Enough to not work and day trade (lose) shit coins all day. On the other hand life is sort of pointless now. Trying to avoid the hedonic treadmill.
I'm not rich, I can just pay my rent for a decade and a half before really having to dip into savings.
- mirimir 9y agoThat's a great story :) Mine is the opposite :( I mined about 500 Bitcoin in mid 2010. But I got paranoid about the lack of anonymity, so I sold them, for maybe $0.06 each. So it goes.
- rublev 9y agoDoes the thought sometimes hit you like a pile of bricks when you're sitting at work? Damn.
- mirimir 9y agoNo, not really. Stuff happens. And I've been pretty lucky about finding ways to get paid for doing stuff that I might otherwise have done for fun. And mostly as a consultant, with very little structure. Now I just work anonymously for Bitcoin. But anyway, I would have probably have sold it at the ~$1K peak, and the money would all be gone by now ;)
- ALee 9y agoCongratulations! Outside of the hedonic or material treadmill, I strongly suggest you do something that you honestly enjoy for your community or for a cause you believe in. Lots of studies show that if you "give back" (in a way that you trust makes a real impact), you will lead a more fulfilling life. Also, it's fun to get back to trying to solve problems :D
