You must live in a different world to me.

Yes mostly. There is no benefit of it being in the bank only negatives. It's lots more than a few hundred. I could live off my cash for several years if required, in saying that cash is not a great investment either rather just a necessity, I prefer Gold, but Gold is a pain to manage. The rest is tied up in tangible appreciating assets and small crypto investments just for fun.

Chances are it will recover to at least 30-50 cents I am hoping eventually it will go back to $1, I always keep some tucked away. Still have 50 million shibs waiting for something to happen.....Was buying 2-3 million a week for a while when they were cheap. Small investment for potentially good returns. Keep some BTC but as you likely know it's not doing much at the moment....

Are there any plans to restore TerraClassic USD?
It seems like they need a mechanism to burn a lot of LUNC. I still have my LUNC staked and it is still earning LUNC & USD But Terra Station won't let me stake any additonal LUNC however.

I also have all my LUNC staked and earning just over 8%, more than any bank is paying. ![]() Not sure what the future holds, I am just holding on to mine, if they go to zero I have not lost much, if they return to even 1/4 of their original value in the next year or two I will be ordering myself a new Ford Raptor if they go back to their pre crash value it will be a F150 Raptor ![]()

I do it regularly with CBA,ANZ and NAB in Hobart. I withdrew much more than that, hence the notice by phone. You have changed your story a little bit now from 20k to your money...but that's ok..... ![]()

Interesting conversation you are having on a public forum... about withdrawing 10, 20, 50k regularly at multiple branches in HBA.. Sounds like your line of work may be of interest to State and Federal authorities

When he said "Try it, walk into your local branch and ask to withdraw $20,000 from your account" he meant try walking in unannounced and with no notice and try to withdraw $20k...his point being if there was cold hard cash for all the money that supposedly exists then you should not need give 2 days notice (any notice) that you wish to withdraw $20k. As you said yourself, you had to give them 2 days notice to get that amount in |

YEP...and I called BS on it. You are misquoting me of course, which doesn't help. I said this.... I also said I can walk into at least 3 CBA branches in Hobart and withdraw up to $50k without notice... CBA not being able to supply $20k is absolute dribble. (Maybe in some stupid 2nd or 3rd tier bank but not any of the big 4.) The biggest inconvenience by just lobbying in is you might get 50's which are a pain.

ATO said to me that it is sound business practice to use cash. On a one hundred dollar note it says .. Legal tender throughout Australia-Philip Lowe. (Did you notice it no longer says "and its territories"?) But that is off topic,...so.... What does it say on a Bitcoin ? ![]()

Some nice gains on Crypto again in the last 48 hours, in profit on all my investments at the moment.
![]() Should I sell or wait for the bull run for my F150 Raptor?? I think I will wait, patience is the key here. ![]()

Bought some Shiba Tokens back on the 17/6/22. Up 48% return on investment this morning, like always I wish I bought more.
![]() Not a bad interest rate over a months. ![]() Love how people call it a sh!t coin, all about timing, patience, research and a bit of luck.

I don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't bet on horses/dogs etc, don't go to the casino, drink in moderation, don't have any debts, that $50 is play money and so far making a nice profit. Still holding another 50 million hoping they will really go up one day if they only reach $0.01 it will be a lazy US$500,000, even at 0.001, will be US$50,000 for a small investment. If they go back to their old high from earlier this year will be US$4300 for $400 investment. Even with the current poor market the token is still 83.21% up over the past 12 months. Considering my bank is giving me less than 1% on my savings it seems like a good deal.

Not about love, it's about making money.
He likely made millions (billions?) selling off SOME of his Bitcoin, Bitcoin will be lucky to double in the next 1 to 2 years in the current market (only guessing, but hard to make substantial gains with bitcoin at this stage), while other crypto will (might?) double in the next months or two, like Shiba for example that jumped 50% in the past 4 weeks and might 10X or 50X or 100X in the next year or two, it might not, but you can pretty much guarantee that Bitcoin won't. He is probably one of the smartest people out there (love him or the him) wish I knew what he put his bitcoin money into, I would probably put a few $$ there as well.

Oh Zilo, you are forever the positive human on FF. I'd take you out for a drink if you lived in Canberra, but i'd pay in BTC of course.

Everyone makes money at the expense of others, that's how money works, for someone to have more money someone else has to have less money. Unless you do what our Government does and just print more as needed.
Not sure what is reported where, fact remain he sold some of his Bitcoin for a sum around the Billion $ mark and he still kept about US$ 250 million in Bitcoin for his personal investment. Give or take a few $$ on these figures as that is only what was made public. I doubt that he put a Billion $$ of his own personal wealth into the companies that are paying him money. Seems counter intuitive. He is drawing a wage from those companies not investing his personal wealth into them.

Yes and No, he draws a wage as well as bonus payments from the companies, which is widely known, however what he did with the Billion $$ generated from the sale that would be guesswork at this stage as far as I know it has not been disclosed.
My guess is he diversified his investment into something he deems more profitable. As I said massive increase in Bitcoin value are unlikely within the next 12-24 months but again that is also just a guess and I may well be wrong. I think he sticks to his own products.
