FOMO into whatever you can afford and build equity or be priced out forever.

I was told this when I was young and didn’t listen. I didn’t buy a house till I was 36 which was two years ago now. It’s hard to say I. Retrospect cause if I had bought a house when I was first able it would have been the absolute peak before the GFC of 08/09 and I’d have just got even in the last year or two. That said I’d have been building equity and not renting for a decade so I’d still be massively ahead.

Buy a modest house or even a shitbox and take care of it, maybe it’s overpriced and declines 50% in the next few years, maybe it does not. Nobody knows for sure but I can tell you this much. The pride of homeownership cannot be explained or rivaled. Knowing you own your shit, are investing in your future, and can do what the fuck you want in and with it is worth every penny.

Yea yea I know I said the same thing for years but you sure own it a lot more than renting it from someone else who is also beholden to the government. I pay thousands per year in taxes and I don’t like it at all. They plow the roads, take my trash and keep the niggers away so there’s that. The fact is you can’t get away from property tax. Your rent is going to the tax and myriad things in excess of what you would pay if you just bought it so they can profit off you and you don’t get shit from it other than a place to live. Renting for as long as I did is one of my biggest financial regrets. Other one was owning thousands of BTC below a dollar and selling them at 10 then watching it go to 20k and now 50k. Still think it’s going to pennies again...

I understand where you're coming from regarding "powers-that-be" shutting down what they may perceive as a threat to their hegemony over financial markets writ large - as a helpful addendum, I don't actually hold any BTC at the moment but will seriously consider putting a decent portion of profits from this bull run into it. That being said, Bitcoin is now fairly conventional to those actors who are making these decisions. Like you said, we're seeing increased regulation and scrutiny, but my take and that of many others is that these are signs of acceptance and subsumption rather than rejection. The material infrastructure surrounding Bitcoin even lends itself to this with public ledgers, and it was only a matter of time before regulatory and enforcement agencies got a handle on how to make sure they are aware of the things they believe they should always be aware of.

>>29539588
True, the institutions are getting in now and that should suppress volatility. BTC will always be the OG crypto so that will probably keep it from going to zero. I’m old enough to remember the first internet money though. It did go to zero. It was called Flooz. Bad name, Bitcoin has excellent branding. It also has a story and an as for now solid tech securing it. It will be broken eventually as tech advances. Maybe it takes another decade, maybe BTC goes to seven figures in the meantime. Risk reward is just not there for me. I’d rather yolo money into different penny stocks or low probability options than “””investing””” in crypto. For example I threw 700$ into SLV weekly puts yesterday expiring Friday. Sold em today for 200$ profit. 20% in a day is great and I can keep shooting for that. The risk is greater in that trade than in holding BTC for sure but so is the reward. My RYCEY is outperforming BTC since I bought it adpnd that’s a historic company near all time lows. risk reward is there for me. Same with GEO. BayHorse also. Buying it now at 16c hoping for a dollar is much more likely than buying BTC over 50k and hoping for a million IMO.

I think the substantive difference in evaluation of risk comes from pessimism regarding the staying power of the dollar and of a nationally-derived global reserve currency in general. It may be fallacious thinking, and I don't necessarily subscribe to it myself (hence why I don't have a BTC stack that I will hold for a decade or more), but if we think of the development of economic systems in general, and of global finance in particular, we're talking about systems that have only been in place for a century or less, and that have been influenced in no small part by the political and technological circumstances that birthed them. It is an incredible feat of consensus building - and all the political, social, and media forces that work to make it so - that we have arrived at our current configuration of determination of value and general distribution of economic power. I think it is naive to assume that change is not possible, but on the other hand, arrogant to assume the nature of that change.

So I figured why not try it on my studio place since I technically qualify and have "COVID hardships" ah gag!* cough cough!*

I run 3 businesses out of it, including a woodshop in the garage where I build very super niche furniture and demand is through the roof. One small online niche bookstore. And starting another woodworking venture here, and it's starting to take off too!
Place is kind of a dump, but the landlord trusts me and hasn't even come by in like 2 years. I just keep sending that check. So I basically sublet, and I get a fat discount on rent. It meets all my needs for my businesses, and the neighbors are chill and look out for one another. I've been here 15 years. I could have paid off a mortgage by now, if I had just done the same exact thing I did. But $500 a month out the door just can't be beat in this area (so cal).

if they have insurance that covers house fires, you'd be wise to think this decision through carefully.

when you rent you're still buying a house, it just belongs to your landlord instead of you.

>>29547446
you're right, it's not going back to normal. do you unironically think landlords would simply go bankrupt while you live it up in their property lol? at best they'll cut the utilities/break the AC/smash the cable box. at worst they'll simply burn it down.

well before pandemic times you had to like, seriously fucking pursuit people hard to be their friend and hang out with them. everyone here has such a fucking ego. it's kind of hard to explain.

i grew up in a region of the united states (the midwest) where people are a lot more open, friendly, and talkative, and the misconception/stereotype of people in my region is that we leave our doors unlocked, we are uncomfortably, overtly friendly.

in la everyone pretends they're instagram famous. no one wants to hang out with you unless "you're proven" or some shit. and i mean literally everyone. i play boardgames and card games at local game stores with nerds, and i do tabletop roleplaygames, and there's a huge share of people who pretend they're super fucking popular, like they're the cool kids at school and they're too cool to acknowledge you.

i made some friends but damn it's fuck annoying trying to meet new people.

if you're that anon from australia you're golden though. that automatically makes you 'really fucking hot' according to everyone here, especially if you have an accent. play up your down under cred lol

Honestly before Covid it was great. I live in the heart and always have something to do on the weekends... Def need to make more than most places to stay afloat but the weather meme is real. Since Covid it's been tense and alot of people are flocking out of here it's kinda crazy but I'm personally waiting for the constant orgies that will happen once everyone can get out again. Give it a shot anon yolo

I'm with you anon. Live in LA and feel the same way... if you don't work in an "industry" you can literally see it in the eyes of people realizing you can't do anything for them and they move on. Few friends have stuck who are rad af but it's definitely harder than most places. Worth moving with a friend to have a foundation if you do come here
