Talk me out of it

Throwaway for obvious reasons. My family is living in a small house in a crowded city. We want more space. I happen to be sitting on a bit of bitcoin. The exact amount doesn't matter.

If you could sell 8% of your bitcoin to buy a couple hundred acres of land, would you do it? I really wanted to wait until around $30k to start selling chunks of bitcoin to finance an off grid home. But life has thrown a few curveballs and my family needs more space sooner than later. While I firmly believe that bitcoin will be at least 3x in a year from now, having land that we own outright would carry an enormous value. It would allow us to start planning the build for our future home. I should also add that the wife really wants me to get this property. If bitcoin moons, I will have missed out on hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. But on the other hand, if that happens, the remainder of my stash will be worth a literal fortune. So, should I do it? Should I part with 8% to make the wife happy and have that peace of mind?

Not ready to go public? That’s the perfect time to think about going public

The disastrous failure of WeWork’s non-IPO provided not just a dramatic crash-and-burn spectacle, but also a valuable cautionary tale about how not to do an IPO.  Even if your company is not ready to go public at the moment, if there may be an IPO in your future, things go more smoothly for companies that begin the work well in advance.  As a financial manager who consults for public and soon-to-be-public companies, I’ve worked with organizations traveling along a well-planned path, and those with an IPO date looming and management panicking. Here’s what I’ve learned in the process.  Have a business plan that demonstrates a path to profitability The first tech boom clearly demonstrated the folly of having an IPO with nothing more than “a good idea.”  Now, especially after several high-profile IPO failures, investor sentiment has swung to favor companies that demonstrate a solid growth history and a clear path to profitability. Go disciplined or go home Ven...

Oh no!!! The price of BTC is dropping because of this and that. Who cares? I sure don't, because I am betting on the potential of Bitcoin as a medium of exhange in the long term.

I love how people don't get that many are super long on Bitcoin because they understand it will be how money is commonly exchanged in the future. It's not just speculative. There is no central authority and no one single company pushing it, so yes, so the development of payment networks, apps, infrastructure, and so forth is taking a while. Look at innovations like SegWit and the Lightning Network. These are only the beginning. The improvement of renewable energy should help with mining as well. As Mark Cuban put it, Bitcoin will reach the masses when it's so easy your gma could use it. Well, it's taking time, but the technology that will be behind bringing Bitcoin to the masses will be no more complicated than the technology behind paying with a debit card at the grocery store. You just don't think about it because they have boiled a system that reads a chip and then instantly transfers funds from your institution to another across hundreds or thousands of miles d...
