I think the sovereign among us under value the effects of sound money and its affects.

Just as the NGU undervalue sovereignty. Its both. They are connected.

Totally. It's all connected - less spending, less consumerism, less low quality products. Fascinating what hard money can change.

I support this.

Not totally unrelated story, in the street I grew up in, there was an old lady living alone in a decrepit house who was known to be seen begging in the streets at times. When she died, they found the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash in her house, where nobody would have expedted as much as a solid plate.

Some bitcoiners strike me this way, the "if you have a frame for your mattress, you're short bitcoin!" types. While you're starting out stacking, fine. but later.. what the hell is wrong with these people? What good is it to hold on to everything and die with a stack worth a million in fiat while living off of crumbs? I would agree that's it a bad idea to spend ALL your bitcoin, but there's a line you should be comfortable to draw down to.

You can view it as thanking yourself for making some really good decisions a few yeras back, and also a way to fight the anxiety that "you might need it ALL tomorrow!"

get rid of "retirement accounts." eat the tax bill, if u don't yet know how to unsubscribe from taxable accounts. it's all fake monopoly promises. put all into bitcoin under ur control. u'll see, this is the way. the feeling is great!

I sure did. I'm not convinced, though. With no income, I'd have to repay the loan with another loan. And I think bitcoin is still too volatile for that.
