About the smoking thing... Have you tried vaping? The vaping industry has evolved amazingly in last 5 years.
I haven't tried that. However, one of my goals is to eliminate this expense from my budget. Is vaping cheaper?
About the "heritage" you should be instructing her already on this stuff and what to do.
My partner is actually a
he. We are not transgendered, so male pronouns are much preferred. (Not offended though at you. Common mistake. You don't know me and naturally assuming a straight relationship will always be the default assumption.) The problem with sitting down with him is that he fails to try and understand bitcoin. He has made it clear that I am not to spend any of our fiat on more bitcoin. I have on rare occasion did something sly to get a little more. Now when I try to sit him down, he knows how much my BTC is worth, and the pressure to sell from him starts up.The main issue is actually the amount of time that I spend tending to my BTC and Alts on the internet. Reading, fiddling with code. He hated Candy Crush and BONIC just as much when it took my time away from him.
ABout the richness... Maybe it won't make you rich... but try make it at least a sum that could change anything in your life.
True, the yield on it has been vastly better than my 401K.
Btw, some people consider that money is for spending. I think the money is for BEING ABLE to spend it. YOu are only able to spend money that you haven't already spent. Money gives freedom, spent money doesn't. Unless you know you only have like a few months left.....
True, even if I only have a few month left, at least the BTC will be able to pay for the funeral expenses right now. One less burden for my partner, if he can figure out how to liquidate the BTC.
Yes, it is way cheaper on the long run... unless you become one of those guys that buy everything that comes out and vape the most expensive gourmet liquids. I buy my stuff from china (
www.fasttech.com), my liquids too at around $12 for 100ML, and only sometimes buy some of those gourmet overpriced liquids at local stores just for the heck of it.
Oh, and you can pay fasttech with BTC.
Maybe that is the best purchase you could do with BTC (besides a hardware wallet) and then either save all the money not spent in smoking or reinvest it on BTC.
For your first purchase I would maybe suggest you go to a local SPECIALISED store for their advice and all even if that means paying their overprice. From that point on you can go with fasttech and make the savings rain on you.
As for the heritage thing, well, it seems he is a non believer so maybe that's why he doesn't pay attention to your explanations. I have made provisions not just for LIQUIDATE, but instead for just spending from it using debit cards, etc.... I mean, how to use it for spending without having to liquidate.
Maybe you could come to an agreement in which he is fine with you buying your vaping stuff with BTC and reinvesting in BTC what you save in smoking? At the very least he will be happy you quit smoking and you will be happy with your newfound freedom for investing in BTC what previously was a spending in the most harmful possible way.
