Why don’t you lease a boat for 18 months?  

https://www.boatbureau.com/boat-rentals-thailand/

Maybe you can do some sort of long term deal because those are silly short term prices.

Buy when the market bounces back.  

Any time I've checked out boat rentals you can usually buy the boat for about 4 to 6 months of rental.

I'm planning on buying a cheap $10k small boat now then buy something better later. It just needs to float and get me 12 nautical miles. We're also in high season here so all the boat prices are more expensive.

Always buy boats AFTER high season. ANyways $10K is cheap enough to not deserve much consideration I guess.

Heh. It's literally a grab in the pocket. Was not always so.

We ought to make sure not to forget how things used to be, or at least could have been. If we really are the new 1%, then that comes with obligations. Let's not misuse our newfound power.

Looks to me like there are already those picking up the current 1%'s attitudes.

I bet the sociologists love this thread.

It can be boring in periods of sideways price action but there are some clued up posters in here, some good chart analysis but best of all when we’re in an epic bull run this place is great

The memes, the happiness is really something.

Here’s to the next epic bull run, probably 6-12 months after the next halvening

You have sunk to the low levels of scheduling our next bull run.      I am sad.

Come on JJG, pull up a stool. I’m waiting for you at the bar

True... I am just giving you a bit of shit about your scheduling of our next "epic."     

By the way, I don't want to be party poop, but even though I agree with your that there are really decent odds that the next epic is going to take place on or before your scheduled timeframe.. (probably odds in the 60% arena..), I hope that you (and everyone else) are (is) psychologically and financially prepared in the event that it does not happen?

So what's the deal with Coinbase limits? I logged in after a while and I'm limited to $200 per day transfer from my bank account.

I have everything verified. How do I request an increase?

I just checked my pro.coinbase.com limits. No change. Still... large.

On the upper right pulldown, there should be a link to the 'Limits' page. On that page is a link:

"To be considered for higher withdrawal limits, please request to increase limits."

While that takes you to a form specifically for withdrawal limits, it has a free-text box where you could conceivably clarify your request. Might be a quicker route than support@coinbase.com.

I have my own business, I’m comfortable (not rich) financially. I just see bitcoin as my way out of you know what I mean.

My way out of having a mortgage, running my business, employing people, working 7 days a week.

I’ll be fine if bitcoin doesn’t moon but I’ll be a hell of a lot happier if it does.

For the record - My savings (net worth) is much more bitcoin than fiat heavy. I know it’s stupid but it’s a risk I’m willing to take.

We're in a similar boat. I'm the General Manager of our family business. I make good money, am largely my own boss, etc. However, it still sucks. It's work, can be stressful, the hours can be long, and it is definitely not how I would be spending most of my time, given the choice.

Also, my BTC bags are much heavier too. The way I see it, when BTC explodes again, I retire. Or it doesn't, and I have to keep being a working stiff til I'm 62+, like everyone else.
If my bags were primarily in fiat and other investments, I would be working til I'm 62+ anyway. And then if Bitcoin exploded, I'd just have a slightly more comfortable retirement.

The way I see it, I'm betting a bit of possible retirement comfort for the opportunity to retire 20+ years earlier. Seems like a reasonable bet to me.

Our situations sound close to identical info. I’m in my early 30’s, I’ve always hated structure, always had a bit of a sense of entitlement. I really don’t want to work until my 60’s but I will if I have to.

I think everything will be OK though, bitcoin will moon & we’ll all be laughing.

I think so too. Looking forward to the 100K party already.

That is not a fucking yacht, that's a cruiser or a warship or a titanic.  

This one is a yacht:



And this one:



All I want in this life is a fine sailboat (Bavaria or something similar, no need to be  any bigger than 45ft., I feel like 36ft would do just fine for me.) and enough time to explore the world. I can get the damn thing right now but I don't have the time. Still gotta work. :/

[DeathAngel]

I do love the look of all these yachts, I just want a huge house & a holiday home plus a couple of fast cars though. Having a yacht seems so much hard work.

Any way - patiently waiting for moon time!

Anyone in the first world who got a STEM degree in the last 100 years, and is otherwise employable, has had no problem finding a high paying job. I'd wager the same will be true for the next 50 years, anyway.

If you didn't go to college, or received a bachelor's degree in something useless, like psychology or art history, then you're obviously in for a rougher ride. And that's all on you.

This is obviously not true because I just quoted employment stats for engineers in Canada the other day and it was like 30% employment for new grads.  Going into STEM doesn't guarantee you jack shit now.  I guess you can make the excuse for such abysmal stats that their jobs were all shipped to China or something, and that everyone needs to apply 2000% tariffs to all Chinese goods to fix it, but it's what the current situation is.

As for the nature of capitalism, capitalism is just a synonym for natural selection.  The purpose of natural selection is basically for the strong to kill off the weak, or encroach upon their territory and resources, exploit them, starve them to death.  In a collective arrangement known as a nation, knowing what the purpose of capitalism is, do you think anyone would actually choose pure, anything goes, unadulterated capitalism if the results were giant swathes of the population agreeing to be economically exterminated or enslaved?  80% or higher of the population?

All the jobs being outsourced to China, India, or wherever through global labor arbitrage is about as capitalistic as it gets.  This is capitalism - monopoly men and middlemen exploiting and killing off everyone.  A nation is a type of collective agreement, typically always between an ethnocentric collective - because all non-ethnocentric nations collapse.  If people are coming together to create any type of collective or rules based game, they're typically NOT going to agree to play one with such bad results.

The purpose of a nation is for ordinary, valuable, or contributing members of that society to survive, not to try and kill them off on purpose.  This is how systems like national socialism from the Nazis arise, because capitalism isn't even possible if you're going to have any form of national government.  The second you create any form of national govt that can impose it's will on everyone, capitalism is over.  You can either have pretend capitalism, which is just going to be some klepocratic, crony capitalistic, too big to fail monopolies that are your new slave owners, or you can have national socialism where instead of the government making all public policy based upon "what is good for the crony capitalism corporation", policy is based upon "what is good for the common white man".

It sounds extreme, but the vast majority of nations already practice some form of this, because like I said, pure, unadultered capitalism doesn't have a very viable conclusion.  The breakup of monopolies I would consider a national socialist ideal.  The govt stopped doing so because it drifted away from national socialism and the greater good of white people towards crony capitalism.  Free enterprise and everything else would still exist as well, just not to the extreme detriment of the whole.
