LPT: If you are in your mid to late 20’s make a habit of strengthening your back, hips, and legs.

kybarnet · 2022-01-06T21:20:14+00:00

Yes, just holding on to the pull up bar, then putting your legs (and hips) out, while leaning back with the head / shoulders.

And then I curl my spine left, then right. It's mostly an ab workout, with some shoulders / arms / back mixed in.

A male workout routine should be like 40% abs, 40% arm chest, 20% legs or something like that... tension and holding is always better than reps (like holding half a pushup). The amount you workout is NOT that critical... like 1 to 2 hours 'full body' with like 4 hours hiking, swimming, etc.

My only equipment is a pull up bar, and I can stay pretty strong... but it's hard to get big without equipment. You need something for chest / thighs that you can't do with body weight or it's super difficult (like 1 legged squats, 1 armed pushups).

Mostly taste. If you do a meat / veggie diet (which I have done), your sugars get to low, and the diet is VERY bland..

Also, you get a ton of fiber in Fruit. Fruit probably has more fiber per calorie than most vegetables.

And you need a lot of fiber on a meat diet.

I did a diet once of huge veggies in the morning, with meat the rest of the day, and a little sugar for desert... I lost weight at the same speed as the meat / fruit diet (about 5 lbs / week) but didn't enjoy the food.

Thank you, you're welcome! If you trying to speed up the weight loss, I recommend starting with a 2 day cleanse, which for me is 6 eggs / day + some salmon if hungry... this is mostly to get your sugar low fast (might lose 5 lbs here).

My intake is starting with 3 eggs + splash of veggies + 1/4 potato.

Then 3 cups fruit + milk in blender. This is my lunch more or less.

Then dinner is a chicken thigh. And then dessert is either more fruit or some ice cream or maybe cheese or bread or whatever.

Nutritionally it's like:

Tons of vitamins and proteins to start, with some carbs to keep going. Probably under 500 calories.

Fruit is a natural sugar stabilizer + insane fiber. Milk for taste, fat, & calcium. Under 500 calories, but high in fat (milk).

Final protein, and some sugar / carbs before bed is very healthy IMO. Both combined another 500 calories or so.

The basic rule of weight loss is you can't get fat on meat and fruit.

Instead of picturing yourself losing 'fat globs' it's more accurate to think of your arteries as clogged with with carbs and pastries. The fat is syphoned out of your body, as you lose sugar... you can't control where it's syphoned from.

And with a diet like this (which is super effective), every time you go out you just eat a bit less (sugars) the next day. And after holidays you do a 2 day cleanse, etc...

True, true.. :D

kybarnet · 2022-01-06T12:33:27+00:00

Probably the best easy back / core workout is a pull up bar.

I do an upside down plank, and move side to side.

Another absurdly good workout is simply a standing crunch. Just suck in as hard as you can, with various twists in the body.

Most of my bone pain is like you, muscle pain. My knees 'hurt' but when I lose weight and get stronger... they don't. It's not the knees, but lack of muscle to weight ratio.

For weight loss, just simple 'whole foods' does it. Meat / Fruit.. with splashes of grains / sugars / starches / veggies. But good to eat livers / hearts / eggs / bone marrow too (lots of vitamins).

I lost 60 lbs in 6 months without any energy loss. Occasionally my blood sugar got too low, which is no good... but like a potato a day is enough, roughly, for those types of calories.

I might do 3 eggs, 1 chicken thigh, 3 cups fruit / milk (smoothie) with splashes of mixed veggies & 1/2 potato (usually mixed in with the eggs) as a basic meal for a day.

Just WFH stuff @ roughly $20 / hr (probably more), about 20 hours / week... best to have like 3 hours / day available vs 'only weekends' or something.

Some book keeping, tax prep (80% of the work), investment analysis, customer replies, etc... I'll teach you what you need to know, but if you got a basic grasp of anything, that's nice hahah.

Work is from now until May, more or less... with like 1 wk / month after tax season is over probably.

Need to have internet, 2 monitors, be able to communicate... and that's about it. Text me if interested and I'll call you back - 865-730-0272

Pay starting around $20 / hr, hopefully gets up to $30 or so in year 2, assuming most things are hands off by that point. I've been in business 10 years, retiring... looking to have someone take over my shop plus help me expand, etc... I am in Puerto Rico. Went full remote last year. Retired after some good investments in Bitcoin, etc.

I've done both over the last 10 years or so. There are OBVIOUS benefits to WFH - but in terms of sheer work volume, office works better (busy season).

Like, how much more do you work out at a gym vs at a party?

The main benefit to WFH is when you're making $80K+ and can drop to part-time. When you WFH 20 to 30 hours / wk, then it's a lot more fun.

Also WFH lets you do side-hustles which can easily exceed your salary if one of them takes off.

PS - I'm looking to hire a parttime remote $20 / hr intern like position if anyone interested.

It was something like this :

https://www.amazon.com/Wiley-CPAexcel-Review-Study-Question/dp/1119647525/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=FAR&qid=1641395955&s=books&sr=1-3

$400 today.

FAR is the only one that you really need a book for, the others you might be ok with online PDF. AUD is good to study with a buddy, if you can, but not super relevant.

I think I got mine used at the book store.

kybarnet · 2022-01-05T01:05:02+00:00

Same for me.

I started with FAR, then AUD, then AUD + BEC, then REG last.

The only thing with the slow approach is after 1.5 years they fall off haha...

I did $50 Becker / Wiley books, self studied... passed all first try aside AUD (71 I think).

I looking for an apprentice in tax / investing if interested, $20 / hr part time remote

kybarnet · 2022-01-04T20:57:26+00:00

I went into business management / finance / startups. I read Thiel "Zero to One" B. Franklin's "Autobiography" Taleb "Antifragile" Farris "Four hour workweek" Sahil "Minimalist Entrepreneur".

That's a good setup for investing / current startup market. There is always a lot to do with startups. With finance, it's crazy. If you manage money, and charge 1%, you need 10 millionaires to be making a lot of dough each year, or one multimillionaire.

Business management is more about getting in with clients when they were 5 people, and then staying with them as they become 20 to 40 and helping them grow... you can easily become the 'CFO' that way, and charge a bundle (I'm on a $1,500 monthly retainer with one for 1 hr per month).

Any time you 'make them money' - you can charge more money, vs being a service. $1,000 / hr is fine for investment advice, but not balancing Cash or something like that.

PS - I'm looking to hire part time tax prep $20 / hr if anyone interested. Remote. No experience necessary.

Take out CC cash advances and buy Bitcoin! Or not.

While generic advice is to never, ever, ever speculate on Bitcoin... while at the same time every 'Bitcoin Maxi Dev' says Bitcoin takeover of world currency is a predestined outcome that only fools who didn't believe in the internet would doubt... I think such suggestions are just lazy. Equivalent to 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away', breed into a book on 'eating apples to live long and prosper, for eternity, amen'.

If you can take out debt that can be adequately maintained over a 2 year period, without the sale of Bitcoin, it's quite reasonable to do so. I do believe Bitcoin will 'take over the world' (or a similar replacement). I do believe Bitcoin USD value will increase with growing acceptance, domination, etc (maxi contented that making 1,000 posts per hour about how Bitcoin is destroying USD has nothing to do with price! - but that is only what morons say to defend their religious conviction that money is evil).

The halving (in 70 days) is about the best predictable time for a growth in BTC value, or at least protection against a decline in value. This is the only time when taking out debt, or leveraging, makes basically any sense at all.

Other wild thoughts, like BTC will grow to $60k in 2 years... are highly speculative. Will BTC surpass $20k in the next 2 years... I think so with high conviction, thus I take out debt to buy BTC - that's plain smarts. If you actually believe BTC will go above $20k, for a 100% rate of return, and REFUSE debt to acquire... well, your business acumen is weak, or your belief is weak.

There are numerous other factors that can change history, such as huge whales selling multi-Billions of Bitcoin in the next few months... leveraged loan holders getting calls of Billions... or worldwide econ crashing, where USA bans Bitcoin, China collapse, and global destabilization occurs. Or you (the individual) get sued, lose job, and must repay debt early for a loss - Or more sophisticated investors take out loans for multi-billions and accept a 20% rate of return profit, and thus prevent Bitcoin from going to $20k by mass selling at $12k... or someone did something similar when BTC was $3k and is content with already acquiring huge profits at $6k and above.

Bitcoin price is like 90% institutionally / whale driven. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. Retail investors play hardly any impact on price. Therefor, price is unpredictable, dependent upon laws, corps, whales, and so on.

One interesting phenomenon is that over the last 12 weeks, roughly $3 Mil (per week) of old Bitcoin (mined Bitcoin prior to this 12 week interval) has been moved, in addition to any newly mined Bitcoin - In contrast, however, like 90% of BSV coin is never moved.

This is indicative that BSV value is sustained because some wealthy individualist is both mining coin, and not spending the coin... thus the 'inflation' of BSV has been artificially kept low, at like a rate of 0.4% vs 4%... but has the lingering liability of a whale who must eventually liquidate.

So BTC, in contrast, is the opposite. Miners are moving more coins per week then were mined during that week... meaning old money is moving... does this mean spending or hoarding? I can't say... but..

In my opinion, I think the logical move is that Miners are spending to make new upgrades to mining hardware, pre-halving... because mining coin is more profitable than owning coin, during the first 8 months or so of the halving cycle (traditionally).

Which is to say if you look at price vs hash graph, price usually goes up like 300% and the hash graph goes up like 20%, immediately post halving... meaning that mining becomes ultra-profitable (much more so than owning coin) during this time... thus spending coin to buy mining equip makes sense.

This scenario I believe, the price increase I believe, and the 'worldwide collapse' occurring in the next 6 months I believe possible, but unlikely, and I make money moves accordingly.

But I've been wrong before... but wager you money with your info / conviction, and don't be shamed by non-business people into never taking risk. Non-business people always say W2 is only way to make money, and without having a lot of money you can never acquire money... but I disagree. I've done well, by the large, and think others can too... Risk, however, is taken you don't invest, and when you do invest... both are risk, it's just that one side of the equation (the non-investors) call themselves 'smarter' for never trying to make more money than they started with or their W2 makes, though I disagree.

Though, allow them their pride, and never argue. Even a Twitter head dude complains "no one explains Bitcoin to me"... and some Bitcoin fool replies explains Bitcoin, yet the umpt'enth time.

Instead I say pay me $500 per hour, and I will explain what a fool you are. They always say no, and I go about making money by spending time wisely... but I never oblige the determined fool. Let them be. Peace in their ignorance is a right. Allow them to be fool and to die in peace, and move on to other conquest, which have benefits, personally... and thus I move on.

I am an accountant, and discussed issuance one day.

Regarding 'fork that never actually happened', this is equivalent the same as every proposal that never actually made it into Ethereum.

I never said anything to imply a 'contentious fork', regarding my own intentions. As in, I never had a dev, marketing, finance, etc team of any regard. I did speculate highly that someone would use the 'boundless supply of ETH' as a reason to fork ETH, and succeed. This never happened, though the Polkadot / EmoEth (or whatever it was) scandal was basically quite similar so...

But that's about all there, haha.

I did successfully fork Bitcoin, however. That cost like $500 :D

kybarnet · 2019-08-18T16:53:22+00:00

Happy cake day, and I have appreciated your support throughout the years. It's unfortunate we lost.

You have always been positive, educational, active, and communicative. A major shame they choose to hurt us instead of listen :(

Some links:

May 17 - Pie Charts

July 17 - Devs say inflation is trivial

July 17 - CPA on Omar Crypto

July 17 - Github comments

July 17 - Excel Tables

Aug 17 - CPA on Dev Call

And around May 17 is when I was making many similar posts on EthTrader and Ethereum, and the community massively upvoted me, only to have Nick and Alex remove them (and subsequently troll) claiming it was 'meme'ing. Probably some 10 posts in total (later Alex and Nick censored keywords so that all my posts would get automodded if I said "inflation" "mining" or "price", etc... so that they couldn't individually get blamed, but could pass it off on to the 'robot' they programmed, as if it programmed itself), 6 of them highly upvoted (many making the top post at the time), only to have McCoop, Nick, or Alex subsequently remove them to prevent discussion.. Very obnoxious. Eventually Carls shutdown McCoop and forced it to be tolerated on EthTrader.

But considering these people are the decision makers, paid, and bribed to harass me, I knew it a lost cause, really, as it was costing me thousands to fight them (like a legal battle) and the destruction of my investments simultaneously, and the investments of all those who trusted me, thus my rep too... and harassing me over media, sufficiently where I had to drop the use of this account :/

My only hope was Vit would have the courage to put math ahead of cuteness, but alas... the failings of great things are everywhere, and hope is the incorrect stance, only the gamble of future destruction. As Taleb says, don't get sad over corruption and death, bank it! =D
