Paarslaars

Dutch. My nickname actually means purple (paars) boot (laars). Long story...

In the quote I posted? English isn't my native language but my comprehensive reading is sufficient to properly understand his statement... He said it would be arrogant for someone to assume they are better than Buffet at investing in anything. That means he believes Buffet to be superior irregardless of the subject... That is ridiculous. And he has made the reference countless of times that Buffet thinks BTC is worthless... I am simply pointing out that even the great Buffet has been wrong plenty of times where others were right. I believe this is one of those times. The comment about Maxwell was a reference to his blind devotion to Buffet, not calling him a child trafficker or anything.

Wow he really made you drink the coolaid. This basically means Buffet knows more about investing in anything than anyone on the planet? Come on man, you idolize him more than Ghislaine did with Epstein. Buffet has been wrong plenty of times in his investments, no need to pretend like he is an infallable god... I would never claim it's stupid not to invest in bitcoin, plenty of other ways to make money. But I strongly doubt nobody has a more comprehensive understanding of it than you do.

With all due respect but this is extremely arrogant... Most people who own BTC have spend much much more time on it than those who don't. Those who don't have likely found one aspect of it not to their liking and put it in the 'not for me' or 'too hard pile'. So far, those who own it have been consistently proven to be right. Who knows what time will tell. For BRK in particular, I feel like not owning BTC is a bigger risk than owning it. They would do well allocating 5% of their huge cash reserves into BTC, even just as a hedge.

And you are too young to waste your life on threads you disagree with. Go out, have some fun, find a nice girl or guy that keeps you away from the dangerous crypto folk.

True I really don't own much EUR to be honest, most of it is in USD stocks or BTC.

Well for one, he is roughly 60 years of compounding ahead of me

Maybe good for us investors but bad for europeans who are stuck with this dinosaur... as if were not falling behind enough.

I hold a large MSTR position.. so proceeds as the process is quite the rollercoaster.

But that would kill the use case for BTC and therefor their own incentive to do this?

Anyone want to explain that in layman's term?

Yeah going to be a red day today.

It also makes no sense... Why would the talent leave US when talent is finally getting rewarded instead of gender or race? The only thing Europe is getting is the DEI crap. And please keep that in the US, we have far too much diversity already.

Got a laugh out of me.

Haha Greg one upping us with his private investment In other news it seems the SBR is still on the table:

On top of that, I have a daughter with a rare genetic condition who is hospitalized often. She requires a series of medications and tons of check-ups as well as physiotherapy etc... Not that I have put in the work to actually look into moving to the US but considering typical doctor and hospital visits, the deductibles and non-covered items would certainly be a heavy cost on top of the health insurance costs. Here in Europe my net cost for all of this is essentially zero. I'm not the biggest fan of Europe and definitely not the current policies... but considering my personal situation I do believe I'm better off here for now. But who knows, 10 years of compounding later this might all change.

Yeah I would move to the U.S. but your healthcare system would bankrupt me.

ITM leaps create leverage... If you know you are right on the timeframe, it seems like an easy decision.

Tempus AI up 20% already premarket.

Fixed that for you.

You're right Luke, if I were you I would take a huge short position on BTC right now. This is just meme bullshit, there is a Tiffany coin out now as well. I get a coin, you get a coin, everybody gets a coin! Has nothing to do with bitcoin...

God I hope that is fake kinda embarrassing thinking that could ever work, his name becomes completely worthless in 4 years.

There are certain limitations. Basically they don't want to tax the good household dad. So if you hold stocks for +/- 1 year or longer, gains are not taxed. If you do more speculative trades, it is taxed in theory but in practice only if you make enough money with it that the tax department notices. Dividends are taxed at 30% though.

Tax on capital gains in Belgium is 0 (so far), government is looking into it though.
