It took Orange Man and her feeling pretty dejected by the election outcomes to push her over the edge. Bitcoin = the most tangible and visible way to opt out, a vote-of-no-confidence in discretionary monetary policy (but, also, political machinery...).
She has asked tons of questions over the last ~3 months, consumed maybe 5 hours of material and probably thought about bitcoin for something like 50 hours in total. So it wasn't entirely out of the blue.
Still, @siggy47 has a point (#755832): Maybe the circus did some good.
(All zaps will go to her, obviously).
Tell her she's frickin' late.
Greets,
Fabs.
Tell her @Fabs is back! Put your girlfriends on a leash, lol
what's the backhistory here? Basically: who is @Fabs?!
Remember, I'm new here
Just a guy who used to be very active here until he stumbled upon a hobby called sewing, which quickly turned into a passion / obsession and is now consuming me from within... But I'll be back once the dust settles and I've got some "creations" to my name...
The relation / backstory with me and Suave is one that could make you lose some brain cells, proceed on your own responsibility!.. 🥲
let's effing go.
Not attached to my braincells!
Ha! I like this guy.
What kind of things are you sewing?
I'm currently working on my own pouches for my backpack, but plan to offer them for sale once I'm happy with the results.
I'm also going to make items like bottle / canteen pouches, Beavertails et cetera.
See #659206, #660113, #662450 and #670816
@Fabs, wen part 4?
When Fabs goes Thailand. 🌝
👀
It'll be titled "Fab's Harem / Part 1" 🌚😆
wooooah, what a dude.
Fantastic series, LFG my man
Hahahaha.
Notice he came back to respond to a post about someone's girlfriend.
We have created a monster. Cause nobody wants to see Fabs anymore they just want Suave.
🤣😂, can't be an coincidence ain't it.
Regardless, it is nice to see you back on SN.
Aww 🥰
lol, true, didn't notice that, good one!
🌚🌝❤️🔥
I have a similar story to girlfriend, just earlier, last election. My advice is find someone you actually like listening to and focus on that, rather than trying to spread your interest too thin and get overwhelmed with choice. For me, that was Alex Gladstein at first, so I just listened to any podcast he went on. Then it was dergigi. And once I began to understand more, and locate my special interests within bitcoin, I could take in more things.
Ask her, is she buying Bitcoin to have more dollars?
Boom. Exactly
that is the litmus test, isn't it!
🫡
Thankfully, my wife doesn't have too much inclination towards any form of money. I don't know why? I never dare ask her. She's more spiritual and religious, maybe. But after the birth of our first kid, I've seen some changes in her stance. Mey be she's taking more interest now because she's on a leave. Every now and then she asks me a few questions regarding what is Bitcoin and how it works as money. She isn't so much technically sound but she seems to understand the basics. I told her that I'll be putting aside a percentage of our Bitcoin for our kid and she accepted. I was surprised for before the birth she used to talk a lot about managing a recurring fiat deposit in bank.
is "got off zero" a common phrase for starting to own bitcoin? I haven't heard it
yep!
The extreme version of that is "get on zero" which, confusingly, means to use zero fiat (=live entirely on bitcoin)
cool- thanks!
The SN version of "get on 0"
bruh i'm pretty close to 0. most posts I was making were 100 sats then I posted in the health category and didn't notice it was 1,000 when I posted.... Not worth those sats
Yeah there's a few with post fees much higher than the others.
They can be changed by founders on a whim, so it's a good habit to always double check the cost.
Thanks- lesson learned for sure, and I've got sats I can used to refill. Appreciate the people throwing some sats my way too
Can she speak with my wife please? Whenever the topic comes up she has two words. SELL IT!
HA!
I mean, we'll see how it goes. She's hodled for a sum total of 11 hours...
Does your wife understand how fiat money works?
No
She likes property and property has pretty much only gone up for the last 10 years I'm Australia. I think this is why I haven't been able to convince her even though Bitcoin has obviously out performed.
I'm based in NZ and the same close to blind faith belief in property is widespread here too. It is understandable as property has been mostly going up since 1990 when interest rates peaked at close to 20%. The steady decline in the price of debt has seen people (keenly assisted by banks) pump up property prices with debt leveraged finance. The constant inflation of property prices has resulted in a near universal belief that the price inflation will continue- but with interest rates now trapped in a low range that is unlikely. However my motto is only invest in Bitcoin if you understand fiat (98% of the population doesn't) and want to be part of the peaceful revolution to build an alternative.
She got the price she deserved and welcome to the club!
She's a keeper, lucky you.
I would like to think so:)
Good for her!
My only advice is to keep learning more about it and keep looking for ways to stack those sats.
So basically she should get on SN. That would also make this place less of a sausage party. 👀
Every thoughtful person should get on SN.
there are no girls on [stacker.news]
The safest policy is still "If a beautiful woman wants to talk to you about bitcoin, you should block him."
misgendering, how dare you?!
I really do want to get to know you, me and my Nigerian princess gals
Exactly, we're in need for some buns!
And that's why this place is a sausage fest~~
You think?
My wife just uses Bitcoin as a savings account. She converts a bit of fiat every couple weeks to Bitcoin.
sweeeet
this is the way like they say on reddit ;)
Always try to have more Bitcoin than you did the previous month.
that is wonderful advice
That is their typical behavior after watching a real circus. Although politics is the craziest circus of them all. I don’t blame her for being orange pilled. This is way better than Keynesian level stagnation.
indeed
I dont know. We wont know the effects until later.
Tell her: “welcome to the future”
My brother was reluctant for years. I didn´t talk to him about bitcoin anymore because he would always get annoyed. But yesterday he finally came around and asked for my advice. I was happy to set him up. Perfect timing! One day later: BOOM, new ATH
I sincerely think that we all have the opportunity to wake up from the fallacy of the system to know that fiat money is the degradation of currency and money itself and that Bitcoin is the only refuge we have and that we must continue working and staying humble to continue accumulating many sats, satellites for it. Bitcoin is the future.
