you know.
103k in dec 2024
114k in august 2025
with a low of 74k and a high of 123k is quite remarkable
need to look back at the dec 100k numbers just a bit more.
the high for dec 2024 was 108k
For some reason, you find those numbers remarkable, even though in bitcoin terms we are largely talking about flat.. .. some time with bitcoin up and a bit of a recovery, yet the numbers are not really that amazing when it comes to bitcoin, even though surely longer term bitcoiners should not be complaining about such numbers, even though I am pretty sure that a lot of longer term bitcoiners are chomping at the bits for a seeming likelihood of more UPpity in the near-term future.
Look my primary way to get BTC has always been mining.
This has been a long streak of okay mining profits for me.
Yeah I would like to see moon one day.
but the 100-125k slot works well as long as we are in that I get 50% on BTC and I stack so I can finally reach a decent number of BTC one day most likely before Orange man leaves office.
ie the 2028 election I should be in very good shape. maybe actually in fu status.
Why can't your personal preferences be separated from your observations in regards to what the BTC prices are doing? Your post was describing how supposedly amazing the BTC price is, but there is nothing really remarkable about it in the way that you were describing it.
Sure, no problem to proclaim that it is interesting that the BTC price has largely stayed gravitated towards its current price location, yet I would still hardly characterize that as "quite remarkable."
By the way our price rise to just above $123k and then our correction back down to just below $112k could have been an excuse for the BTC price to get stuck in something like $108k to $112k prices for an extended period of time. Nonetheless, it does not seem to be happening.. not that I have any insight in terms of if the BTC price might get stuck in some kind of a range, yet it seems that we are slowly going back to $120k-ish.. yet I am not sure.. that return to $120k-ish is just what appears to be happening, currently.
In regards to your fuck you status, it is good to have a vision, that's for sure, yet it becomes a bit questionable if someone is already drawing upon social security and pension and you had mentioned a 401k, too.. whether you are drawing upon that or not. I would think that any of us bitcoiners might start to draw on some of those income sources, so then our bitcoin income (or withdrawals that we might make currently or might anticipate withdrawing in the future) would potentialoy supplement our other income sources... yet also if our bitcoin stack gets to a high enough level then it could potentially serve as our main income, in the event that our other sources of income might no longer keep up with our needs and/or if some of those other sources of income might dry up.
I have a couple of dollar sources of income in which I don't have to work for that income.. so over the years, I have made adjustments to those, and I have also been drawing a bit from my bitcoin, so then sometimes there can be questions in regards to which one to draw from first or more and then to allow the other one to grow.. something like a pension might have some of those provisions in which the amount could be different based on what age a person is when starting to draw, and social security coudl be the same.. but then something like a 401k could be allowed to stay growing or to start to draw from it, even though mandatory draws might not kick in until 71.5 years of age.
By the way, in 2013, when I first started investing into bitcoin, I was drawing from an investment.. like a life long fund, so the rate of draw was something like 4%, yet there is no way that fund would have had continued to support me, so in some sense my bitcoin saved me from what was going to end up being inadequate income, especially once events after 2020 dollar debasement really kicked in at a higher gear. I am pretty sure that I have had draws from BTC to report on my taxes every year since 2016-ish, but still the amounts had not really been that great because I had a purpose to mostly let the bitcoin grow.. . yet I am thinking more and more that bitcoin still saved me from what my situation would have had been, yet part of the reason that I also had invested into bitcoin was to supplement whatever I had coming in or even what would be the future coming ins, but then I was thinking that maybe 10 years or 20 years before my BTC investment (and/or possible growth) would match my various other investments such as 401k and the other ones.. but by early 2017, my bitcoin was pretty close to parity, so even with the move to $19,666 and then the correction back down to $4k-ish in 2018, the bitcoin did not really go below the more or less parity levels.. so then even around then, it could say all dreams came true because the bitcoin could largely supplement the other income sources to more or less double them... but then now, it may well be that the bitcoin might serve around 80% or more of the various income sources.. of course, bitcoin continues to go up, but there still are desires to spend from several of those other largely fiat based income sources first, even if I will also have social security and a pension kick in... but then I had put off any drawing on the 401k until right around mid-2022, and I started drawing monthly on my 401k.. right around 4% per year.. and it has been largely holding its own.. maybe even growing a bit in dollar terms.. even though we know that the dollar is losing value greater than 4% per year, which was part of my rationale to start to draw on one of my 401ks in about mid 2022...
I guess my point is that these things can change, and my ability to draw on my bitcoin is growing way faster than any of the amounts that I had been drawing from it since 2016.. I even had some business deals that used bitcoin starting in 2021, and some of them have been paying me back, even though maybe some of them are kind of like charities.. hahahahaha.. but none of it really amounts to lessening from my ability to draw upon bitcoin, which is amazing to look at to see how various portions of bitcoin could be allocated to support more businesses and then to support those businesses, and
in 2022 I was thinking about 21 bitcoin to support a business, yet those 21 bitcoin would have ONLY generated an income of about $48k per year. But
now, 21 bitcoin could support an annual income of about $107k per year.
So a person could have way less than 21 bitcoin, such at 7 bitcoin, and currently support 3 businesses of $35.7k per year each, and the future is looking brighter, even with what had historically been thought to be small amounts of bitcoin being able to support fairly decently sized fiat incomes, whether the bitcoins are the sole source of income or if the bitcoin might be supplementing other sources of income.
