I'm not going all in retard. I have multiple six figures in a ROTH IRA and another six figures in my taxable brokerage (even after the latest bloodletting). I'm only tapping out my immediately liquid assets to the furthest extent that I feel comfortable doing so. And I still have several thousand in cash.

If necessary, I have plenty of credit to use to bridge the gap if I need to liquidate my portfolio to pay for things if we go to zero.

Thanks for your concern about my wife though. Gives me faith that not everyone on here is purely selfish.

As to what if BAT goes to zero, what if the banking system goes under and what if the stock market collapses and what if the dollar collapses and what if the niggers start urban riots and burn the city to the ground? So many things can go wrong. And all we can do is be prepared.

In a doomsday scenario, where we have to go full survivalist, I have 10 acres of vacant Southern California land (an inholding surrounded on three sides by 3000 acres of preserved land) with a well already. Plenty of deer, quail, etc. Also ready access to a coastal lagoon within five miles for fish, crustaceans, etc. At that point, I'll be very worried for my wife's health, but we will cross that bridge when we get there.

More realistically, if BAT goes to zero, I lose around 55k (a third of a year's gross salary). That's a kick in the stomach for my net worth, but it won't impact my quality of life one fuck. It's a comfier crypto investment than most shitcoins, and I have (some) faith that Lobes will deliver. But it certainly isn't my only investment. Worst comes to worst, we won't starve, my wife won't have to go without medicine, and we won't be broke.

Because Firefox IS shit by comparison. The CEO of Mozilla is just looting the company and killing entire important departments like bug testing and Q&A while giving herself salary increases. ENS, Tor private tabs, IPFS -- Firefox should have been the first to get this. Having Firefox around is important but the fucking company is throwing money at useless social issues instead of making a good browser.

No variance. It's simply agricultural land that a local nature conservancy surrounded with its own acquisitions. They had no interest in the lot because of a preexisting graded pad - good luck for me. Two preexisting neighbors, one is a survivalist and the other is a custom mansion. Both occupied by based white families. I bought it in June of last year. In the midst of planning (takes time with all the bullshit that the fire department and county pull) and (secondarily) waiting for local contractors to be more thirsty for work.

Also would be nice if my BAT would moon so that I don't have to submit my asshole to more usury than necessary. In the meantime I already have installed a solar pump for the well and planted my nascent orchard. Avocados, blood oranges, olive trees. Also dropped a salt lick at the property corner with a game camera to observe the local deer herd. More to come.

In that regard, BAT wicked low enough to fill my first ladder buy order. Couple more wicks down and I'll be well over 200k.

I like skinny bitches too but I’ve plowed many a Walmart whales in my day. It’s all about the angles you use if you have an avg cock. Ngl, I usually feel shame afterwards and I’m out the door within 10 mins after I bust.

Take that BAT from UGP and use it as a collateral for a highly leveraged long position. Everything would fix self if BAT got back into the top 20.

I kicked this one chick out after I fingered her and jerked myself off. She kinda hid her appearance when talked online. So I pretended I had diarrhea and went to hang out with friends.

It’s crazy how I run around like a fucking madman possessed before I cum, then once I bust a nut my whole mindset changes instantly. I’m disgusted by 90% of the women I fuck. Maybe it’s some evolutionary process. If you can stand to be around her after you cum she must be a keeper

I really hope Brave lost everything with SVB and are forced to layoff that tranny in HR, along with any lazy WFH Klingons, so they’re forced to pump BAT and beg advertisers to run ads to become solvent again. It’s time to man the fuck up and stop acting like frisco dykes.
