Pull up a finder window and hit command-F. Doesn’t get much simpler than that. If you’re dicking around in the UNIX subsystem and need to find the files there than run a locate command.

I’m not understanding the issue here.

Real estate is, in many ways a messy business, but for the past many years it has been my business. I left engineering to work construction, remodeling distressed properties for resale or to rent. It has allowed me to directly use my labor to grow my wealth significantly. It also means it’s me or my employees handling ongoing maintenance.

With the right use of leverage it also allows one to tap into the fiat money printer. While the money printer destroys lives and value, it exists, so I use it to my advantage. But I am constantly reevaluating each property and estimating where I think the real estate and BTC valuations are going, to see when it makes sense to exit a property and move that equity into BTC.

I do throw all rental profits into BTC. And so selling a property takes into account decreased ongoing savings opportunities vs a one time equity injection into my cold storage from the sale.

In many ways I’m with you, I’d love to see the monetization of a deteriorating asset end. But with the way money is created today, it still makes sense for me to tap into that printer as close to the source as possible.

Love your loan product. It allows me to save in bitcoin and live the life I desire and that makes sense to me.

- Income goes to acquire an asset with huge growth potential.
- Expenses are charged against debt on that asset expressed in a collapsing fiat.
- Requires a stack large enough to maintain a comfortable buffer to cover downturns. But if that buffer drops too small, I’m fully collateralized and can liquidate assets to pay off debt at a 4:3 ratio.
- Debt load is kept under asset growth (due to stack size and ongoing income).

Result is I maximize the BTC I acquire, my net wealth grows faster then my fully collateralized debt, and I provide stability to cover my expenses despite a highly variable income. Looking forward to the line of credit options to make this process even smoother.

I don’t understand the hate. This is the end game product I’ve been waiting for. My biggest risk out of my control is that portion of my stack that is held by Strike and over-collateralized beyond my debt load. But you can’t find fiat financing partners without that. So I have to trust that Strike maintains proof of reserves for BTC held without re-hypothecating. I wonder if there would be a way to provide a signed on chain address for BTC on a loan to know Strike has the keys to that address and that the collateralized BTC is not touched during the life of the loan.

Regardless, keep up the good work.

In English the x at the end of a word is almost always a /ks/ pronunciation. The rare exception is a silent x. The anglophone reading dix written on a French issued monetary note is likely to pronounce it with a hard x, as in fix or exam.

And yet for a time, a large part of this country did price things in “dix”s (pronounced in English as dicks) as one of several privately issued currencies in common usage and from when we get the Southern region of Dixie. Although ironically given your conversation with a French speaker, these notes were issued by a bank in New Orleans, where they spoke French. “dix” being French for 10 (although pronounced dis).

A dollar ain’t what it used to be. Need to stretch and bump that up to $1.25!

And at that moment I didn’t like either option, cause they didn’t fit “my” character and I stopped playing.
