Druff is the type of guy who is so afraid of failure that he can't even stand himself. His biggest fear in life is having to enter the workforce and be productive once again. It's great for him that he doesn't need to work but I couldn't do it personally. In other words, Druff is the type of guy who needs to be in cash AKA the money market.
I'm not talking about you or I.
I love when people make idiotic statements about me, like the above, and have no clue what they're talking about.
Someone who is risk-averse wouldn't have played poker games wiith high-5-figure swings during the poker boom, often in spots where there were 5 pros and 1 donk at the table.
Did you bother asking why I bought 0.1 BTC? No. You just jumped to retarded assumptions about it.
I bought 0.1 BTC because the exchange I use requires a "cleared transaction" (which takes 30 days) before they up your limits to buy any sizable amount of coin. I want to be ready to buy a lot if I see a good "jump in" opportunity (and no, $800 is not that), so I bought a tiny amount just to establish my limits higher. I didn't care that $800 wasn't the ideal entry point, because I was risking a whopping $80 maximum on the whole thing.
Who said I never owned real estate? I simply told a few stories about times I could have bought but didn't, but never made any statements as to when (or if) I actually did buy.
The only thing you're correct about is the fact that I don't want to enter the workforce again, but that's because most jobs suck, as you are a slave to someone else's hours, deadlines, and projects. Sure, there are some wonderful, interesting, well-paying dream jobs out there, but they are few and far between. If I got a job that I truly enjoyed (such as running a legalized online poker room), I would be happy to do it, but most jobs are just a means to supporting yourself. How many people truly look forward to going to work? It's really more of something you have to do rather than should want to do. I do understand that certain people derive satisfaction from regular work, as they both feel productive and avoid boredom. I don't feel bored or unproductive without working. On the contrary, I am happy that I get to spend this much time with my son.
