okay, I'm relatively new to bitcoin, just got in this last October. Can someone explain the whole "rekt" concept to me? Are people shorting BTC and losing their shorts, or what? Just fear selling when BTC drops a little against the dollar?

#homesteading The economics of homesteading for our family (7people living ar home right now): Jersey milk cow and beef calf cost $1000, eats $700/yr in feed, plus $450 in hay. Fence was $1000. First year cost $3150. Milk cow on average has produced 4 gallons milk per day, we sell half @ $7/gallon, $5100 income. Plus we keep half the milk, making yogurt, butter, sour cream, and cheese. And we get about 240# grassfed beef from the calf plus dog food and tallow. Seeds for garden $100/yr. not selling any at the moment, consuming about 75%. 15 egg chickens were free, cost annually $4000 in feed, produce roughly 3000 eggs. We consume all of these. Rabbits are fed with leftover cow hay and garden greens, produce roughly 70 kits, 2# meat each. Milking the cow takes 2 hours per day Caring for other livestock and gardens take 15 minutes/ day on average. Butchering takes about 30 hours /year. Total out of pocket cost to us: $2100. We still buy some things at the grocery store that we can't grow or raise here, or produce during the winter.

I made New York strip steaks for lunches for the week. Cooked in tallow with elephant garlic. 100% home grown and butchered.

GM!

FYI, milking a cow when it's 20F outside us not nearly as bad as it sounds, and gets the blood flowing to the brain at 4am. Health benefits!
