It looks like most people here is over 40? Noone (no matter which age) that didn't start using computers until the nineties? And absolutely no millenials here?

Interesting if that were the case.
I'm 21 and feel much too young to be here 🤣

The Lambo thing has become an in-joke that I really wish would go away.
The MSM likes the analogy and association because it paints Bitcoiners as petty and childish asshats.
Lambos are better associated with the BCash and ICO/shitcoin crowd. I mean, Roger and CSW drive them, so....?

Well said. Lambos are gauche symbols for the uncultured nouveaux riche who crave attention.

Or for car people. Don't forget the world isn't black and white. It's been my dream to own a Lamborghini since I was a small child because I like them. No need for the hate.

My lambo is my brand new fully paid off house. Less flashy but also less childish.

Why would you pay for a home with cash when at least 80% of it could have been reinvested?

I closed in late January of this year. Figure it out.

I don't care if you cashed out at 20,000 per btc and made half a million dollars. That doesn't change what I said. Buying a house in cash is a waste of equity. Think bigger!

That is functionally equivalent to investing borrowed money. I'm not willing to invest borrowed money. Bitcoin is neat. I understand the protocol better than 99.999% of people, and I think I understand enough about economics and fiance to see the value proposition in that protocol, but I still don't trust myself nearly enough to invest with borrowed money. There could always be some part of the picture that I'm just missing. It's not worth losing everything I have because I made an error.

Most of investing is done with borrowed money lol. There is such a thing as good debt. But if you're happy with your financial situation, then good for you. Keep doing you.

What about paying off an existing mortgage with free BCash, investing over $2M in a managed portfolio for the next 20 years, and retiring early ?  Kiss

As I said to the last person, if that financial situation is good enough for you, so be it. It just seems like the general consensus from Bitcoin "investors" here is that retiring is more interesting than the game of investing itself. I guess I just have a different outlook on things. I personally would never retire early with just two million.

Everyone on Reddit seems to think so, so I'd grab as big of a personal loan as you can while you still have the chance to hop on the rocket.

It's also why everyone who wins the lottery blows through it all in a couple years, they think they won WAY more than they actually did.
indeed... and the fact most are understandably clueless at financial management.
After all, hookers and blow has a fairly poor ROI.
I'm not sure about hookers (unless they're yours), but blow can make a very healthy RoI if used properly.
