Today was a good day

Rick is officially planning his exit/retirement tonight

Please let us know the form of Rick’s retirement announcement.

please do. will it be a "sod off" announcement and split immediately or will he give the traditional two weeks notice (or whatever). personally i gave a few weeks just to ensure a smooth transition to my replacement but not that management cared, they are work to rule (whatever its called). they can fire anyone for no reason and people can quit with no notice. im old school though so did the notice.

I've posted about this before, about "FUCK YOU!" slides in PowerPoint presentations, etc., but I'd never really do it IRL. It's just not me. I'd rarely say FUCK YOU to anyone (in real life or online). Not necessary. I would not drop to their level. If someone deserves to receive such words, I'd let my actions do the talking. As you say, I'd give a few weeks notice, so that the department can prepare and adjust. I'd also offer to help for a while, in case they need something that only I know how to do. Even training my successor, if necessary (with pay, on my terms).

I'd do a big party on my last day at work, all costs on me. The good guys will be happy for me, the haters will end up self-suffering because of their own hatred and envy. It's the universe's way of balancing things...

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 Moon^TM.

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.

It's going to take Rick at least a couple months to transition away cleanly.

Presently looks like he's targeting end of February for retirement, to coincide with a final round of stock vesting.

It'll be done completely above board and professionally.

Right, which you have ample time for and so will cost you far more than if you spent most of your time working.

I also wouldn't get bored, if I had things to do. Just those things generally cost money.

note pulled info from here


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=138109.msg55488187#msg55488187

as I noted in an earlier post
 { https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg55491561#msg55491561 }

 the  best streak of above 12,584

was from 2017-12-06 to 2018-01-15  that was 41 days

so 23 down and 18 to go.

   This will be a really nice streak to break.

  If we stay hot we break the streak on Dec. 2, 2020

so 2020-12-02 here we come.




We also are developing a second streak Nov 1 on is above 13545

we have never had a full month from day one stay above 13000. I for one want to see both things happen.

and we are unfolding a third streak more on that later."




I am quoting and altering my post from yesterday.


I want to talk about the third streak that is opening up.  BTC never had 12 days in a row over 15000

Below is the longest 15k+ streak

2017-12-21  16,033
2017-12-20  16,724
2017-12-19  17,986
2017-12-18  18,634
2017-12-17  19,110
2017-12-16  18,430
2017-12-15  17,334
2017-12-14  16,351
2017-12-13  16,434
2017-12-12  16,854
2017-12-11  16,293.    11 days in a row.


note I get all my stats from the following thread.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=138109.msg1472141#msg1472141

I have been using his data to show these streaks.

So we have 3 streaks going
1) 12854 +. is at 23 days and closing in on the 41 day streak from dec 2017 to jan 2018

2) we have a 7 day 15000+ streak closing in on the 11 day streak from dec 11 2017  to dec 21 2017

3) and our Nov 1 to Nov 12 streak above 13000 is the second longest streak from the beginning of the month above 13000. Jan 1 2018 to Jan 15 2018 is in first place.

update so far so good  as we are now over 16,200

 I will get back to this at night.  We need to keep this up!

Congrats to you both! Achievement unlocked! Even if Bitcoin price will keep surging... you bought TIME which is another (even more) scarce thing.

Now enjoy life with Rick, and also the exciting Bitcoin journey with your remaining stash in the years to come.

Cheers!

[rdbase]

....and yes: poor mindrust!    

You got that right.
Sorry lol

Actually he still active around the forum??

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=176777

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.

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?  

Dear Wise Wall:  How the fuck did this clown get merit source status?
-snipped-
Edit:  Fixed typo.

He has russian connections.
Didn't you know? They run this mutha!

Typo? Oh the world is at an end.

Rick has never posted here.

He has threatened to create an account several times.

Maybe when he retires, finally

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.....

He would get a hero's welcome.  I imagine it could be a little much.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

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

Nice and steady. Go Bitcoin go.

Today was a good day

Rick is officially planning his exit/retirement tonight

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.

Just a scenario .. unlikely, but not impossible

https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD/status/1326948877019324423

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:

Anyway, hyperinflation is ugly.

Grayscale Rakes in More Than $115 Mln in Bitcoin in One Day

https://u.today/grayscale-rakes-in-more-than-115-mln-in-bitcoin-in-one-day

"According to their recent report, in Q3 this year, Grayscale had approximately $1.05 bln in crypto. However, this figure skyrocketed to $7 bln in a short time after that.

In Q3, the company had laid its hands on 77 percent of all BTC mined during that time."

So Barry is the bull whale who has been sucking up everything? Who knew?
