Assholes fucked with the wrong guy.

My experience: You can only be worried about money if you have money you don't want to lose, for any reason.
No money, no worries (about money).
No woman, no cry.

Money well gives you security, which again, is not happiness. Well, maybe happiness is sometimes dependent on security. But it's not the same at all.

You have to realize that your personal experience does not apply to the whole population.
You might not get happier if you get rich, but the majority of people do, as shown by science, and me.

In this one you are simply wrong I'm afraid.

Still, it's not the money that makes you happier. It are the things it buys you, aren't they?
So i stand by my point, people get happier if they get rich, because they know how money makes them able to buy things that make them happy.
BUT many things make you happy only for a short time. So people want "more happy", buy more things. The old supercar isn't super anymore? No problem, buy a new one. Enjoy it until you see the next, even more super supercar. The moment you know there is a better one you want to have, you're unhappy (about still having the old one).

Not sure about this. Wasn't freedom what we were looking for? The "fuck you" level?

There's a lot of unseen continuous costs coming with "things", be it a house, a car, a laptop or a TV: taxes, storage room, subscriptions, memberships, repair and maintenance etc.

Buying more things is not the right way of maintaining fuck you level, mate.

After all this hodling and determination for years and years to get this virtual money running, are you really going to find happiness in spending your profits on material stuff? Not saying you're wrong or right, only that I have other plans.

(FYI if I'm not mistaken, the true meaning of "No woman no cry" is actually "No woman, don't cry")

Absolutely right imo.
I actually don't believe that things make people happier, i just presented an explanation of a common misinterpretation (of money making people happy) to Arrie.
So, freedom from money and from the need to earn-to-survive also creates happiness. This is closing the circle for me. Thanks for pointing to the freedom aspect.

On "no woman"... From Patwah (Patois) it would be valid to be interpreted as "no woman, don't cry", too. Too bad Bob (Marley) can't be asked anymore about this.

It's not a misinterpretation, its the honest to god truth, money DOES make you happy!! It's that simple.

... money cannot buy you happiness, don't buy into the lies of mammon.

... economic security can make your life less miserable, there's a difference

Yes it can, don't buy into the lies of the hippies.

guys fuck you money status (to me), means this:
1-own safe, nice place you call home
2-own other things you want, maybe sailboat to get supplies to bring to your home
3-have supplies (food, medical, essentials) to live

So however bitcoin needed for that, maybe its a nice little self sufficient shack, maybe not.
THEN
those 3 things need to be 100% paid off, but they cost money each year, every year.  So you need a certain amount that once invested/interest bearing covers all of those costs.  If all this costs 50 000 usd a year in taxes, maintenance, supplies, etc (remember it needs to be all paid off), and a safe investment bears 3% interest.  Right now you would need about 35 Bitcoin equivalent.

Then you have fuck you status because whatever happens in the world - war, pandemic, aliens, nocoiners revolution - you can never, ever, ever lose your assets or your way of life.  ever.  Everything else you do in life is literally "fuck you" because all the risk of basic material human life has been taken away and gone to 0.  This is very, very, very difficult to achieve and even people with literal tons of money don't achieve it.

edit:  so when central banks load up on bitcoin ?

chop chop 45k gogo

I was puzzled, why would they saw of just a small piece and then kill the engine? But then I noticed the number on the back pocket and realized that it's a competition.

Is Binance gradually becoming a drama queen? One release too many...

They are changing their wallets all the time, including where to find them. Last time I was gonna refill my card I couldn't find the spot wallet, it's now under the little head in the upper right corner.
I wish they would just stop moving things around and stop renaming them.

Another gourmet dinner.

nice to see someone else with a super cheap china phone. They do their job and cost only a tenth of the fancy ones.

In other news, Bitcoin hashrate is finally recovering from the pit of despair.

Agree! I never understood people who buy expensive phones, what's the point? and also, I can be clumsy at times so I really need a phone that I can drop and submerge without any problems, and why buy a Cat or the likes when this one works just as well?
Now I can put that money in btc instead.

Pretty much the same reason I drive old cars, no tax and cheap as hell to fix if they break down.

Somewhere in the distant future I might buy fancy and new stuff just because I don't feel the need to invest all my money anymore, but not now.

Tied up in a legal dispute all week with a neighbor contesting my official signed and stamped survey. Had to retain a lawyer and officially get the Sheriff's Office notified and on-site for a day next week.

How much land is in dispute?

I'm sure you'll win. Modern surveying is pretty accurate. People get funny ideas in their heads about where lines are though.

I lowered my holdings to under 100$ worth of mixed coins on binance.us

I will wait for it before I put serious coin back into it.

I only use it for my card, and I usually transfer 0.01 btc at a time and refill when almost empty.
I don't think it will crash though.

They are literally disputing about 20 feet on a single marker, that is holding up fence construction along a 1/3rd mile border segment.

Offered to buy their property and was shouted down.

Even offered to fix the fence at my expense, if they provide me a valid, signed and stamped survey that contests mine.

They are refusing to let me proceed until they have time to get their own survey (A pointless waiting tactic that I've had enough of)

Lawfare it is.
