Mr. Gib's lack of details on his condo, make it seem that maybe it is an Airbnb.  It does seem awfully clean.  Mr. A raises a good point.  This could be a friends place.   :-\

I have a cleaner who is constantly cleaning and tidying - comes an hour each day. But am also a very tidy person.  Will reply a little later to other messages and comments.

I agree. My wealth (or lack of it, depending on what you want to believe) is irrelevant to who is right or wrong on the various topics related to bitcoin.

If you read the whole thread you will see it was Mr A who brought up the topic of my wealth in an attempt to discredit me. He dug up an old post from 2010 on a “what’s your net wealth” topic where I stated mine was 6m and used that to try to show that my income could not possible be 500k per annum. I then explained that 6m in 2010 invested even at just tracking the US markets would have increased 250% until now (and of course if well invested and/or leveraged (which is of course what I did) it would have increased far beyond that. And then, if you take a conservative yield of say 2.5-3% it’s quite easy to see how 500k a year net income is quite feasible from the asset base I now have. Mr A then pushed me to post screenshots etc and various other “evidence” which I eventually gave into, to teach him a lesson :)

But again, I don’t claim that my prior financial success means that my views on topics are more valid than those of others.

As for your statement that my advice was reckless and dangerous, I have always only stated facts that are accurate. I answered below for you already.

Actually some do care about my profits and losses (please read prior posts).

As for giving advice to "suit my own interests" you are a naive idiot if you think that any advice on getbig, whether from me or anyone else, is going to influence the price in any significant way of an asset class that (at this time of writing) has a market cap of 123 Billion USD. As I explained before there are far far smaller market cap cryptos that I could "pump" if that was my aim. (Even Mr A would understand this and would confirm this for you if that helps). Indeed please read prior posts where I already addressed this comment.

Further, I actually did care about people who might follow my advice, hence my suggestion to not invest more than 1% in BTC of net wealth. Again, please read prior posts.

Further, many people made very good money following my advice, including myself (and indeed missed out on making money following Mr A's advice).

Further, everything I stated here is correct!

But either way, any time you read any type of investment advice, regardless of what forum, caveat emptor, do your own research, and take responsibility for your own decisions.

Hope that helps. Jealousy, idiocy, and lack of personal responsibility for making investment decisions of peace...

Nah, I'll wait till it's back to $100, maybe $50.

We are making progress. So you admit now that you would actually buy bitcoin at a certain price level? If so we will have made some major progress! Can you confirm please?

Mr Gib, do you own this condo or rent?  If you don't mind me asking, how much does something like this cost in your country?  I feel like my dollar could be better spent elsewhere.  Possibly South America, or somewhere in Asia.


Own (with mortgage). In USD I would estimate around 1.3m.

In terms of “my own country” I actually reside in numerous countries. Real estate is expensive in prime spots globally and also in many parts of Asia. However yes there are still many places where the USD goes a long way and you can live an amazing life but there is often a compromise (eg health care, education level, political climate, safety, employment opportunities, etc). And the counties where I have most my investments property is really expensive as is what tends to happen in low tax locations.

I am happy for you!  You're doing all the things now that I did 20 years ago.


Never give up... never surrender!


BLIPS TO 100K, then 1 MILLION!    ;D



Thank you! And we are not so different in age as you might think. But no matter what age we should all be living life to the fullest and maximising happiness.

I must say though I worked damn hard for what I have so I really feel I have earned and deserve the right to enjoy it :)

Absolutely stunning views from your apartment.  I know you previously said in your country, you don't pay capital gains taxes.  However, do you pay property taxes?  What kind of taxes do you pay on an apartment like this?  Very impressive by the way.  I hope to one day own something half as nice as this. 

Many thanks Twaddle.

I live, for tax reasons in a country where I pay no capital gains tax on stock or property (or any asset actually including bitcoins). But I of course pay body corporate fees for each apartment. In the low tax countries any land tax is very nominal.

But this particular apartment in the clip I use for perhaps 3-4 months a year and it’s in a country where I do pay land tax and capital gains tax of around 40% on the capital gain minus deductions (if I were to sell it). Whilst I hate the concept of such a tax it’s unavoidable (unless of course I rented). In many countries I visit I of course also pay goods and services tax on anything I spend (again unavoidable).

Let me know if this answers your questions. You will get a place like this if you plan carefully and work hard and smart with a long term goal in mind. I know is doable as I started literally with nothing. One day I might tell the whole story of my life so far ...

PS I take it then that the banking screenshot you posted a while back was fake? I thought it was legit!

Very interesting.   :-\  You say you own this condo and pay mortgage, but it looks strikingly similar to the "ULTIQA Air On Broadbeach" hotel in Australia.  Your furniture even looks the same.  Same rug, same coffee table, same little speakers, same television table.  I'd swear this is an ULTIQA hotel room.  Did ULTIQA sell you one of their hotel rooms?   ???

Furthermore, the following picture appears to be taken from a balcony at the Meriton Suites Broadbeach.  If you have your own condo, why would you be at the Meriton Suites?

Pretty good cyber sluthing!

All privately owned, but owners can put their units into a leasing pool - there is an onsite management company that manages all the leasing etc. So obviously a very good yield.

Here's a advert of one for sale: https://www.raywhite.com/qld/broadbeach/966647 - We usually refer to the condo as "Air". Ultiqa is the management company's name.

According to Mr.A it should've been dead by now  ::)


You've seen nothing yet, 20k was just a fraction.

Crickets from Mr A. Both on this thread on his “Dow to 10,000 then 1000 thread” ... :)

But rest assured as soon as we see a downturn in either he will back back.

I think this is the breaking point when Mr.A is shaking his head in disbelief and secretly reevaluating his old beliefs regarding this topic. He will probably even buy some, or already have done that, but won't admit.

Funny, but even 20k investment just a few weeks ago would've netted a very expensive and long holiday trip somewhere with a view like one from your apartment.
