Where would you be if you hadn't gotten into bitcoin? \ stacker news ~AskSN

Well I had my own business before. I sold it in early 2022. I don’t think I would have made the leap and completely change my lifestyle from a city dwelling, fiat chasing, workaholic to a small town living, semi retired, stacker news and family time aholic without finding bitcoin.

What type of business?

35 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby 12h

Facilities maintenance/management. We did a bit of everything relating to commercial properties besides the leasing/contract side of things.

The big difference is that I'd still be heavily focused on the political sideshow and frustrated by not having any real options for making the world better.

Dude! The shit I've learned about politics in this last half year is bone chilling. I'm completely out of the game now.

Yeah, I was already about as red-pilled as possible, but I didn't realize how much of the solution was being built .

I'd be buying more stocks, basically AMD instead of selling them for BTC and LTC.

Why LTC?

1 sat \ 0 replies \ @ama 12h

Because it's POW with a different cryptographic algorithm (not competing) than BTC's, and I think it nicely complements BTC in my portfolio. Also, because it has MWEB for privacy, which I really like.

If you are a hodler, would it make much of a difference? IF you havent ever cashed out, you are still at a net negative.

You're not the first person with a similar response. Considering how much it's changed my life, I can see how it has given people hope and a reason to look forward to the future.

I'm happy you found it when you did.

I’d probably be getting more involved in video games or local government.

You’re on the short list for VP

It’ll be a strong man competition

My first act as VP would be the strategic bitcoin reserve. I'll supply the address, don't ask questions.

I'd be working many more hours...selling my time for some dirty money.

Personally, I would still be under the fallacy of fiat money, working like crazy every day without knowing why things are getting more expensive and why money would allow me to buy fewer things as time goes by.
