Bitcoin and buying a new truck...
My last new truck I bought in Jan 2009 at the low of the great financial crisis. It was a Ford F150, XLT... Window sticker was $35k+ with all the rebates I ended up at $23k out the door.
Bitcoin was just a baby at that time being launched on 1/03/2009. I could have bought $1 worth of bitcoin and held until now. But no, I didn't even learn about it until around 2015 and no purchases until 2021.
Fast forward 17 years. The old truck is gone, sold...got $8500 for it... But now on th3 hunt for a new truck, something a little bigger to pull trailers with. Found a 2026 F250, XLT for about $60,000.
Currently bitcoin is at about $70k. This got me to wondering what the next 15 years will be like?
I might have missed out on the first 12 years of bitcoin, but I sure won't miss out on the next 12 years.
Just think, for the cost of less than 1 bitcoin, I could get a new truck. As bitcoin does it's thing, as fiat does it's thing, the cost of a new vehicle will continue to go down. How many Sats will I pay for my next new truck?
Here is the one I'm getting.
