And this is the kind of banker statement that makes me sick. In my opinion, the "then they will fight us" era is still ahead of us.
This is well behind us, they are just doing everything they can to keep the price down while they secretly accumulate. German banks? I ain't so sure about that. Otherwise, i don't know for sure, so...

Otherwise, i don't know for sure, so... Earlier today someone here in WO mentioned a German online bank called N26. The guy later deleted his post... I checked out their website and they seem professional enough and quite welcome to EU clients opening bank accounts online for free. They even provide a Mastercard debit card (virtual card for free, physical card for a one-off shipping cost of 10 €). Sounds interesting for EU citizens if N26 is crypto-friendly, as was implied by the phantom poster.

How about the state takes over the banks as well as currency issuance? "Oh, no, no! We need independent banking system, you can't trust big government"

Today is a big day for me. Thanks to BTC, and partially to you all here, I am debt-free today. I quit my job, and I paid off ten years of debt, now I own my house and a few acres in the clear. My wife and I live fairly simply. Old paid-for cars (that I can fix), no cable TeeVee. A large garden and a small shooting range in the back yard.
I quit smoking cigarettes, and DCA that amount into BTC. Doing this payoff burned a big chunk of the corn, but it is a better thing to do for myself, now. We won't be wealthy, but this is the American dream for me. YMMV.
proud of you brooo (commendable Bitcoin)Damn Michael... do not give bankers a chance to party.

What are we more likely to hit?
$40,000 or $60,000?
I say it’s about 50/50.

I'm a proud carnivore, yet I would gladly switch to synthetic meat when it is similar in taste and cost. There's simply no reason not to.
You don't take nutritiousness into account, or are you merely assuming that if it has a label that says "healthy" then it must be nutritious? I also take various supplements (pills, nuts, seeds, etc.) to meet 100%+ of all 29 USRDA recommended levels of vitamins and minerals. 100% carnivore-only would be seriously lacking in micronutrients, so let's say I'm 99% carnivore. You really could not count yourself as 99% carnivore could you if you are eating hotdogs.. and you also concede nuts and seeds, which may well already bring you down to 95%.. so you might need to go to Proudhon to learn some maths. By the way, I would surely appreciate hearing what kinds of foods you are eating in order to achieve 99% (or maybe 95%) carnivore, and I am not even sure if you need to take supplements if you are eating natural kinds of meats with the fats - although there are some theories about benefits of resistant starches (if you ever heard of that?) to help with the digestion and processing of the foods in the body (gut), and there may also be some benefits with some other non-meat foods to help with digestion and nutrients - such as greens in small quantities - even though may not be absolutely necessary to remain healthy.. not really sure. I am thinking that a lot of time normal people who need supplements would be those who are not eating meat and natural fats (and the natural fats are key.. not bullshit processed fats which can be quite misleading concerning their purported benefits).. vegetarians come to mind as some types of lifestyles that likely need supplements.. or maybe even vegans.. It would seem quite difficult to get adequate nutrients by long term following vegetarian and/or vegan diets, but there might be some systems, just a lot of work..and surely they have advocates that spout out the vegetarian and vegan nonsense.. .. by the way, @dude, are you off that shit, yet? But if you eat natural fats with your meat and eggs and fish.. then you might not need much more in your diet besides some resistant starches (and maybe your nuts and seeds might be providing some of the resistant starches.. gotta be careful with some kinds of nuts and seeds and even eating too much of specific kinds might not be exactly good for you - even if you are tolerating them well for periods of time or even in your youth).. and maybe a bit of vegetable ruffage would not really hurt for the processing of the digestion, even though I am not even 100% (or even close to 99%) sure that there might not be some benefits to including some non-meat items in your diet. And, your quick acquiescence to agreeing to switch to man-made meats (based on "taste and costs"... now cost is a way to lure people into eating near pure shit - as long as it tastes good) causes me to question your judgement in other respects to dietary discussions - because surely, just on the face of the matter, I would question the nutrient value of man-made meats - but I would not question the ability of creators of such products to bring down the cost or to make it taste/texture as if it were the real deal - when it's not... like eating hotdogs.. but "better for you".. yeah right?

Dude, you leave this WO for 2 days, you're fugged. How the hell am I going to read all this up? Shouldn't we like have one of us writing a daily conclusion every day of the week, and the next week someone else takes it over etc. On the other hand, sometimes looking at the charts is sufficient to have a general idea about what has been said and written.

Good to hear, brother. Congrats on meeting and possibly exceeding your target (you still have some BTC I presume). Regardless, you've met your target, and while your target may seem too mundane/plain/simple for many, I'd say that this is a target worth having. Setting the right target for one's life is a very difficult thing. For me, having an overly extravagant lifestyle, Lambos, hookers, blow and all that, seems so futile and pointless... Maybe the "hookers" part is OK sometimes. Of course, to each their own. Another important point in your post is being debt-free. This is the most important for me. IMHO, owing anything to banks/people/whoever is the single most stressful thing in life. I've never owed anyone anything. My planning has kept it that way. It's good that you've reached this state. All the very best man, enjoy! Sure, getting rid of debts would be a decent thing to do - or at least to have them in a kind of managing timeline in which you are not necessarily feeling burdened by them or the paying off of whatever remains with them. Sometimes, with certain kinds of debts, it can be a good thing to "work" those debts in a kind of manageable way that enhances your cashflow. Another part that surely needs to be considered is the extent to which both your living within your means is sustainable in terms of accounting for some of the increases in costs that are likely to come in the coming years and also trying to anticipate a variety of expenses that also might mean keeping an ongoing emergency fund or money that is kept or stashed away in an emergency fund for the emergency(ies) that are likely to be inevitable, even if you might not know their exact nature at the time of maintaining such a system. Ever since I got into bitcoin, I have maintained a kind of fund that I take from my regular cashflow that is allocated towards investing in BTC, however if cashflow is short in any particular month, that money does not end up going into BTC, it is either used for the extra expenses or rolled over into the next month for a bit of extra reserves. So, depending on how erratic are your expenses, would depend on how BIG of a cushion you would like to maintain. For example, when I was young and had hardly any expenses, I frequently would have a $300 to $500 cushion of cashflow on a monthly basis, but as I developed greater complications including keeping a business afloat that had some erratic cashflows, my monthly extra cashflow cushion had to go up to $2k, and sure I have had times of floating this extra monthly cashflow around, and even during times of travel, the $2k cushion seems to work out much better than anything sub $1k - even though ongoingly I end up having an extra $1k in dollars every month that is NOT really working for me except creating piece of mind that I have that extra cushion there. I guess that I am just saying, in respect to nanobtc, that he seems to be feeling a certain level of tightness in his budget but at the same time some optimism that his budget is going to be sufficient, and those kinds of considerations are surely ones that he has thought through including an appearance that he has discussed those with his wife, too. So, surely no one really wants to have to go back to work and earn some extra money if they do not have to, but surely some people will consider that earning some extra money is not necessarily out of their grasp in the coming years, either, that is if they feel they have to and they might even feel some amount of liberty that they can choose which work that they would like to do on such a part time basis rather than being stuck in a full time JOB.
