Anyone attempting to make strategic purchases and sales of cryptocurrency must contend with the fact that it goes up the day after $300m gets destroyed by accident.

I'll bet two years from now I'll be upset that I spent $25k worth of ETH on a Porsche. But in the meantime I'm driving a goddamn Porsche.

One never knows... if the bottom falls out, or if another coin takes off... and your $25k of ETH becomes worth $0.25 of ETH... you'll be the fattest, happiest, sonuvabitch out there... driving a porsche or otherwise. (I doubt that will happen - I'm still just mostly glad that you took the plunge and did something fun with it)

this has nothing to do with ETH, but...

...I bought the minimum car that had the dependability, performance and fun factor I needed for the minimum money I could spend. This has me in a fifteen-year-old 911.

And we wonder why the kidz aren't buying new cars.

Yeah and can we talk about the fact that this is a statement that anybody is able to make in modern society? It's still amazing to me.

Your statement makes me realize how far I am already gone.
