I live where others do vacation. Those "others" are usually peeps who live in IL and are tired of shoveling snow.....not everyone can afford the sunshine tax :)

Naive.

Don't be jealous. And don't beat yourself up over it. Start investing and:

Don't be jealous

Huh? Jealous of what? I'd hit 13% income tax in CA and have to buy a $2M+ house to even come close to my life in IL. Not worth it for some sunny 70's and some bike riding. I'm not 12.

You clearly like burning cash. Honestly a lot of people on this site like burning through a fuck ton of cash to live in CA. I'll live a better life currently, I'll live a better life in early retirement, heck I'll just live a better life. Enjoy CA until you're 70. I'll be in the Caribbean by 48 and retired.

Where have you vacationed though? Or do you just mountain bike? Sounds miserable.

Dont bother buying pizza with your precious digital gold coins! Buy real estate/Pay off mortgages

What's your moon shot price when you cash in and buy some REAL estate?

Enjoy. I've got more. This is all during covid and I've got more. I'm sure Socal is so great. I've been there. I've been to better. Enjoy biking though.

Super bad time at the Westin St. John. Boat with the tallest mast in the middle, Epstein island in the background.

Where did you travel again? Or did you just mountain bike?

Oh yeah, Utah. Forgot about that.

Napoli's Pizza in Benicia or Vallejo. Awesome crust lots of garlic. Bits can't buy pizza.

Lone Peak. Big Sky. This is what men do. This is all in the last year. What did you do?

Shit. Forgot about Mexico.... Let me know what you did with your bitcoin during a pandemic. This is what I did... lol.

Someone had to go on the night shift I guess. Oh well. Just glad I don't have to live in mom's basement and not experience the above photos.... Not sure how one could live like that.

WookieMan says

live in mom's basement and not experience

We're living in a virtual world. Why should money be real?

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are just symptoms of this fucked up system.

Beautiful picture. It's as if I'm there, so maybe now I don't need to go.

I wouldn't go again. That's some real ass snowboarding/skiing. Early season too. Rocky. Glad I did it though. Trying to get out there in March, but I'm not getting on the tram again to get to the top. The kids need dad, lol.

bawahahahahaha

wow, those two triggers hit stronger than I would have expected. Now we just need the right name for it.....BSDS seems fitting.@WookieMan, what do you think?

What were your realized gains from crypto in 2020?

You know better...

FYI, those are legit my photos of travels. Where did you go last year G36? A mountain bike path near your parents home? Show us some fun stuff you did with all those gains. Seriously interested in what a crypto lifestyle is like. Not sure why you'd keep dodging this if life was soooooooo good with crypto.

G36 says

what do you think?

My 2020 during a "pandemic" blew your 2020 out of the water. You've yet to prove otherwise. Even with crypto gains, I'm 100% confident I did better finically given crypto was dead most of 2020. 100%. I had fun. You didn't. That's what I think and it's what you know. lol. You might be able to fill in for that deadbeat comedian Colbert. You're similar.

It's not true that he that dies with the most toys wins, it's he that plays with his toys the most while he is alive that is the winner. We can all win.

Okay, so we agree on the diagnosis.
Next question is, how can we help him?

Sunshine derangment syndrom.....not much I can do here.


Bitcoin derangement syndrome:
I would have him trade his 100 shares of LUV into BTC. At least that gives him some exposure. Any other thoughts?

Onvacation says

It's not true that he that dies with the most toys wins, it's he that plays with his toys the most while he is alive that is the winner. We can all win.

Agreed. I think my photos show that. Looking at a computer screen and trading spreadsheets sounds miserable. And bragging about it not being able to show you had fun or even made money is even worse. Layer on top spamming a mainly non-financial forum showing nothing of gains or fun from anything you're spamming.

I'm just glad I had a better 2020 and know it. It was so good I don't have to worry about the crypto fad 2.0. All during a pandemic. Life is good.

G36 says

Sunshine derangment syndrom.....not much I can do here.

I'm here.




Just because my home base is in IL, doesn't mean I'm there (missed the T). You'll learn some day. I can have homes and vacation for 1/2 the cost to live in CA. Retire dozens of years earlier. Bitcoin though... lol.

Yeah, now that you shared a bit of your circumstances, I understand why you are tried of shoveling snow in IL.



At least you made me appreciate SoCal even more. We sometimes take the beautiful weather and beach for granted. Thanks bud.

G36 says

Lol. You can call them beaches all you want. Some of the shittiest sand on the planet. lol.

The fun part about warm weather is I can go there whenever I want and not live in a communist state with income taxes through the roof. IL is bad, but it isn't touching CA for stupidity. I'm not stupid.

Post a photo of your last trip. Anything. You've got nothing and it's why you've posted nothing. Staying in the same place day after day is insanity and the definition of misery. Enjoy. I know you do, it's all you have to look forward to.

yeah, often you need to see someones misery to understand how good we have it here in SoCal. You see winter doesnt really mean much to us. You can still do your outdoorsy stuff pretty much every day. I would forget about shitty parts of the country if someone wouldnt remind me.

That BSDS is no joke. Glad I got Bitcoin and the sunshine/beach and dont have to deal with BSDS.

G36 says

BSDS

"The Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS) is a descriptive story that captures subtle features of bipolar illness. It does not provide a "yes" or "no" answer to whether or not a patient has bipolar disorder - it addresses the concept of bipolar spectrum."

That explains a lot.

Success is not a destination you arrive at, it's an altitude you fly at. Money, cars, houses, boats, motorcycles, toys, happiness, are just symptoms of success.

I'd say experiences are most important, but agree with the symptoms point you make. I don't want to sit in an over priced shack day after day, in the same place, hoping to get rich or successful all while paying for bloated government that allows shit and needles to fill the gutters in the streets. That sounds like misery to me. I like to explore, show my kids some really cool places and meet awesome people that don't shit in the streets or do hard drugs.

Though we have been subjected to that in CA on trips, so not all experiences are positive. We've got friends all over the country and in the Caribbean and Mexico that we've met on travels. Funny part is not one has ever brought up crypto. While I've done well, I'm personally more happy of my wealth of experiences and what I've shown my kids. Enjoy life, don't worry about numbers... they're holding you back and probably the reason many are where they're at in life, chasing. Someone smarter conned you, you just don't know it yet. Never have regrets. No single place on the planet is that great to piss your life away in or an investment.

Either way, bragging about the price of a spreadsheet and not being able to show the experience of that supposed awesomeness is pretty telling. I've always wished you guys luck as I'm a decent human. But I'll try to back off on these crypto threads as the "shit mutt" (WTF is that anyway). My worry is you'll bankrupt others, but who am I to try and stop you. I can rest my head on my pillow and know I at least tried and I didn't screw others over.

It fits perfectly. I can picture him shoveling snow in front of his apartment right now.

I can picture him shoveling snow shit from in front of mom's apartment right now in Socal.

Couldn't resist. Correction made.

Don't forget the needles and the bloated government you're being fleeced for. I guess I'm not surprised you have to chase get rich quick schemes. 20% is taken off the top before you even start... lol. My returns beat yours before I've even invested a USD.

@WookieMan
Does the HOA not help with the snow shoveling? I can see why that is upsetting.

Bad day for the BSDS.....

Bitcoin at 37k, Ethereum at 1.6K and perfect weather in Socal.

Why in the flying fuck would you rely on an HOA! LOL! Men can take care of their own property. Don't need a group of fags to decide what I do with my property. You keep bringing in great insight to the conversation about yourself. Lol.

G36 says

no on HOA!

bummer. So i understand why you are getting so upset about the weather. Sry bud.

So we're clear, Bitcoin is an elaborate Ponzi scheme that requires new money in for old money to get out.

And you can't have gains until you sell.

Onvacation says

So we're clear, Bitcoin is

36k,

yep



great buying opportunity!! Ethereum will do great too....it was at 700 in December and has already doubled....its at 1.6k today! Dont miss out on the precious coins.

Ahh, the smell of Eth...
