Hey guys,
It wasn't until recently that I started investing more prominently into different cryptos. I played it safe and basically just earned what I could on Steemit, not wanting to invest a lot for fear of losing it.
A couple of months ago, I decided to dip my toes into the crypto investment world and now I have quite a portfolio.
I have nearly 1 bitcoin, some Eth, LTC, I rack up BAT through the Brave browser. I am very intesterested in Stellar Lumens and feel like it has promise. I also own Ox, Dash, Tezos and ETC.
I have never had much money.
I was dirt poor growing up and even my everyday life now can be a struggle. I am solid lower middle class/ high lower class, but I will worry every month about bills, insurance and my kids having what they need.
I have heard whispers of BTC going up to as much as a million, and I can't even really process that in my head.
It would take me nearly a lifetime of working to make that kind of money. So the idea that a simple one-time investment could potentially rake in that kind of dough just by HODLing is superbly mindblowing.
MIND BLOWN
Now granted, there is still a very small probability that this will happen, but even if I don't become a millionaire, I at least get to see John McAfee eat his own dick, which should be great fun.
What I am trying to really figure out is what I would actually do if I had anywhere near that sum of money.
I have actually put a lot of thought into it lately.
I would love to become self sufficient and have some land of my own.
I would like to own my own water source via a well, I would like an orchard with producing trees, a small cow, some goats, a boatload of chickens and maybe even a horse.
(Be still my elementary school heart.)
Granted horses are not 100% vital, but if everything collapses, I will have my own food, water and transportation. I mean, who could ask for anything more?
I also love modernity however so I would want to live close enough to a city to make use of hospitals and such, but I wouldn't mind living out in the sticks a bit.
I have also looked into Tesla batteries to power a home.
If you want to be truly self-sufficient, you have to move yourself away from the grid as much as possible..
I won't say that I am a prepper per se, but like, it is never bad to be prepared. I have a giant aluminum vintage ice chest that I have saved to use as a faraday cage to protect back up phones and charges from an EMP attack. I also make sure we have enough dry foods to get us through a good long while without having to venture out. I imagine that would become more expanded with a larger property.
Getting back to the Tesla battery though. They are about $3500 each, but you would need three to run your home at the average that most Americans use. You would also have to get solar panels, which Tesla has made to look just like roof tiles. How freaking cool is that?
Between solar panels, well rights and dig, batteries, animals and land, I would be looking at about 500k for everything.
If bitcoin hit 1m, I could have my farm and then some, so to speak.
It is an exciting freaking prospect, but also a considerably volatile investment.
As always, I hope for the best and prepare for the worst, but man would it be cool to own a horse.
What would ya'll do with 1 million smackeroos?
Let me know below!
Thanks for stopping by!
