Sold one coin today to put a down payment on my house Yes I know Bitcoin will keep going up much faster than a house But I saved it and waited 2 cycles so I can finally escape the pod I've lived in for 20 years I've never owned a bbq or had a yard or a garage Thank you Satoshi

Bitcoin IS money. This means that you use it to save the returns from your labor and spend it in due time on whatever it is you want to buy. Yes, it will continue to go up, so what? Bitcoin won't be money if we don't treat it as such: save what you can save, and spend what you need to spend.
Congrats! My hope is to sell some sats in the future to an individual for his/her property. I hope to hold out until I can do this. But I’ve owned my homes for decades and it IS the best feeling! Happy for you!
Very cool, congrats. I might do the same but my Bitcoiner brain tells me to wait one more cycle and then just buy the house outright. Damn you Satoshi for creating the hardest money the world has known
Well done bitcoin is for saving purchasing power to invest in the future. A house to live in is an investment on your life, your family, your future, your independence and freedom. That is what #bitcoin is for. A farm, a business, agricultural land are all worthwhile assets in which at some time everyone will have to convert some of its bitcoin. Congrats👏 👍
Man, that's huge—congrats on escaping the pod and stepping into a new chapter with a house! I get it, HODLing through two cycles is no small feat, and using those gains to secure a yard and a garage is something to celebrate. Sure, Bitcoin's gonna moon, but having a place to fire up a BBQ and call your own? That's living the dream. Satoshi would be proud you turned his vision into something real for you.
