bil to 7 bil and growing fast.

Re retirement per se, here are my 2c:

Providing that btc "behaves" like a good bull this year, I am thinking of instituting a "dialed down" work.
Thankfully, I can do it at my work place-at first, reduce by 44% with salary decrease of only 26%, then, next year, start taking a whole summer off, another 23% hit.
In the end, I will be making about 60-61% while working much less and taking all-summer vacations.
All I would need to do is to supplement that 40% that would be missing, which is much easier than to finance the whole retirement Bob's style.

In the end, I will be making about 60-61% while working much less and taking all-summer vacations.
All I would need to do is to supplement that 40-45% that would be missing, which is much easier than to finance the whole retirement Bob's style.

I am glad that you, Biodom, are being somewhat creative with your way of looking into these kinds of matters.

So, in accordance with your recent calculations and some of our previous conversations, you should ONLY need around $2.4 to $2.7 million (40-45%-ish) in principle rather than the $6 million that you had mentioned - making the amount of principle a wee bit more reachable.

I see that currently, BTC's 208-week moving average are approaching $7k, so as I type, to be conservative and prudent, a $2.4 to $2.7 million in principle would ONLY require 342.86 to 385.715 BTC to meet your maintenance of current lifestyle expectations. 

On a positive note, many of us should be expecting the 208-week moving average to continue to move up in the coming years - especially given current BTC prices, recent BTC price performance and some of the expectations around BTC price performance (including the various legitimate BTC price models, which seem to be largely playing out within previous/recent expectations).  Another possibility could be to shave off some BTC at prices that are much higher than 208-week moving average prices in order to NOT have so much of the expectations in BTC.. but then you would  be stuck with attempting to maintain that principle in other assets... currently, that shaving off would only require 147.24 to 165.65 BTC (based on current $16,300 BTC prices), and surely that would be risky to shave off all of the BTC in order to ensure adequate principle, even though some combination of approaches could be doable - depending on the size of your BTC stash - which would then bring you to some variation of Bob's approach in terms of cashing out some reasonable portion rather than all of your BTC stash.

I think at this point most working in the financial area are going to be aware of btc and how good it is. They may not be maximalists like here but I think it quite likely they continue to trash talk while accumulating. This is fine. The people that are going to lose out are the typical retail investors that haven't bothered to educate themselves to any depth about it, or the larger part of the world's population that doesn't have a pot to piss in and are unbanked. So, new elite from btc, but still a category of elites.
