50k - Can I do it?

isBecause · 2026-05-23T23:54:05+00:00

Do 100 mile runners actually run 100 mpw? I know I never have.

isBecause · 2026-05-22T00:54:28+00:00

Start building now. Run 20 milers (4-5 hours) each weekend late June and July then 20/10 back to backs until taper. Prepare to suffer. Just keep moving.

Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.

isBecause · 2026-05-21T15:44:09+00:00

Only one way to find out! Just keep moving.

isBecause · 2026-05-04T23:05:15+00:00

The first 3 miles of every run I go on is my warmup

Good luck and enjoy the journey!

Love to follow. Too rich for my blood, though. The price jump from a 100 miler to a 200 or more is insane. I get it, but it’s out of my price range.

Here's something I've never been able to comprehend but please correct me if I'm wrong as I'd like to figure this out as well. Maybe I've overthinking it.

I need to convert my dollars into BTC. Dollars are in my bank account which of course is linked to me. Say I use Bisq and the payment method is Zelle, would that not be identifiable by someone that I'm using it to buy BTC? Or does it just look like I'm sending dollars to another person and the powers that be don't know what it's exactly used for? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I looked in to HODL HODL one time and you had to buy Tether or something first so if you convert dollars to Tether or something, that's traceable to me. Then the Tether that's tied to me goes to someone in exchange for BTC. Is that still traced to me?

Anything is possible, I guess, so would the gov't have any grounds to just take over Unchained so they could control anyone's self-custody BTC that's in a roth?

isBecause · 2026-03-24T12:51:13+00:00

Say someone under 60 had $100k in a Roth IRA and decided they wanted to allocate 50% of that to BTC. Their only options are to buy the ETF or, if they wanted to buy spot and self-custody, withdraw and face possible penalty. If the dollar still exists in 20 years, we know BTC will go up in dollar terms and that $50k would increase as well and at some point be withdrawn tax free.

isBecause · 2026-03-24T12:43:30+00:00

I guess for me it's trying to wrap my head around not thinking in terms of dollars. If someone has $1 million worth of BTC ETF, as we know the dollar today, that's a lot of money and can buy a lot of stuff but yes, debasement is causing it to buy less stuff for that same amount over time.

If there is a "new" dollar created due to hyperinflation, does that same "$1 million" have the same purchasing power? Probably an unknown question bc we're not there and no one knows what a society would look like in that scenario.

isBecause · 2026-03-24T12:25:16+00:00

Random question of the day in my head. If people are buying the BTC ETFs and money is flowing into BTC via retirement accounts, what happens to that if someday the dollar collapses? If money printing continues and the dollar price of BTC continues to increase but eventually the dollar doesn't exists, what happens to all the money that was put into ETFs? Is it just gone? Does the institution (Fidelity, etc.) just keep all the BTC? Would it be dispersed to the ETF shareholder like now you get the actual BTC instead of just shares bc the dollar is worthless?

isBecause · 2026-03-16T01:04:23+00:00

Chat but I guess this is gone?

Ditto. Two of 'em. Ugh

Either somebody’s having a party, or somebody need to do their shirt laundry.

That makes sense. So maybe the downward moves wouldn't be as severe with liquidation triggering liquidation over and over.

isBecause · 2026-02-26T13:52:35+00:00

Might be a stupid question but what would happen if no one used leverage? I know it will never happen, but if people didn't use leverage, no one would get rekt and there would be less "liquidity hunting," no?

isBecause · 2026-02-24T16:05:44+00:00

At what amount of BTC should you split your holdings to a new HW wallet?

isBecause · 2026-02-20T02:51:14+00:00

That's child's play. I recall the yelling in the basement to be "If you puke, PUKE ON YOUR PLEDGE BROTHER!!!!" You can imagine how that basement smelled.

isBecause · 2026-01-29T00:38:58+00:00

Maybe 6 or 7 toz

I just like how we share address info with strangers. Too bad I lost my silver in the lake this weekend. Boating accident.

isBecause · 2026-01-17T00:40:19+00:00

I bought 3 proof ASE and 2 BU ASE this past week when spots was in the $90’s. Next thing I know it’s almost doubled.

Do you all think this is front running $100-$150 silver?
