I have just been to a holiday in Bali, Indonesia. I went there to relax by the beach and practice surfing. While there I took a group surfing class. In the group I found a surfer dude from America.
This surfer dude and I hit it off and became great friends because it was clear that we were both interested in bitcoin.
We had dinner afterwards where I learned that he lived according to the motto "own bitcoin and rent everything else." He works as an analyst in Boston and owns no home, car, or anything. He has zero debts. His philosophy in life is to own very little except bitcoin and to only live off 4% of your bitcoin every year (he is applying the 4% rule normally used for stocks and bonds to bitcoin). He is a bitcoin minimalist in that he owns virtually nothing other than bitcoin. He is both a bitcoin minimalist and a bitcoin maximalist. It is a contradiction that makes sense.
Afterwards we went to Ubud to do some yoga and eat vegan food. This surfer dude was picking up really nice slender yoga hippie girls and bringing them back to his hotel room. I was in awe of his confidence around women, and these were really nice girls. Of course he has already had a vasectomy. He claims that he wants to be childfree to help the environment. He even told the girls that he was childfree and a commitment phobe by choice and he is anti-marriage and the girls didn't seem to mind at all. They say girls want commitment, but this guy is anti-commitment by ideology and everyone respects it.
I am not gay or anything, but I really admire this man and his lifestyle of complete and absolute freedom from all obligation and ownership. I want to live similarly but I have much more money invested in fiat (probably 80% fiat) and therefore I am not as wealthy as he is because he is all in bitcoin and has been since the early days of bitcoin.
It seems as if bitcoin gives you one single investment you can own. It is the perfect investm ent and it works everywhere and it is a global borderless investment free from corruption by governments. Everything else in life can be rented so that you live a life free of all obligation, responsibility, or commitment, a life free from all wage slavery, a life of complete freedom.
