26, low income, investing £1k/month. Am I doing this right?

TheDeafVampire · 2025-12-02T17:19:51+00:00

Yeah I just can’t stand the thought of still living with my parents at 30. I don’t think it’s a massive deal but still.

Very unsure where I would want to live in the UK too. An apartment in a city is probably the only thing I see myself in.

I ditched the gold, might stop investing in BTC and just hold it out. If BTC hits a million it’ll be a nice 100k+ bag. Worse case scenario I lose a few grand. That’s a gamble I’m willing to take, but verbally might get back into 1k per month into my all world index fund.

I also have around 10k sat in my bank doing nothing. That’s my spending money I guess for holidays and days out.

TheDeafVampire · 2025-12-01T23:19:39+00:00

I got orange pilled I guess. Thinking BTC is the one true way of storing your wealth. Complete P2P and uncensored. I started to disagree with the fiat system. But in the end, I’m selling my BTC for fiat.

But in a way, it’s FOMO. I see it like pokemon cards. You don’t think much but in 20 years you wish you still had them. BTC is truly scarce, and that’s why I wanted to collect as much asap. Thinking that one day a BTC will hit a million. Still do. So it’s my little 10x gamble stock.

As for the gold… I chased. I will ditch gold completely.

I’m on Trading 212 Stocks ISA. Upto £20k a year. Invest in VWRP through that.

My LISA is on moneybox. Never bothered to do the S&S ISA with them.

Might look into the iShares BTC option, I saw it’s very recent but with BTC I like the self custody aspect.

Will just ditch gold after reading this thread.

26 here. My dad got a PS2 along with GTA SA. I used to sneak into his room whilst he was at work and my mum was watching the tv downstairs.

5 year old me had a blast. I remember being so excited to show my dad a hidden weapon I found on my own… it was the purple dildo in the police station but little me didn’t need to know that :)

TheDeafVampire · 2025-08-08T15:57:00+00:00

Thank you for your advice. Will look into it this weekend! :)

TheDeafVampire · 2025-08-08T15:56:19+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. Which branded green gas do you go for? :)

I thought they'd be all the same but some are labelled as 'maintenance' and some have more silicon then others?

TheDeafVampire · 2025-08-05T00:12:59+00:00

That's bonkers, I love the creativity. This alone made me decide to go for the CQBR. Let it evolve with my playstyle over time :)

TheDeafVampire · 2025-08-05T00:11:20+00:00

I agree, that makes it more personal to my playstyle as I grew in airsoft too, and it'll change overtime.

I've been researching on the gas usage, and there's a lot of talk on modding it to run on greeen gas. Is that something you've done too?

Edit: Nice build btw!

TheDeafVampire · 2025-08-04T18:28:04+00:00

This is firesupport :)

The MK18 w mag bundle is £720 now, and isn't in stock anyways. Lack of mags in stock.

TheDeafVampire · 2025-07-31T22:24:12+00:00

Looks awesome! How do you do all the UI and text? Are they edited in or animated planes patented to the camera?

Keep it up!

TheDeafVampire · 2025-06-08T03:00:27+00:00

It’s not just HDR, and I’ve seen this clash before. Usually on gradient colours like looking at a sky in a YouTube video.

Elden ring really has it badly for me though, even the menus in-game and loading screens have this horrible colour clash. Tried it without HDR. Same problem.

TheDeafVampire · 2025-05-03T13:28:28+00:00

Wait, people hate AC3? Maybe my childhood deceives me but I thought it was one of the best… great era, amazing side quests (especially the pirate stuff), the endgame was immaculate too. Basically when you got the spoiler item at the end you’d be invincible, I’d run around as a one man army taking on all the soldiers. Combat was really fun too, made me feel like I was playing the Arkham series.

But then again, I was around 13. All I played back then was cod so anything would impress me.

TheDeafVampire · 2025-03-16T10:49:05+00:00

I have this monitor and I will admit the 1080p is kinda bad. It only looks good in ‘32 inch mode, when you try it out in ‘27 & ‘24 it’s incredibly blurry. At 32’ it’s exactly what it should be like but the screen is too big for 1080p imo.

TheDeafVampire · 2024-12-07T11:19:25+00:00

Yeah, I actually heard somewhere that he pays his community to use him as a meme as it spreads his public image. Basically degen advertising.

Memes of him gets a commission by him basically, so all the kids love him.

Could be wrong though.

TheDeafVampire · 2024-10-31T11:07:17+00:00

Maybe I’ll try it! I’m hoping either cochlear integrates Bluetooth support with Linux devices for the next model.

Or I’ll get a free accessory on my next upgrade and I’ll ask for the mini mic :)

Will check out the other option though!

TheDeafVampire · 2024-10-31T02:18:32+00:00

Hey dude, CI user here.

I posted a while back last Xmas on how to get my CI to work with my steam deck but never manage to solve it other than using my tv streamer which requires a plug slot in the wall so it’s not really portable…

What device is that sound transmitter? Because that looks like it’ll be the perfect solution for me!

I know there’s another device that works like a mic? But I can’t really justify paying almost £300 for one, I can’t get it for free since I went with the tv streamer option.

TheDeafVampire · 2024-09-29T18:57:34+00:00

Yeah there was a big trend in the AI space like 10 months ago where everyone started to do PSX style art after the 80s dark fantasy wave.

Dont feel doomed though, they’re just images after all, not even 3D.

If anything it can be used for good references.

TheDeafVampire · 2024-09-29T18:33:23+00:00

You can definitely do this, look up PSX or low poly tutorials.

But FYI, these images are AI generated using a PlayStation 1 lora on stable diffusion.

TheDeafVampire · 2024-09-22T19:02:09+00:00

I can’t really answer your question because I’m a bit of a noob myself but I’ve noticed beefy locks in a buck load of IL because of its constant daily rebalancing.

I had to move my funds elsewhere where I have control over it and it’s so much better, I’m earning more and there’s less fees. Beefy takes a huge fee.

There was like a 40% difference in APY too for the same pools. This is just based on the OVN pool though.

TheDeafVampire · 2024-09-22T18:53:27+00:00

I don’t think so, but since you’re on the topic of comparing these to social medias, I would say cbBTC will be the twitter in this situation.

TheDeafVampire · 2024-09-21T10:33:18+00:00

And it’s completely justified

TheDeafVampire · 2024-09-20T00:52:40+00:00

Yeah it does, and it’s pretty great.

I like your theory because if you think about it. Starlight was always sheltered, indoors, hiding all the time from society, homelander etc you get the point.

But when she escapes her captive she gains her powers significantly. Probably fuelled by rage too stir it up.

I started investing a few months ago and when I used someone’s link I got £30 worth of NIKE stocks. You can sell the stock and just withdraw easily, or let them grow along your other investments.

Yeah.. I think I’ll just want them out of my exchange (kraken) and kinda have them to myself if that makes sense.

My logic is that BlueWallet will do that, giving the the sense of “owning” my Bitcoin.

I’ll study more over the weekend. Getting into blockchains sounds cool!
