re: How much should I invest in BTC today?

[quote]$4 million per Bitcoin? Surely this is a troll[/quote]
Not a troll. Did you ever see it being as high as it is now? No one did. Why should we continue to doubt it as an investment vehicle?...

[quote]What an odd argument.[/quote]
People have been doubting this thing, myself included, all the way up to 70k a piece. I just don’t see how one day it all goes away. And I’m no stranger to being called crazy. But I’m totally fine with parking 20% of my retirement on a gamble. The value of the...
How much should I invest in BTC today?
Posted by dualed on 5/6/24 at 9:09 pm
I’ll be 34 in two months. 140k in my 401k is basically all the retirement money I have. No other accounts other than what my wife has. I see projections right now of BTC at $4M+ per coin by 2050.
So my thinking is right my 401k looks to be worth between 1.5M-2.0M by my earliest retirement age (5...
re: Isnurance company denied my roof hail damage claim. Options?
Posted by dualed on 5/3/24 at 4:52 pm
I had SF up until the last month or so. A roofer came through our neighborhood and a guy 2 houses down gets a new roof through USAA. He inspects mine and says we should have enough damage for a claim (recent hail storm in AP). SF comes out and says damage is less than deductible. Roofer suggested ta...

We actually changed things up a bit since this post. Now we’re staying midtown for the Saturday and Sunday night followed by Fredericksburg on Monday night. And it’s just the wife and I. I appreciate the offer though! :cheers:...
re: Joe Rogan Podcast with Bart Sibrel - who here believes the Moon Landing was a hoax?
Posted by dualed on 4/26/24 at 7:37 am
The government consistently lies to us today. They can get caught lying and continue to lie. They can get called out to their face and they will still lie. I don’t believe much of anything they say. Were they the same 60 years ago? I think so. So yeah, I’m inclined to believe we never actually made ...
re: Place to Stay in Portland (Oregon)
Posted by dualed on 4/23/24 at 11:29 am
We’ve stayed on the east side twice between Hawthorne and Division and liked that area. The last time we went we stayed in Vancouver across the river and really liked that area. It was very clean and it wasn’t a homeless tent city like Portland. ...

Not like liquidation and paying a penalty and all that. We have a fund that acts as cash but it’s not called that. Valued at $1/share. But yeah, it’s obviously not a safe thing to do :lol:...

Posted by dualed on 4/20/24 at 10:45 pm
If you sold higher than what whatever your stock or fund is currently at then buy in ASAP and consider it a win. I just moved my entire 401k portfolio to cash right before Powell announced no cuts anytime soon. And then we had the Israel/Iran crap this week. Bought back in 5% lower. I don't think it...
re: Any of you know of or have worked at the Exxon Mobil Baton Rouge refinery?
Posted by dualed on 4/20/24 at 6:25 pm
Engineering?? shite you’ll move up the corporate ladder quick as hell. You basically have no choice but to be promoted as an engineer. You’ll move on from a contact to a second line supervisor before you know it. And then it’s on to Houston....

I work in the chem plant so can’t speak for the refinery. Your OT is gonna strictly depend on the unit you go to and how well it’s staffed. I agree with everything one of the guys mentioned above. Upper management is relentless with justifying their jobs by head hunting. They’ve got people scared to...

Downtown Austin safe to walk around?

Gonna be in Austin 6/15-6/17. Concert at Moody Center and comedy show at Rogan's Club. Is this area fine to walk around or should I plan to Uber? I was looking at Hotel Indigo....

It took me four different times to make it through the first movie. By the fourth viewing I was dialed in and focused on what was going on and didn’t feel lost at all watching the 2nd. I’m hooked now and have been reading up on everything. I thought the 2nd movie was one of the best sci-fi movies I’...

I just traded in a 2006 GMC Sierra that I've had for 12 years. I intend on keeping this truck for the same amount of time if not longer. The interest is irrelevant if I'm paying to off sooner anyways. But pay 26k for a used F150 or 65K for a new one? I'm going used 11 out of 10 times....

Get pre approved at a credit union. While you're at the dealership just let them run your credit and act as if you're financing with them. You'll sit down with finance after you finish with the salesman. They'll throw a paper at you with some bullshite monthly numbers. And you'll say alright idc abou...
