    One bitcoin is worth more than one ounce of gold

    As of this post, one ounce of gold = $1228.80; one bitcoin = $1269.24.

    My biggest regret right now is not buying 1000 bitcoin back when SirGonzo420 told us all about it years ago, back when a BTC was a few bucks, less than one ounce of silver.

    Bitcoins are fictions.

    Dollars are fiction.

    Silver is real.

    Gold is real.

    Things join with like things. The imaginary join with the imaginary and the real join with the real.

    Corporations are fiction. They love to collect and distribute FRNs.

    The Federal Reserve is fiction. They love to control other fictions (corporations).

    Fictions are created for a reason. Once you understand the reason you can opt out (or opt in). You choose.

    Take a look at your birth certificate. Likely it says you were born into a municipal corporation somewhere. Nobody lives there.

    Then you will really regret it when you see a couple more zeros added to them. Me too

    Well, that sounds good with words. But right now you could trade 1000 bitcoins for mansion with acreage. Property is very real, so I'm with madfranks. I bet sirgonzo is living the high life!!

    Truly you can trade one fiction for another just as one illusion might cover another illusion. In the world of observation waves don't exist. They become particles instead. You can think of the wave as a fiction and the particle as reality but it was the observation that brought the particle into being.

    When you purchase that mansion you are buying into the previous owner's illusion (or you are being infected with his delusion).

    Yeah, I feel your pain. I should have invested in Microsoft back in the mid 80's. We all have missed opportunities in our life. We just carry on and hope we hit on the next one

    Honestly, I think that's why he left the forum. He was probably the earliest champion of cryptos on this forum; and when they skyrocketed, I bet he cashed out and like you said, living the high life right now! I wish he'd check in and let us know how it feels to be a bitcoin millionaire!

    I sure hope that's the case. I always liked sirgonzo, he just seemed like a straight up 'real' kind of person, a guy you could relax with and have a beer.

    It would be great if he checked in. I'm thinking positive, he cashed out of bitcoin, owns some gorgeous yacht with bikini babes and relaxing in the sun in the Bahamas.
    life is good.

    If I had a 1000 bitcoin, I'll just skip the philosophy and be happy with the trade for a mansion and acreage. I'm a simple guy, I'd be content with that.
