Abstract Equilibrium

I drove a car that leaked oil for 3 extra years to delay "selling my btc when it can pay for a new car".
Folks similarly throught I was being lazy and/or insane. Meanwhile, I'm weighing the value of removing a drip pan from our garage asap vs the value of the scarcest asset in human history!

A lot of people have heard my moped story, but heres the math on it.
In 2016 I needed $5,000 to pay my wife’s master’s school tuition.
I didn’t have $5,000 cash at the time, but I did have bitcoin.
Bitcoin was trading at roughly $500, so I would have had to sell 10 bitcoin in order to pay the tuition.
I didn’t want to do that so I sold my car instead for $5,500.
I took $500 of that and bought a shitty moped and used the rest to pay my wife’s tuition.
So I rode the moped around the rest of the year and everyone made fun of me. Usually I play this part of the story up, but tbh it didn’t bother me. The people making fun of me were poorer than I was, they
