The only comfort I want is knowing that I'm not going to fall into the fire under my ass. I don't want a life free of fire.
This is awesome -- I'm going to steal it.

It's no small thing to figure out how much fire is the right amount, though.

I’ve seen people without any of it, as I’m sure you have, so that’s not the right amount at least.
I like a lot of it. I want to be cooking, but that’s probably not optimal for very long either.

How long have you been cooking? That would give a sense of scale.

Since moving to Austin ~4 years ago, I was boiling until we raised a bit of money. Now I'm simmering again. I think you can simmer indefinitely. And I think you can sustain a rolling boil for a couple years if you're confident you'll escape it.
If I had enough wealth and didn't want to dowse the fire, I'd probably try to put it into a trust. Bitcoin is like a poor man's trust.
