Blue pill, or red pill ?

Both?

Finding it difficult to concentrate at work

me too

Yeah, this is getting nutty. Waking up to almost 6600 bitcoin is a bit odd.

As for spending vs. saving.... Maybe buy a few little dreams to enjoy in the now (remember life is short, and dreams deferred till next year are dreams that you can only enjoy for one less year in your life) and space those out while the back end money continues to grow.

But yeah, I think most people have a sell point ($300, $650, $1,000, $5,000) where they dump. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it crashes. Then other people buy in at that level and ride the next elevator either to the sky or to the bottom of the sea.

Bitcoin... seems weird. Odd that Litecoin is just sitting there...

Yep, it is bit of a problem. It's difficult to concentrate when dollar and euro are collapsing at such a pace.

This.
Two things: either I quit or they fire me for good. In the end it's up to us. Do we feel we can really be gentlemen living on Bitcoin magic money?
I planned to decide by the end of the year but Bitcoin does not care about my plans

I bet all those chumps who paid half a bitcoin for some bud from
Alpha Bay last year are kicking themselves about now...

Can never regret having fun.

Just like paying 10,000 bitcoin for 2 large papa John's pizzas.   When btc was worth much less than a penny.

Finding it difficult to concentrate at work

Same problem. Well today is a holy day so no problem, but since this summer, and it has worsened recently, I care less and less about my job.

During the summer I had decided that I needed my BTC stash to be worth a certain amount of euros, then, considering how I'm able to grow that stash, I could quit my job and live off the earned BTC. I thought this could happen in the middle of next year at the earliest, but today it has happened.

It would not be reasonable to quit my job right away, but I can't see myself continuing for years, that's for sure.

a new scripting lang for btc

SegWit introduced script versioning so maybe they will be able to deploy Simplicity using that -- which means without a hardfork. But I guess the jury is still out on that one, otherwise they would have explicitely mentioned that in the whitepaper.

::sigh::  People think weird stuff.   The paper does not talk about Bitcoin integration in any detail, as it is massively premature for that.


But adding a new script system is a softfork, it's always been a softfork. It's pretty much the most softforky thing you can imagine, and moreover it's already been done before!  P2SH replaced Script with a nested copy of Script..  In that case the nested thing was the same as the outer thing, but there was no technical reason it couldn't have been different.

Ah ah, I'm a bit on the same boat, but getting fired in my country is quite difficult. I'm more likely to get improvements in my work conditions and salary than being fired.

On the flip side I'd like to buy a house, because that's what I've always wanted, and I have enough of fiat/fiat based assets to put down a 50% downpayment, however in this country there is no way I'm getting a mortgage without a stable job.

Then, I'm thinking, do I even want to stay here ?

Life became quite a bit more complicated since this summer...

sure did. some of us will be richer than banks any minute

<= hence my motto thingie over there, 'be a bank'.

it's no longer just a matter of doing your own transactions safely and in real money

and soon some of us will be richer than nation states

they will be coming to us for capital

Or, you could buy more of that coin with your bitcoins, if you feel inclined.

[Arriemoller]

So, I bought a little today, and immediately bitcoin stalled. Sorry guys.

I'm in the same boat as you, presently.

My hoard passed the "Fuck You" money-level a few months back and since then I've been really starting to question a lot of things about life. "Why am I not enjoying life when I have more than I could responsibly spend in my lifetime ? I'm completely debt free, Thank God."

Going to hold out for three more stock vesting cycles and then make a decision late in the summer about retiring a year earlier than planned.

At the end of the day, I still do enjoy the work I do, find it mostly gratifying, and still am learning quite a bit in my old age. It's... ((( them ))) that make things unenjoyable and aggravating with social politics in my work environment.

It's all about perspective I guess.

I know I'm retiring "soon", just "not yet".

KnowwhatImean ?

Exactly, let´s go to Hawaii, and learn surfing. Fuck them all ! You´re just fucking around a little more . . . We just have to do it !

I´m just taking the piss, but on the other hand, it´s the truth. No ?
