I have invested with a policy of never investing in things I don't understand. I missed out on crypto. I read an excellent piece of advice years back when BTC was in single digits and that was to invest 5% of your savings in BTC. I didn't do it, and of course I could have made a vast amount of money. BTC seems to be more established these days and I'm wondering what the folk on here think about investing 5% of my savings in BTC. It is money I can afford to lose. The thing that attracts me is the 'halving event' and the opening of an ETF in Hong Kong that Chinese will be able to invest in? My investment horizon is 10 to 20 years and I have earned 5.4% net over the past 25 years using buy and hold with Vanguard. Any thoughts?

Yes this evil slaughter of innocent unarmed people by the self proclaimed best military in the world has to stop. I want to see the evil inhumane perpetrators of this in the IDF, along with the political leaders and IDF commanders in the dock for attempted genocide and mass starvation of innocent people. Palestinians are not subhuman.

Moment Debate | Should UNRWA be shut down?
retarius replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
Insofar as all institutions are corrupt, UNRWA is likely corrupt and maybe should be replaced with something more effective. It should certainly not be shut down because of the recent scurrilous evidence-free lies by Israel about UNWRA staff taking part in the massacre on October 7th. -
Chinese influencer’s food poisoning sparks Thai food hygiene row
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I won't eat street food. I always ask myself where the folks selling them go to the toilet during the long afternoon and evening. I can't recall seeing any of them washing their hands when I go to a market and the 10 baht bathrooms are horribly dirty....so dirty I wouldn't take my dog to defecate there. -

Page turners: Survey reveals shift in Thai reading habits
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Come to think of it, I do see Thais reading newspapers. But think if the average Thai read 2 hours every day, you would see Thai's reading on the train, on public transport and you would see Kindles for older folk. I have a suspicion that the report is hogwash. -

You look pretty suspicious to me from your photo. I would have confiscated your phone and tortured you for looking so shady.- 37 replies

Any recommendations for a shop to replace the body of a laptop?
retarius replied to dhupverg's topic in IT and Computers
Make a new body/frame out of scrap hard wood. Not only serviceable but beautiful as well and much better than factory produced rubbish made from plastic or anodised aluminium. -

I go often to Kinokuniya in Siam Paragon. The coffee store is mobbed with people drinking coffee and eating desserts, and the aisles are completely free of customers. -

Joe Biden expects Iran to attack Israel 'sooner than later'
retarius replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Let's face it, Joe Biden is prescient. Who would want more in a leader? Problem I suppose, is how JoePublic can tell Joe Dementia's lunacy from his prescience. -
I had an experience here similar to the OP. A few years ago I developed a basal cell cancer lesion on my chest. I went to the local dermatologist who was about 70 years old with pancaked make-up. She told me she had never seen anything like that lesion before in her life. What it is the most common skin cancer????????? But TiT I knew it was basal cell and so decided to ditch the country doctor and went to a Dr Rusla at Bumrungrad. She confirmed my diagnosis and checked the rest of my torso and picked out another lesion on my back for biopsy, both turned out to be a basal cell lesions.

I don't know if this will help, but I made a Living Will. In it, I expressed all my wishes, like no unnecessary medical treatment, want to die at home, modest funeral et al. I'm still alive so I don't know if it was effective or not at stopping the rape of the widow when Papa cracks. The Living Will was written at a lawyer's, translated into English and Thai and has been lodged with other wills at the Embassy.
