Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
with actual experience with tangible metals I can say I'm not quite ready for owning actual bitcoin (which is probably a lot easier). but as a simple example, I'd probably put the recovery password in a safe deposit box at the bank if I had any sizeable amount of bitcoin (at this point more than 2-3 coins). as with any alt asset, there are logistics, the burden of which you have to be ok with. for me right now, i just need the inflation/currency hedge and the explosive growth so an ETF is great for now and maybe forever, but as my planning above suggests, if we need to make a radical move with assets, we will and at that point losing a bitcoin run up is not the point (presumably by then the ETF has the run up covered), the point is to be flexible and mobile. so liquidating assets, buying bitcoin, moving, then reestablishing a diversified asset base is possible with an agnostic attitude to value because of the temporal nature of the transaction. I get St Kitts and Nevis confused, one or both have passports for sale. Malta is the gold standard based on my limited review, especially for EU travel. both have passports simply for sale.

Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
Well Iāve lost digital pictures at multiple times in my life and even as recent as 2016-2018 so until recently it was probably a bad idea for me to own bitcoin directly. Advent of the Wall Street ETF was very helpful for me. as for a true apocalypse, well I don't think anything digital will matter and we have tangible gold and silver and a couple of guns and more important a lot of water and shelter that remains cool in the summer without HVAC, so we have tons of advantages. as for central bank currency hyper-devaluation and fascist control (for purposes of this post we can assume left and right are capable but Iām pretty sure everyone knows how I view the current political risks), that is a risk, but for now I have to live with it. Owning bitcoin is a way to alleviate concerns, but it not my first priority. Our first priority is working on a second place to rightfully live (active measures ongoing), then we will add a second passport, same place as the second place with standard citizenship applications over time or if financially feasible a second passport simply for sale (unlikely but Malta, Nevis, etc.). from there itās where to hold assets and even if I wanted to put more in digital currency not sure thatās feasible for a while. 5/6th of our NW is tied up in physical real estate (not a REITs) and closely held business interests (not publicly traded). The good news is the monetization of those will well outpace any currency devaluation and should even outpace bitcoin appreciation, the remaining issue - which I will admit at this point is unclear to me - is how to be flexible with the banking / domicile / location / type of assets to move that into when asset exits occur. With a second passport I could do a lot, but some of that depends on making drastic moves like forsaking US citizenship. Quite frankly I never thought that even remotely likely, but today, with laws passing at every turn that make my life either incredibly difficult or worse functionally unlawful, it is now something I have to consider. Unfortunately I need 5 more years and honestly will probably fall short by 25-30% of a number that makes all of this totally and easily doable (purchasing a second passport and having enough wealth to be citizenship agnostic). But we will see.

Iāve thought about it but I have a massive mental block for a standing desk. Iām going to figure out how to walk more ā¦. BECAUSE GET THISā¦. While in San Miguel⦠I drank more (5 nights a week), I ate out more (6 nights a week), I ate dessert most meals, and with all of thatā¦. I LOST 6 POUNDS IN 3 WEEKS! yes, I AM yelling. Iām shocked.- 2025 Fitness Thread
Oh I do that in my HIIT work outs. Probably 1x a month and if not that some other stupid shit that pisses me off just as much.- 2025 Fitness Thread
Averaged 8000 steps Monday through Thursday and close to 20,000 steps Friday through Sunday in San Miguel. Played tennis bit and went to the gym. My hip felt great. Looks like sitting at my desk is the big problem, not sure how Iām going to do this but I need to add serious walking not just a 1000 steps in a 15 min walk to my routine. Happy and frustrated at the same time. I dunno what prowler training is. Funny you say lazy tho, itās what peaked my interest in sprints that and it seems tennis appropriate.- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
Iām in the fidelity ETF, FBTC. Honestly recent experience grappling with physical metals is a bit much. I donāt know all of what buying actual bitcoin entails but I figure for a long term hold - inflation / currency hedge - growth asset play - with a .25% expense structure, 99%+ tracking of actual bitcoin value because the ETF owns actual and only bitcoin with no options or other funny business on the ETF and the only notable drawback is itās not tradable 24/7 that it was just fine. while it has unique features in the end I see it as an explosive growth asset and part of a disruptive trend among finance, transportation, AI, energy and robotics. There are other growth stocks and sectors but Iām hunting these 5 mostly. Now I need to invest 100x additional to see this run up to $250-500k or more. In due time maybe. Getting my sea legs as it were right now. i am interested in why owning actual crypto is the way to go though. I can see it for use as legal tender but buy and hold?- 2025 Thread of the Rains
