Sold Porsche for more BTC

Hi guys- Just a little story to share here. I've been a major car guy my whole like really. LOVE German sports cars. I've had a Porsche in the garage since about 2012 or so. Five different ones total. So I've recently become a BTC convert. I've bought in pretty heavy after reading everything I can get my hands on about Bitcoin. Not to mention the hundreds of videos.

So a couple of months into this I start looking at the Porsche completely differently. Instead of this shiny silver beauty sitting in the garage, it's now looking like a huge waste of money. A depreciating waste at that. This particular car I'd waited for for years. It was my "perfect" car. I bought it just last fall. So here I am in the spring of 2021 with what amounts to a melting pile of money in the garage.

Luckily, this particular car is rare and sought after. I was able to sell it to my local dealer for just $1K under what I paid for it. Pretty minor loss in the car game. With that money now back in my bank I'll be allocating some of that to BTC.

The main thing I want to point out is how BTC has changed how I look at money. In the past, I've been very careless with money never saving anything. Now owning a true asset like BTC I look at money in a whole new way. I want to retire one day. I can always buy an expensive car in the future. Maybe after I retire. For now, I'd rather just save.

thanks for reading-

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

https://preview.redd.it/vli0ofqwf6w71.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a704c47375637858c27216379ae8313dadf8be8 This could be a long read. Kindly bear with me. I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
