Yup I totally get it. And tere is a lot of misrepresentation just on the cherry picking of measurement dates. Using any sort of past data to forecast the future is also problematic

I get the sentiment. However I know exactly my average cost basis (and my CAGR 👀). I am also a true bitcoiner in that I put every last penny that I can into BTC and am ideologically possessed by it. I like tracking things. It's also my profession as a CPA. To each their own!

and - I appreciate the honest dialogue of your journey through nihilism. I needed to hear it, because honestly I'm in it now, and it is difficult. You gave me a bit of hope that perhaps it's only temporary. Thank you for that.

He's right. I encourage everyone to calculate the CAGR on their own personal investments. It's the best metric for cross-asset comparison. I have been DCA-ing since 2021 and the CAGR of my personal stack is currently 66%. Have AI help you set up a spreadsheet to do this. It's wildly valuable knowledge. I — like every other moon boi — find myself complaining that we're "stuck" at $115,000. But when I look at my CAGR, I know there is nothing better I could be investing in than Bitcoin. It's extremely unlikely that I could consistently beat 66%, so I need to chill out and appreciate Bitcoin.

Agreed. The left-right axis just tell you what people prefer to do with an amount of control or freedom...almost like a personality indicator more than anything.

Appreciate you!

The fields of wild Aster and Goldenrod are my among my favorite things about my home.

Thank you Keeth- one thing that's keeping me grounded recently has been strength training.. keep moving forward..just like you say

the Nostr wallet connect is now working much more reliably for sending zaps (using Primal). Not sure what you did, but thanks!

Wow. I never realized how Orwellian the term "hate speech" is...

Strike in NY 😭😭😭
