I've thought about that: Quit job and be a consultant again. First class airfare, full expenses, and whatnot were kind of fun in the days. But I would rather not be chained to some company that is just taking a percentage. Thoughts on breaking into that line of business? (The answer is make money the old fashioned way friend: MINE IT!)

I'll keep my job a little more. That (block)chain ( ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ) you talk about, although it does not have any more power on me, is still up in the air.

As is a hooker in a brothel. Not quite what I am looking for. Edit: I have met a number of hookers in McCarrin airport in Vegas on Sunday. All have first class tickets, TSA/Pre, and amazing Freq Flier plans. All were also very happy with their work and situation and all would wear the frumpiest clothing for comfortable travel with their little bags. So I should take more care to denigrate that profession.

This is clearly as high as bitcoin will ever get, basically. Maybe just a little bit higher because there are people who haven't realized this is a failed experiment, but that's it. 1 bitcoin will absolutely never be worth $50k. $100k? LOL, no.
What'd I tell you guys? That was the last ATH bitcoin will ever see. People are finally waking up to how much of a failure this project is. Here, if bitcoin gets over GDAX ATH of $11,485, I'll give the the first person to quote me here the last of my bitcoin, which is 0.1 BTC. Quoted Noted As stated, I made a special paper wallet for this ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) 1EM8JhDPsvX8maD552WCRvefyyChDcHeE2 Here is the "special one" Now ... get the fuck on the ball Proudhound, and pay your drama queen bills. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) Paid my bills ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I urge erre to sell what I sent, of course, as bitcoin is clearly in the final gyrations of total failure. Respect to anyone who stands by their word, even if they proclaim really crazy shit. I mean really Proudhound, you could not truly believe what you are saying, even though you happen to have .1BTC to give away to back up your supposed conviction....

Yeah, I was exaggerating a little. But even 20% sux. Just giving the govt money that they didn't risk anything for, didn't earn and don't deserve to steal from you.
Depends. They pick up my garbage, maintain the roads I drive on to and from the Postal Orifice, jail people I consider criminals, and some other stuff. So there is that. And certain governments seem to be in a tax cutting give money to the rich mood so this may change..... Or start donating money to senators and legislators. They seem to like money. And booze. Also, why the hell would anyone sell bitcoin so casually, when it has the potential to double or triple in year? Or hell, in a month or two like we've seen recently? Even the best performing stocks take decades to do that.

About theymos advice: I still don't get it. Why does he care? and what does he know about the fact that
Probably figured out no matter how much time you spend working on them, it's not actually possible to create a decentralized digital currency, rendering every single cryptocurrency released as having zero fundamentals, and thus having no value. So all we're dealing with here are pump and dumps of inherently valueless, toxic assets. The Jew bankers and overlords like Ben Bernanke and Larry Summers only promote them to try and trick people into adopting their cashless society slave grid and to try and prevent people from buying metals where the market is already stretched to the breaking point.

A splendid good morning ladies and genitalmen of Bitcoinland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DB2alPmdawI see we've had yet another ATH while I was getting the rest of my beauty sleep... currently $11764USD/$14923CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Old coins total $13710USD/$17392CAD each (Coinmarketcap). Hopefully quadruple digits are a thing of the past now. Onward and upward. Go Bitcoin go. Proudhon is Satoshi keeping us on our toes ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Lulz. For him to toss a g-note like he was throwing a penny in a beggar's cup, I can only imagine how much his real Bitcoin stash earned him this past week.

Even the best performing stocks take decades to do that.
a) I sell to meet expenses and taxes. All part of running a business. b) The utility value of happiness. For b: Happiness is a utility factor in my view, and being happy is one of the goals in life overall. Deferring pleasure for a later reward is hard-wired into brains (some better than others) which is fine, but deferring too long means that you miss out on a certain amount of happiness in the years between the gratification points. Thus you need to ask yourself: Is the deferred pleasure of a Lamborghini next year so much more than buying a nice used Porsche this year to replace your POS car? If so, save. But the utility fun factor of a car has limits, a Lambo is nicer than a Porsche but how *much* nicer? Nicer enough to wait a year for? Maybe. Likewise with financial security: Once you're driving the Porsche opportunities start to open up in your mind on the way to your wage slave job. Maybe you start refusing that stupid promotion because you have tangible wealth and start thinking about being a high value consultant traveling the world on your own terms. Is it worth the added value of happiness to defer that for a year? Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't dump everything, but I would say that time is living's prize and it is the one thing that is dripping away from all of us, one second per second. So if you can increase short term happiness without sacrificing long term I would say sell a bit and enjoy. Besides, maybe it will open up other vistas to explore now in your life as opposed to later. C

So I'm making a holiday bet with an in-law.
I offered to pitch in $200 for the holiday X-mas meal that he is cooking for the family. He also has a poor attitude toward Bitcoin.
So instead of giving him dollars, I'm going to make him a bet instead just to prove Bitcoin is better. And he loves bets.
The bet will go like this:
1) I give him $200 in bitcoin instead of cash.
2) BUT, he has to hold it until at least Jan 1st, 2019 and cannot sell no matter the price action.
3) If the value of bitcoin falls below $200 by that date, I will give him enough bitcoin to make up the difference in value.
4) If the value of bitcoin stays equal to or rises above $200, he keeps it all and can sell if he wishes.
It's a win-win bet for him. I'm doing this because we need to convert more people to see the power of this new "digital gold".
