Your dime, your dance floor. You're not a pussy.

Jealousy can fuck up peoples' judgements.

Just added $500 to my bitcoin...I now have $650.

My guy says it has no resistance and will top $100k by end of year.

We shall see. We will also see if the "politicians for the downtrodden" really do care about the poverty stricken of the world.

Did he say what year?

'83

It’s the only interesting question on this thing (to me).

At what point will governments try to regulate and will it be too late?

_________________

It's already too late. China has "outlawed" Bitcoin and Bitcoin hasn't skipped a beat. I guess governments could address it the way the West is addressing "climate change", take down the Internet with all the consequences that would have just like the consequences we are about to see from taking down the fossil fuel industry. That's cutting your nose off to spite your face though.

That said, in the relatively short term I think governments could make enough moves to temporarily crash the price. And I'm not sure what "temporarily" would be- five years? ten years? to get back to where it is now. Who knows and who knows if that will even happen. I think it's more likely to just keep rising as the USD is debased. But I'm almost 60 years old. and I bought my Bitcoin cheap. I sold a little this week. If I were 25 I would just HODL like a motherfucker.

I'm having thoughts at my age that I never even considered before. A while back I had an opportunity to buy into SpaceX. The minimum investment was $2.5 million. Obviously, I don't have that. But a friend and I were able to put together a group. I had to really sell my wife on putting our 50 grand in. She's a lot more conservative than I am. At the last minute, SpaceX raised our share price from $400 to $436 and the deal blew up. The two biggest guys in the deal said, "Fuck these people." Personally, I didn't care about the extra 9%. This is something where I figured my $50,000 would be worth well over a million in 20 years. To me that little extra was insignificant. Maybe that's why the guys who opted out are rich and I'm not. But it got me thinking. In twenty years I'll be almost 80. Is it really going to matter if I have an extra million dollars? I don't have any kids to leave it to. I don't really need to take big risks in an attempt to hoard wealth.

Has spaceex gone up?

It's not a public company. I think they plan to take Starlink public at some point.

starlink will likely go public because the product is simple, at least in concept. once the network is up and online, and its just maintenance that needs to be done, then yeah its mostly just management stuff.

spacex is wide open on possibilities. and elon wants to claim other planets as his own. no way he will ever take that company public. hes even said he trying to get to other planets as fast as possible. nervously, he annotates with 'for human kind'. yea, right, elon. you want to say 'before i die so its mine'

Did you know starlink is a complete boondoggle? He's just doing it because the government pays handsomely for him to do it.

Got a 5% failure rate. And they're in space. Goals will never be met, the cost is ridiculously prohibitive even without the problems. An eternal money pit with the added pollution of space junk. It's a bad idea that will just turn into a horrible idea.

That seems to be his business model.

When it comes to Musk's late night infomercials on space internet and hyperloop, the government CALLS NOW!

its a great idea that is working, and it will be a godsend to rural america or hipsters who like glamping.

Much of the quality tech advancement has been government funded to a large degree.

the government also has a keen interest in giving the masses connectivity. they funded the expansion of cell towers in the 90s for this reason.

its going to be a LOT easier for them to track everyone when there is no "out of range"

I own SpaceX through Baron Partner Fund. 50% of the fund is tesla though.

This run Tesla's been on means everything is priced in prior to earnings, right?

We've been told for almost a decade that FAANG stocks have everything already priced in.

So this fucker is going to tank after earnings.

Finally at age 51 I am making a plunge into the stock market. No idea what stocks I am getting, that's up to my financial advisor. Working with Morgan Stanley. Trying to get my retirement plans jump started. Would really like to not work as long as my dad who is retiring at the end of the year at almost 79 years old.
