2021                                                                  100%              $43,039

Good God that would be nice to think of. I think I read some story on Twitter the other day, of some OG buying a 52 ft Catamaran, half in BTC and half in cash. Near $850,000 US I think.

Out here in FL relaxing over Thanksgiving with the wife, and seriously thinking of buying some beachfront property after our outing earlier today. Gorgeous weather this time of year. Much nicer than Dallas.

When 1BTC / 52ft Catamaran parity ?

Florida, I knew it! You go for it. Buy it, YOLO.

She is only in $150 now and is up $12.xx something..
Seriously told her it was a gamble and it could just crash.. Tried warning her..

Time to get her ass on this forum so she can start posting choo choo trains!

   Phrasing!

Oops!

Bad idea. Between ocean acidification and sea levels going up Fla is probably the worst real estate to buy. Nice to visit esp the panhandle, but don't live there.

What's Coming To The Bitcoin Core Wallet in 0.21

https://achow101.com/2020/10/0.21-wallets

Not keen on the bit titled Compatibility down the bottom -

Unfortunately, to make progress, sometimes compatibility needs to be broken. Sometimes the past needs to be left behind. As the Bitcoin Core wallet moves to making Descriptor Wallets the default, and later, only, wallet type, a future release of Bitcoin Core will no longer be able to open Legacy Wallets.

https://achow101.com/2020/10/0.21-wallets

(It does go on to say it will be 2023 when the final change is made)

I see no big issue. They explicitly state that it is, and will be, possible to replace a Legacy Wallet with a perfectly equivalent Descriptor Wallet. The bitcoin client comes with tools to do that. In other words, no coin will ever need to move to change the wallet format. I'm sure the whole thing can and will be automated. No big issue indeed.

EDIT Oops, many replies, much more timely. I am catching up, honest! Or maybe I should just jump to the present and keep the gap as it is? Choices, choices...

I don’t wanna jinx it but that dump was pathetic. Is that all the bears have got? Maybe there aren’t many weak hands left in this game because in the past that kind of red dildo, the other day would have caused a domino effect of pathetic weak hands panicking and selling.

We’re currently at $17,713 which is less than a $2,000 dip from the recent yearly high. If we can hold this range for a bit now then we could still see an ATH before New Year.

I dunno about anybody else but I’m bullish AF.

Still on track for moon in 2021.

HODL

But you know what, i have been talking to people about bitcoin since like $300, so I almost wish I would have been more assertive in the past...

I have always told people that it was just crazy and could go to zero, and nobody has ever bought, but I totally should have told them stfu bitch and buy..
Hindsight is 2020 and things...

“It was just $190 and is now $700??? Sounds like it’s ““TOO HIGH”” Now“
“Yeah man, I should have bought, but it’s like $3500 now.. It’s ““Too high”””
“Wow it went to $20k? I should have bought”
“Bitcoin is ““only”” $4500 now? Lol I thought it was $20k??... Sucker..””
“You should have sold..”

Fuck em..

   None so blind as those that will not see.  I have yet to meet IRL anyone into corn, or any other virtual grain crop.  I got some family to enter, my best friend got himself well set up, and one acquaintance bought $100 worth in the fall of 2013 based on my excited state.  I don't ever discuss it now.  It's better that way, from an opsec perspective.  I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

I wrote a post on Guggenheim fund investing in bitcoin even before PlanB was able to retweet it.
I Think this is a life objective.

   None so blind as those that will not see.  I have yet to meet IRL anyone into corn, or any other virtual grain crop.  I got some family to enter, my best friend got himself well set up, and one acquaintance bought $100 worth in the fall of 2013 based on my excited state.  I don't ever discuss it now.  It's better that way, from an opsec perspective.  I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

The single friend who was mildly interested in crypto chose eth instead of btc (against my hints) in 2017, proceeded to make much paper gains, then most likely invested at least a part of those into zerp at close to ATH, and probably lost all gains. Nobody else had a mild interest. I am not sure who are those 10-20 mil people they say own btc in US. Must be people close to silly valley.

  Any advice on what exchange to use from the USA?  Asking for a backwards, techless  Ozark hick    funding/withdrawal options other than wire transfer?  I thought Kraken would be good, but apparently its easier to use from the North Pole than from within US.

Ah, that's sad to hear. Saw some beautiful properties on the water with boat slips attached, and got us thinking, but I can totally see your POV in terms of being a bad place to live. The place we have now is inland enough that it's spared most of the serious hurricane damage, but technically could flood if things get bad enough.

Will stick to Dallas. We did consider seasonal rentals in FL on the water, but, I like owning things outright.

Oh well. Again, appreciate your insight.

no advice per se but ill give a quick rundown on coinbase as ive used it since 2013 or so. be aware it gets a lot of hate for reasons but it works.

cons:

KYC to the max
they will track the shit outta you.
cant send or receive from any gambling site (pretty sure).
will sell all info they can get on you and your corn to whoever wants it.
site always seems to have "issues" when things get hot and interesting.
thoughtfully sends the IRS a 1099 form in case you forget

pros:

takes yubikey as 2fa
whitelisted withdrawal addys
a vault that time delays coins moving (optional)
links to bank account, and i think debit cards but not sure on that never used debit card there

[NetTime]

coin-baze should be avoided at all costs

Coinbase is good for cash outs.

Always remember if it goes in and out of coinbase it will be tax reportable for a USA citizen.

Gemini is great.   ACH transfers to/from bank account with very high limits.   Has always worked very well for folks (so I am told).   What is a 1099?
