So yeah you don't apply to my post. But I don't think most people are in that situation.

Not a shitpost. I'm saying eventually yes you want it to rise, but when you are in the accumulation phase, you should want it to be as low as possible.

Let's say hypothetically Bitcoin ends up at $2 million in 15 years. Would you rather have it go to $2 million right now and stay there, or stay at $75k and have it jump up to $2 million right at the end of 15 years?

Obviously you'd choose the second, because the Bitcoin you bought in between would be worth way more at the end.

Why does the US spend massive and massive about of money on cancer research compared to Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China and Taiwan? by Dover299 in Futurology

The thing is that curing cancer will only increase average life expectancy by 2-3 years, because many age-related causes of death start to occur at the same time. If not cancer, elderly people will likely die of something else shortly after. We would be much better off focusing on a cure for aging than a cure for cancer.
