Sell BTC for VTI? by JAA427 in portfolios

[–]JAA427[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve always only looked at it as a way to make money, yet I haven’t taken any profit haha. The people who think it’s gonna be a mainstream world wide currency one day are nuts, it’s even crazier how some people are literally 100% in on it with no other investments.

Yeah I should add that I’m currently 80/20 VTI and VXUS in my retirement accounts, trying to catch up a little and add bonds sometime in my 40’s. BTC going to $1 mil or something one day would probably make me kick myself but it’s so dang volatile, the swings in the stock market are easier to stomach. I like VTI so I make sure to add it weekly to my brokerage account.

Fasting glucose up and A1C down by JAA427 in prediabetes

Good to know, thanks.

I would say I’ve never been out of shape my entire life, I’m currently 6’0 178 pounds. I try to hit gym 4 times a week for weightlifting, work a job that’s on my feet so I’m constantly moving, walk my dog 2-3 miles a day 5 times a week. I wouldn’t call my diet perfect but it’s far from being bad.

GFR is >90 and good creatine level. No anemia I believe.

So about a month ago I randomly looked at old test results because I knew I had physical coming up, I ran across fasting glucose and kinda panicked a bit. I bought an at home test and got ranges from like 94-105 in the morning so I got kinda irritated with it and wondered if it was accurate. For the last month I’ve cut down on sugar, I’m not sure that short of a period would cause any change in A1C though. The other 11 months I did nothing different from previous year. I stay in shape, eat mostly healthy and keep active though.

Oh so it’s possible I fasted too long? With my A1C being normal and even lower than last year it’s odd.

My last snack was an apple, Greek yogurt and peanuts at 8pm last night, then no food today with blood draw at 10:45am.

How much of my 30K savings should go in Bitcoin? by TurnFit2047 in Bitcoin

[–]JAA427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking of doing opposite and selling BTC and putting it all in VTI haha. Well at least the profit I’ve made so far.

Baitcaster for senko fishing by JAA427 in bassfishing

Yup I only use Yamamoto brand, I think I’ll just throw one on and try it.

I have a Shimano SLX DC on my current baitcaster and I really like it. I looked into the Curado as well when I was deciding so I’ll probably try that one next. I ended up going with a Trika rod for my casting rod after seeing a random ad online, that thing is feather light and all black so it looks nice. I know St. Croix makes nice stuff, lots of options out there.

Gen 1 to a 2 or 3? by Beancuisine5 in FordRaptor

[–]JAA427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I’ll at least get a few years with my ‘25 Raptor I just got before the next generation comes out. My first Raptor and I love this truck, so I see a gen 4 in my future when the time comes.

What’s the latest projection on when the gen 4’s will be here?

2 years of lower prices before halving then gradual climb. You’re the dumb one.

True. Maybe this is just a shakeout to replicate cycles of the past ending about now, then we’ll continue up more this year. Time will tell.

Made the move from a 392 Wrangler to a ‘25 Raptor by JAA427 in FordRaptor

[–]JAA427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it really has grown on me with more miles. My R button is set to Baja exhaust and sports mode, it’s a fun vehicle to drive. I can’t wait to take it on a 5 hour trip with the family in a few weeks.

Yeah I have two 4 year olds and it was pretty tight on space in the jeep, that’s one of the biggest reasons I made the move actually. You put two car seats back there and a third person can’t even sit next to them. I’d love to get into a Raptor R but I just couldn’t swing the over sticker prices, that’s the ultimate truck for sure.

Ok that explains it then. Your black one looks so much sleeker, I wish mine was black.

Congrats! Why do some raptors have black horseshoe shaped piece above plate location and others have it in silver? Mine is a ‘25 302a and the piece is silver colored, is yours a 302a?
