Starting my plan to move to a small farm to grow vegetables and animals. Found a few good books but let me know if you have any recommendations. Videos welcomed too.
Midwest US and a little over10 acres. Has a little 2 acre pond on it too. I'm pretty excited but have to stay realistic and ease into it. Can't give up my fiat job... Not yet at least!
The idea of time preference comes up a lot on Bitcoin conversations. But still feel like it's under stated. Maybe it's a personality trait specific to individuals, but to be able to store money in one spot without having to worry about it's future is such a rewarding and liberating mindset. I only want to spend what i need and save the rest for various opportunities or emergencies that inevitably come up in the future.
Prior Bitcoin conviction, i had dozens of investment. Every month or sooner i would evaluate and stress over how to best diversify. Digging through company financials. Trying to come up with stock screeners and complicated Excel automated tools. No matter what direction i took, i had this gut feeling i was being ripped off or making a genuine bad decision.
After years of researching and learning about Bitcoin, I gained full conviction of it's value. I still read the news every day and try to find anything to disprove my conviction. With each day of failed arguments against Bitcoin, my energy continues to increase on more important things like my family, community, what i eat, exercise, and most of all, devotion to my God.
Having money stored away for future uses when i need it is life changing. It's always there. It's ever growing. I think a lot about what business i could start when it grows 10x in a few years. Or who i could help if i have more money than what i need. I'm becoming less of a slave to fiat and more of a contributor to society and specifically my local community.
GM! Taking a break from my fiat job to bike around some lakes.
Tried paying for steak n shake yesterday with Bitcoin lightning. Paid twice but transactions didn't go through and then had to pay with credit card. Pretty disappointed. Still haven't seen refund to my wallet yet...
