did you lose* them yet?

any more details on this? been hearing from some of my bullish friends that the earlier they got into bitcoin the more likely something "odd" happened to them.

Besides having more time to lose them, the farther back you go, the less they were worth, so there was less reason to be careful with them.

one week on a dating site cost $1000?

Yeah, there’s this dating site that charges $1000 memberships, but all the people are super attractive, wealthy, and looking to get married. Actually with sales tax it’s a little over $1000, but close enough. It’s super selective, though, and I signed an NDA so I can’t reveal the URL or the name of it. You’ll just have to take my word on it.

Wait, so they do the Fight Club thing where you can only find it from word of mouth by close people? How do you find this kind of place?

Not that I'm interested in finding it, I don't care, it's pure curiosity now.

My 1 year Krav Maga membership, a self defence system. Went from heavy smoker, no-cardio-at-all-person to feeling confident because I know how to defend myself, picked up running, swimming and regular body weight exercise on the side. Looking and feeling pretty good nowadays. More energy, brain activity, focus. Defo most bang for the buck.

Similar, I put down a $1000 for a year of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Doing something like that is a lot more fun and life changing than just lifting weights at a gym.
