RE: Planning a golden crypto retirement
Im 29 and im thinking about buying some sweat rims on my car. Not retirement. lol
But planning is indeed smart. What i do is diversify. Not much else you can do. Maybe the 50 EOS i have will one day be worth 100 times my STEEM now. Same goes for other stuff i hold. Maybe the 10$ of Obyte will be worth a thousand times my STEEM now. Maybe DAGs are the next big thing.
You can never know.
The only thing ill never hold is BTC. (Same reason i dont drive a 1908. Ford T) lol.
I don't care much for cars other than one day having a full electric.
The good thing with crypto is what is held is personal and easy to change. I don't have much BTC for likely similar reasons but I do hold a little for what I consider the short-term :)
One more quick poke at BTC.
Mass adoption? If given a choice from a number of cryptos, do you ever pick BTC as the best option for your transaction.
The answer is no and never ever. Haha.
Was looking at Tesla because of the hype but the car seems very impracticle. You have to charge him for 18 hours at home. If you dont own a house but live in an apartment dropping down a 20 meter cable from the third floor isnt an option. It has a maximum diatance of like 400 km.
A full tank of gas gets you 1000km and you refill it in 30 seconds.
Electric cars are still very far from being practicle. Would buy one though to show off haha.
Mass adoption from institutional hypers is possible.
My car gets 550km on a tank now. (Honda civic).
This is Finland so... My parking spot (I live in an apartment building) also has a charging point (they use it for engine warmers) so it isn't an issue. There are fast chargers at nearly all service stations and nearly every shopping centre and supermarket has electric car parking spots, many offering free charge. I rarely have to drive more than 200 km in one trip and if going further than 400, I would likely stop for a coffee anyway. The infrastructure is developing all the time. Then, with changing battery tech, the next battery could click in and double the range, though I wouldn't bank on that.
And they are fast AF. :D
Its the charging time thats a huge obstacle for me. Even the supercharger takes more then a hour to charge. And 400 km you can cover in less then 3 hours on the highway. So its 3 hours driving and 1 hour waiting.
We are still a way off from them being practical. Ive listened to a few owners talk about the charging and doing road trips in a tesla.. It gets annoying really fast.
Ill still be waiting to see them make a bigger breakthrough.
They are fast AF though. Haha.
