Earlier quoted context omitted.

Have you sold them yet?

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.

This might not be the answer that you are looking for, but a good set of peripherals for my PC. A good mechanical keyboard, 3 decent screens, a stand to mount them up high and make room on my desk, and a few other smaller things. Those parts have done more for my career and sanity than anything else I could have spent my money on at the time. I spend 40+ hours a week at or around this desk, I want it to be comfortabl…

A good chair?

I was lucky enough to have gotten a good chair from my wife as a present already, so that didn't really apply to me, plus my list of stuff was already getting close to $1000!

Buying a 1 year commitment to my gym; I went from a bad cholesterol of 421 to 189. Amazing drop, 3 months in and I've lost 30 pounds and significantly reduced my A1C and other factors. On target to lose 100 pounds.

Did you change your diet at the same time or it was just gym?

Diet too. Dropped lattes in favor of Americano's. Stopped eating office snacks and eating really clean. Did the Whole 30 for a month.

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.
