The difference, Michael is while I WOULD tell my friends to buy bitcoin, I would NOT tell them to get a loan to buy more. I furthermore would NOT recommend them giving someone with an 800 credit score their money so they can get better terms on the loan. Pretending you're just another company that buys bitcoin and puts it on their balance sheet is nonsense. NOBODY invests in your company because they think you have a killer software business.

As a Fed, I must answer that there’s no map. Why are we still talking about this? 🤣

I just don't like the idea of a small group of people choosing what gets zero knowledge proofed. That doesn't sound cool.

But TBH, I don't understand why the whole chain couldn't be zero knowledge proofed.

To be clear: that's not something I'm saying should be done, I just genuinely don't understand

Listen. I think immigration is a topic that doesn't get enough nuance.

But if you no knock an entire apartment building with a Blackhawk, you've crossed SEVERAL red lines of rights and liberty

For those of you who make your own parts/read a lot of drawings. Adobe Acrobat has a pretty cool measuring tool. Very helpful if you know your drawing is scale, have some dimensions, but need to figure out the others. Even if they don't give you the scale you can measure a known dimension and set it yourself.

Anyone here live on a boat? Can recommend y/n?

I live on a boat! Have been on various sizes for 5 years.

The pros:
It forces you to live minimalist.
Sailing with friends!
Sailing far places.
Feeling self sufficient and prepared.
Cheaper than a house, if it's one or the other.

The cons:
Can be expensive if you're not handy.
If you ARE handy, they require a lot of work, especially in the beginning if you're buying used. (You should definitely buy used).
Depending on where you're docked it can be hard to sleep.
Little things like filling your water tank, getting a good shower, and doing your laundry are more cumbersome.
There's kind of a steep learning curve if you're new to boats, but remember!: When it comes to boats, it's almost a certainty that someone dumber than you has figured out how to do it.

I like it. I have no intention of buying a house anytime soon. Live free.

Oh PS: A great way to learn is go down to your local yacht club and ask to join the "beer can" races. You'll get to see a lot of different boats and talk to their owners about what they like/dislike about them. Bring beer.

well said Garrett. I lived on the boat full-time for 6 years. I ended up sailing north and eventually decided to live on land again. While I still spend time with the boat doing boaty things (just not full time living there). If it's a dream of yours like it was mine, I can recommend following it...
