Rates might be lower but they're not usually fixed. They're easier to get assuming your liquidity is in equities versus crypto or even a stable income. There's a reason mortgage financing is still more prevalent than margin l

Real estate financing is primarily done by lenders with very traditional underwriting practices that don't factor in crypto or avoid it entirely. Even HNI/private banking doesn't consider crypto part of a liquid portfolio. Yo

Anecdotally many crypto holders prefer to not liquidate their crypto positions but instead take out loans via BlockFi to purchase hard assets like real estate. With cash in hand and now a property, they can get a cash out refi and the crypt

Might get downvoted but HN opinions are based on a minority of people who are more technical and well informed to the point of elitism IMO. When something becomes too mainstream and doesn't cater to the HN demographic, its success is i

I like the concept but please correct me if I'm mistaken that this is essentially a Kickstarter approach of validating a product concept but backers are putting in more skin in the game than the one who came up with the idea? I think i

Really? I think bitcoin is a way of accelerating externalities and the byproduct is an arbitrary transfer of wealth obfuscated with the cover of decentralization and value. Mining does not accelerate the development of renewable energy but

Good point regarding mindfulness. I'd say we differ on this topic or at least your explanation in its relevance. Mindfulness is about being present and you could argue fully absorbing yourself in it. This can be debilitating in the mom

Not exactly. Meditation is a solitary activity where one can train the mind to emptiness. What the article and I'm referring to is getting to that state while still being in the moment. Meditation might be the ability to sharpen the sw

"The only reliable cure for overthinking seems to be enjoyment, something that both success and analysis can dull." This point at the end seems a bit forced without any support beyond the author's assertion. The feeling I get

Great idea and execution! I personally find the white space excessive and it's made more obvious on print. Unless someone is name dropping companies, I would expect a resume to have a lot more information in a higher density view. A co

My strategy nearly matches this comment. I'd also set all bill payments to autopay so you avoid any late fees/delinquent accounts which needlessly hurts your credit. I highly encourage you to list out your regular monthly expense

We've all become critics and no longer appreciate the world around us. Becoming aware of the social fabric and the associated norms can be daunting initially but also strangely fulfilling once we learn to recognize them. I've used

The allure of Tesla is that their DNA and proposed vision is all-electric performance without compromise. They've forgone the luxury market and gone all-in with performance. The 3, Y, and even X rely on the nostalgia of the Roadster an

This is the only way you can scale your time, by ramping up others to be as efficient as you are. Although you might be becoming less of a contributor individually, you are enabling the larger group. This type of productivity can definitely

Time spent with coworkers is just time spent at work. It's not voluntary so time spent away from work once retirement hits isn't about transferring all of it to friends. Retirement includes time for hobbies which can be solitary w

"What is limiting your growth?" is a myopic view of this problem. An injection of capital provides runway at a minimum and leverage in many cases regardless of a company's situation at nearly every stage. Your suggestion of &

Early adopters are more likely to increase their usage as they're transitioning more of their fitness time to Peloton. The mainstream cohorts who rely on Peloton to increase their fitness may not have as much Peloton usage.

I'm trying to understand the justifications for this is the activist is US-based. If CCP has an issue with someone within their own country, that is one thing but this is something totally different.
