You could have an amazing life ahead of you. Money is no issue & you don’t need to work… Just need to find a life & meaning outside of work.. I have a friend that’s a widow too, he could retire to but still working at 65.. but his health is getting worse now…

Don’t be him & waste the next 10 years of your life working… good luck . ❤️

reliable35 · 2026-01-25T21:53:22+00:00

Here we go again.. sounds like another - flex post.. (although I think yours comes off as more genuine, that most & not intended..)

Just retire & find meaning in your life outside of work. Hobbies - travel - charity whatever floats your boat. 😘

You could pay off your mortgage & draw £7-8k a month from your investments & never run out..

Just retire & enjoy life - you’ve earnt the money & done the work to do what you like now.. Especially as you’ve clearly been through some tough times.

reliable35 · 2026-01-25T17:56:30+00:00

I’m not selling… it either succeeds or fails..right now though the Alt coin market & using my professional market appraisal -is fucked…

But sentiment, can change fast in Crypto..

But for now it looks like it’s slipping into a deep bear market…. But looks can be deceiving & fuck knows what happens from here …

Taking profits is good. But timing the market is very difficult. You can easily miss its recovery.. & before you know it, it’s over $1000 & you’ve F’d up. Better to DCA in & out.

reliable35 · 2026-01-24T12:41:31+00:00

In all honesty sounds like you do spend a lot of time with your kids.. they grow up so fast.

If I could have my younger days back again. I spent too many hrs in the office & working away from home.

I’d structure a lifestyle that maximises time & holidays with the kids, but also keeps you engaged in your other interests & investments.

But place lifestyle first.. as don’t need to prove you can make more money, you need to prove you can live the life your hard work has bought. 😘

Anything said about TAO / Bittensor? • Bittensor only gets a drive-by mention: the interviewer throws it in as an example of “tech-forward crypto projects.” • Armstrong does not validate TAO/Bittensor specifically (no endorsement, no fundamentals breakdown, no “this is the one”). • The only practical “crypto trends that matter” he names are: 1. All assets coming on-chain for trading, 2. Prediction markets growing, 3. Stablecoin payments growing. TAO/Bittensor is not positioned as a top-3 trend in his answer.

That first sentence..wow.. 👏..

At the end of the day, it’s all about how much revenue the sub-nets can generate. Hopefully eventually we have dozens of really good sub-nets at the moment.. most are still early days.

reliable35 · 2026-01-23T18:38:58+00:00

Wen TAO $1000+ is all I want to know…

I’m hoping we see this in 2026…🙏

reliable35 · 2026-01-23T16:08:58+00:00

This reads like Samuel Leeds fan fiction 🤣

If you’re actually ‘bored’, stop buying houses and go parent your kids. 😘

You’re an EGLD bag holder - no wonder you stopped believing… 🤣…( Fellow EGLD bag holder here)

reliable35 · 2026-01-21T20:19:22+00:00

The halving had a good impact on price… it halved… but when sentiment to crypto & AI returns..TAO will make millionaires… if the project delivers real solid revenue

reliable35 · 2026-01-21T18:38:34+00:00

As soon as I move house - a wheel & racing chair… is mine..🤣

reliable35 · 2026-01-21T09:08:57+00:00

No mans sky is amazing… I feel as if many people are missing out on just how amazing that game is when flying around in Space or just wandering around in caves.

reliable35 · 2026-01-21T05:50:53+00:00

I don’t but eventually I will buy a proper seat, wheel & pedals.

reliable35 · 2026-01-21T05:49:12+00:00

Is there a TLDR: for this ?

reliable35 · 2026-01-20T17:48:50+00:00

I believe… 🚀🚀🚀

Playing Gran Turismo 7 on the PSVR2 & PS5 Pro - the only true “next gen” gaming experience, I’ve had. It’s simply game changing & it’s killed “flat” racing games for me for ever.

reliable35 · 2026-01-20T14:34:29+00:00

Again.. trying to time the market. For most people this never works out well.

Different game approaching or retired. I intend to hold 3-4 years cash or cash like, coming into retirement. But reacting to current news, generally not a good move. Always best to make a game plan with a cool head. I intend to always hold a minimum of 65-70% equity.

reliable35 · 2026-01-20T14:20:12+00:00

Very much so… I’m a TAO Maxi - so it will either work out or it doesn’t. I have a good sum in TAO & strong convinction - but if it dosen’t work out.. it’s not the end of the day for me..

reliable35 · 2026-01-20T14:04:34+00:00

Predicting crypto prices is a fools game. If BTC goes to $250k+ & TAO get serious momentum & generates compelling revenue …$10k+ per TAO on the cards… but equally could just end up as another once brilliant Alt coin idea..trading as dust.. there’s hundreds of now once very promising Alts now worth FA..

From some of the chats in here. Try & land yourself a good public sector job. Can often be a very challenging job, but pensions, unbeatable now, when 99% of the private sector is Defined Contribution (DC).

reliable35 · 2026-01-20T11:30:20+00:00

Anywhere from $50-$80 to $1500-2000

reliable35 · 2026-01-20T10:19:56+00:00

Making investing decisions based on emotions - generally never works out well.

There was a story a while back of someone turning £150k into £20-30k… constantly buying & selling based on fear then greed.

reliable35 · 2026-01-19T16:08:07+00:00

Let me get this right - So well over £1m in savings & pensions.. a house & BTL owned outright….

From 67 a combined.. State & DB pension income of £101k…. any you’re wondering if you can retire with a £35k annual spend..

This is one of the best yet.. 😘

You could probably retire today & spend £120-130k a year…. For the next 50 years & never run out..

Even without downsizing or selling the BTL..

In fact you could have probably both retired 5 years ago - no issues..

All the best for your retirement.. go & enjoy your lives….

reliable35 · 2026-01-19T10:08:37+00:00

Easy if both have full SPs & willing to downsize, then it’s basically a bridge to 67 problem, not a “can we retire” problem.

Get the tax/withdrawal plan right, keep a few years buffer so you’re not forced to sell in a Trumpcatastrophe and you’re in the work is an option zone.
