t is the ultimate marshmallow challenge. Many of us have lowered our time preference so much we are just not going to let go of much even when it does go up quite a bit.
For me personally the formula revolves around comfortable retirement and a little diversification into property. I just don't want to spend much money on stupid shit, or even living large. And I am acutely aware that the longer I wait the more I will be left with in the end.
That is where the real crux is, in my opinion. Where that point is for each whale/minnow.
You sir, are very wise. Anyone not following a similar recommendation/approach is going to end up with massive regrets before they die. I see so many here joking about blowing their bitcoin "winnings" on fancy cars, frivolous shit and such, and inwardly I know some of them aren't really joking. Except it wasn't Wekkel that said this, it wad cAPSLOCK... Wise words nonetheless...

Regarding frugality: once you go frugal, it is difficult to come back...everything looks darn expensive, causing buyer's remorse. On the other hand, giving descendants a 50-100 year rein in luxury-why bother? Nothing productive comes out of it, typically.
As for how much to pass on to your kids, Warren Buffett once offered a good rule of thumb: the perfect amount to leave to your kids, he told Fortune in 1986, is "enough money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing." Source: CNBC Make It

Source: CNBC Make ItThat's very nice and I agree. As a side note; for some kids what is ""enough money so that they would feel they could do anything" is actually "enough to do nothing", but i digress. Typically, though, $1 mil will probably be about right.

Think about what you really want and what makes you truly happy . To not die; to not age; to experience continuous growth (not in the pituitary gland/gigantism way...) You could try vampirism... Don't do things to make others happy In my experience when you do something solely to make someone else happy it makes you unhappy and bitter. It can destroy that relationship and result in a bad situation for both people. You resent that person for making you feel like you had to sacrifice your choice or happiness to help them obtain theirs or their perception of you. It usually backfires and creates a worse situation. For example... a father pressures his son to following in his family's footsteps as a doctor when what the son really wants to do is be a software developer. The son begins down the path of schooling and requirements to become the doctor his father always wanted him to be. One day the son realizes he is truly unhappy in this career and choses to follow his passion of software development. He drops out of school and his father is angry at him for the wasted time, money, and for not achieving the "ideal career path". The son resents his father for the same reasons as well as himself for never following his own passion. Sometimes you just have to be you and stand up for yourself. Being "selfish" is often looked at as a negative term... let's refer to it as self-love then. Doing something to make someone else happy because it also makes you happy is a different thing...

Source: CNBC Make ItWhich is a stupid statement/decision btw. I mean, If I were given a few million dollars without having ever made any effort maybe I would probably just settle on that and just do nothing but "live comfortably". But... if I were given one of the biggest fortunes in the world, I would probably focus on both trying to be the #1 and change the world for the better. YMMV. He should better focus on educating their heirs to go on with his "project" when he is gone than just thinking about how much resources he should left them as if that was more important than the former. Or put rules on the usage of those resources. That being said, it will be nice if he leaves the most of it to charity....

I always liked the idea of being "a well off person" and being able to leave a large amount of money for my kids in a special account. They wouldn't know about it until they were maybe 35. The hope is that they would spend the first 35 years of their life working and grinding through this thing called life. After gaining access to life changing money at 35 they would then know what it is like to live without it therefore, creating a deeper meaning and understanding of the windfall. At least in theory...

wonder what price ill wake up to. might have to break my tradition of not checking the price till after ive caught up on the WO.
well apparently i was rich when i started reading the WO this morning (5 pages behind or so) but by the time i caught up and actually checked the price im poor again. maybe rich by noon? I try and skim over pages personally, just stopped off to look at the odd graph and read a comment that interests me. Otherwise, I lose too much money with the current volitility Where are all the rockets in this thread that were promised? I thought we made new ATH on all exchanges today? Disappointed. Waiting for $20k - ATH was too easy. Damn you're right, it was $20K for the rockets I remember now. I guess that makes sense. An ATH without $20K does seem a bit lacking.

Not sure if 35 years has any meaning, or maybe 20, or it depends, or whatever. It's all just factors. Also not sure if it would be better if they knew or not. Maybe by the time they reach 35 they have been so burned by life that it wouldn't make any difference.... but merit for at least having had some thoughts about it. It's surely a very complex thing and probably there's no better or right thing. Surely one subject where every Mileage Might Vary, and even then no certaintity.

Don't do things to make others happy Each to their own, but that sounds FU. Guess he meant "Don't do things only to make others happy". Which is just a little better, on a second thought.

It was just about this point in the last cycle that we were hoping to breech 1k again. Just 4 years ago. Actually less.
Later in the last cycle 1k CANDLES we a thing.
In this cycle we are looking to breech 20k this time.
Can you imagine 20k candles?

I take as default scenario that Bitcoin will longer around these levels for a while while indicators cool off a bit. And then, after a few weeks of rest and pounding the bottom range, a decisive break upwards. That does not mean that ATH won’t be breached in the meantime. I am saying so because from a technical perspective the momentum indicators are starting to show fatigue. But on the other hand: Bitcoin tends to surprise us. Big Time

Because drawing triangles on 15m candles makes so much sense. Also the volume is very sad...
