    Here a nice article about the guy who says Bitcoin will go to 1 million USD and is 1.2 billion down with his Bitcoin:

    The biggest corporate holder of bitcoin is facing a reckoning (msn.com)

     

    Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy) Portfolio Tracker (saylortracker.com)   He needs you to buy more bitcoin.

    paper loss. Will be all right. The value of fiat money will never recover again.

    This nonsense about inflated fiat money comes from a basic misunderstanding of what currency is. Dollar bills are not like stock. They are not shares of something. The question isn't how much each dollar can buy now  compared to say, 20 years ago, but how many total dollars on average one has compared to 20 years ago. If your purchasing power is greater now than it was 20 years ago, then you're ahead. If less, then you're not.  In the wake of the stock market crash and the ensuing Great Depression, the purchasing power of the dollar actually rose. Does that mean Americans were more prosperous? Deflation is a symptom of an economy in trouble.

    No matter what your approach is, in the end its when inflation is higher then the raise of income your fiat money gets more and more worthless. And this is going on for many years already.

    I mentioned yesterday, just wait until it hits the teenagers.   This place is looking at so many problems with weed they have no clue.  There are so many irresponsible drivers now, just wait all these stoners on the roads motorbikes and cars.  All such a terrible idea thinking it will be a wonderful tourism money grab.  Shameful really and anyone that supports this is clueless just wait and see.

    Its cash that counts. People they dont care about. For sure many problems will follow.

    My midlife crises was the moment i substituted myself from the game. Walking off the pitch was painful as fudge. Pain until deep into the tunnel and the last of the crowd noise could be heard.

    It ended (mostly) when I was in the players dressing room, in a warm bath and realised that this was actually quiet a comfortable place to be.

    spent quite a bit flying around Asia while walking off the pitch mind.

    Brilliant description. As if it describes my midlife crises. An enormous amount of grief with ultimately a great life.

    Or the whole rotten system that almost daily lets down children being driven by incompetent drivers in unsuitable and old vehicles. 

    And people that only go for some money. They would even sell their own mother. I had my kids on a so called private school. The buses were so old that I decided to pick them up and bring them myself. But still had to pay for the whole year. During the lunch break, meals were sold by the director's sister. If small children bought something for 15 baht and paid with 20 baht, the 5 baht change was not given. They were told to just keep walking. Even stealing from small children does not go too far. I am generally very positive about Thailand but this was quite a disappointment in the behavior of these eager Thais.

    I think it is just the opposite more want, and will come here.

    It is literally 4 to 5 times more expensive to live in my home country now then here.  If a person has a fully paid off house or can stay for free with family back home, then I guess they can consider  it   Otherwise, most of the living expenses listed are way way up in western countries now compared to here.  Not to mention, all the political issues with hate being at an all time high.  And for men, younger attractive female company is non existent.

    I am very happy remaining here thanks, go back once a year for a month to visit family that is more then enough.

    i couldnt agree more
