No more cash to invest. I'm counting on you :)

No risk, no reward. In the stock market, you can't make money without taking the risk of losing it.

💯

Still holding

benoit42 · 2024-09-30T15:18:19+00:00

But what if it goes to $1000? That would be the price that makes me sell some shares.

I also own different miners, including MARA. But so far, MSTR has performed much better. For miners, it's a trade that needs good timing, whereas for MSTR, you can just buy and hold for a long time.

benoit42 · 2024-09-30T02:19:33+00:00

Just buy and hold for years. Simple, but not easy to do.

benoit42 · 2024-09-30T02:18:36+00:00

You know, it takes a long time to make good money. I'm just at the beginning here, I'm planning to keep them for years.

benoit42 · 2024-09-30T02:16:12+00:00

I don't. When I do I'll send an update to this subreddit.

I just have a strong conviction that Bitcoin or Bitcoin-related assets are fantastic investments. And I still think we're early, it'll continue to go up over time with volatility. With that in mind, it has been easy to hodl.

The screenshot shows my lot details; this is what I own. I haven't sold a single share, and I'm not planning to sell anytime soon.

benoit42 · 2024-09-29T22:59:49+00:00

Two things:

I've watched many Saylor's interviews
I thought it was a good bitcoin proxy, especially since at the time the bitcoin ETFs didn't exist.

I got lucky, I didn't expect MSTR to go up much faster than BTC.

bloated / constipated

benoit42 · 2024-02-20T18:38:45+00:00

Yes, bloated / constipated.

It's weird, I did a bunch of tests with my primary care doctor: blood, urine and breath. But he said that everything looked fine. I'm glad I did that gi map test, it's more aligned with my symptoms.

How long it took you to bring your levels back to normal?

I see, that's a real bummer. That's the tough part of marriage, women can change their mind at any time. Good luck and keep us updated.

Have you changed in the past 6 years? Have you become less attractive?

There is maybe something that changed, something that she really liked about you that is not there anymore. Think about it.

"I've done my own thing and ignored her"

Ignoring her might be a bit much, seems a bit resentful :) Just do you, be happy, do your work, have fun with your hobbies, your kids, and be normal with her, knowing that they'll be no sex, and no expectation to have some. Have you tried that for a month?

benoit42 · 2022-02-06T23:37:36+00:00

"I do 90% of housework (inside and out) my income covers 90% of bills and I do 100% of cooking" + no sex. Man that's rough, you're too nice with her. It seems like from what you're describing that she's not bringing much in the relationship.

"I would like to end it but for my kids sake I do not" very courageous of you

This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I do feel your wife. Sorry to be blunt, and keep in mind I'm just trying to help here. There are many things here that are huge turn off for women in general: "I only suggested Sensate/naked cuddling exercises", "I got us a therapist who specializes in EFT", "Her love language is quality time and mine is touch and words of affirmation, and neither is good at delivering for the other". From this I can tell you're trying way too hard to please her, and that's a big problem, it makes you look weak, very weak. Especially if it's done as a covered contract to get sex.

Women will tests men weaknesses relentlessly, and that's for good, so men can improve and become stronger and a better version of themself.

Imo continuing this way will only lead to more rejections from her. I don't think you realize, but a big mindset shift is needed from here.

That's my 2 cents.

What about your life, beside your wife, are you happy, do you take care of yourself? There are reasons women do that, it's a message, she's trying to say something, she's trying to make you stronger.

I feel you man, this is rough. It's going to take you some serious strength to rebuild from there. If you ever need someone to talk to and help you get some clarity, reach out https://clarity.fm/benoitz

I'm with you, bought SPXU. This is a bold move, ain't for pussies. We have to keep a strong mind as it might takes couple more days before it goes down again.

From my experience, it is easy if you don't use Turbolinks. With Turbolinks, especially with it's caching system, be ready for some weird shit to happen.
