    Avatar 3 (2025)

    I tried to watch the trailer for this. I had to skip through it. This shit just doesn't do it for me. I think the whole noble savage bullshit is just too fucking patronizing to me and I can't unsee it. Also, I don't like "serious" cartoons. This is just western anime.

    Divorce put me in a bind and I ended up buying a house in 2023 at 5.675% for me and my kids. I have no other debt and I invest a lot but fuck if it doesn’t feel tighter than it ever did before in spite of my “high” income. My kids like Fortnite/Roblox and NBA/Madden games. I’m 100% PC at this...

    There was a vending machine that sold these for a quarter at my middle school. You could trade them or pencil fight them. There was a whole economy around which teams were cool. The Chicago Bears were worth like 10 pencils, shit was nuts!

    As someone that holds actual gold and silver, I get it. However, most of my funds are held up in a Rollover IRA and ETF was really my only option for a meaningful allocation. I’ll be selling company RSUs in February which will give me a chance to add some actual BTC. Divorce really fucked my...

    I have ~6% of my portfolio in IBIT and 2.5/1.5% in BTCI/BLOX. Feels like decent exposure but I'll be adding another 5% in the next year in a 60/40 allocation in February (selling some RSUs when they vest). 15% feels like the right place for me. Anything else and I get nervous even though I have...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Something that really clicked for me before I started investing in gold back in 2015 was when I read that during the gold standard, a $20 gold double eagles were pegged to $20 of gold. I don't know why, but I had never really considered how much that affected my view on inflation when I realized...

    This exactly. As the numbers have gotten bigger, it’s like, did I just lose a car today? 😅 And yes, makes me fidgety. It’s a pretty great problem to have but I’m gonna close the app for a bit.

    I’m not that aggressive. I’m like 50% VOO and then a decently large position in NVDA, the rest in growth and tech ETFs but I’ve ridden this train before and don’t plan on retiring for another 10-15 years (I actually love my job). I’m not in any leveraged ETFs or any large positions that wouldnt...

    I used to not check my funds all the time, and when there was a big dip I’d just shrug it off. For some reason I’ve been struggling to not look every day and it’s really stressing me out. I feel like I have a solid portfolio, aggressive but not dumb and I just need to put my head in the sand for...
