So since bitcoin lost 50% value doesn’t that make it non-profitable to mine for a lot of people for whom it was previously profitable?

Dustoph posted:Ya, you sure sound like you know what you are talking about. Tell me more about your meat and butchering knowledge. Want to make sure I don't get ripped off buying high quality steaks when I could pay more for Costco ground beef. Man if you want to buy half cows for your one-two person household go right ahead, enjoy pre-paying for bulk cuts of thoroughly freezer-burned steak that you'll be enjoying for the foreseeable future. You don't need a degree in animal husbandry to see that it's something that only makes even an ounce sense in special circumstances, e.g. large groups, farm households, etc. For most people (such as u) it's just a BWM hipster gimmick.

Buying a half cow is not bad with money. Nothing is bad with money if it's for a thing you want and it easily fits into your budget. One of my friends has done this for years and their family of three literally eats all of it, every time. He brings actual steaks to tailgate with us, months after the meat was put in deep freeze, and they're delicious. As a derail I guess this is a perfect day for it, since the Bitcoin thread and Reddit is pure BWM and doesn't need this thread to point it out. Edit - To give a little insight, I will say that I assumed half-cow meat would be freezer burned, too lean, etc before I tried it. I typically never freeze meat, I just buy it and use it within a week - I'm picky, and too lazy to defrost. I was surprised at how good it was.

So to start with, you're going to have to buy a separate, large freezer just for the meat, fit that freezer in your household, then power that freezer. So if you're well-prepared in terms of equipment to take advantage of an abundance of meat and are ready to serve and consume dozens of servings of steak per week, it could be a decent deal under your specific circumstances. For the guy from the Reddit story it was pretty obviously another hilarious gently caress-up.

I don't think you're supposed to eat that much beef on a regular basis. I'm willing to wager friend and family aren't exactly the image of health Though neither is the rest of the country so beef on I guess E: wait, from your post, I parsed "they've been doing it for years" as "they've been repeatedly doing it for years, replenishing their beef drawer as soon as it empties out" and I'm not entirely sure why KingSlime fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Jan 18, 2018 |

They're not eating beef anywhere near every meal or anything. What got them started is his wife prefers to only eat cruelty free meat (or whatever it's called; I'm a carnivore so it doesn't translate to me), so his thought was to buy half a cow from a cruelty free farm so they weren't eating different meals most of the time - the nearest place that fit the bill was way too far of a drive to make regularly since they live in the middle of nowhere. Turns out the meat is delicious so they keep doing it.

All farms are relatively cruelty free. With abuse, the meat is tough and the milk doesn't flow. This idea that big farms (sorry, evil FACTORY farms) are just animal equivalents of Saw films doesn't match up with reality.

For the guy from the Reddit story it was pretty obviously another hilarious gently caress-up. You don't seem to know what you are talking about hoss. I bought my freezer on sale for $125 and it holds a quarter beef plus any other frozen items I need to store that don't fit in the kitchen freezer. You agree basically paying whatever market rate is for grocery store quality ground beef but instead you get mostly steaks and roasts with some ground Neff to round it out, and higher quality than what you normally pay at the store. My family eat a quarter beef in about a year give or take a couple months depending on what other protein sources were are buying, and if I remember to pull meat out out of the freezer to thaw out it also saves me extra trips to the grocery store. We don't eat dozens of servings of steak a week, nor would we need to because as long as it isn't a self defrosting freezer and the meat is wrapped properly (the butcher takes care of this part) you don't really see freezer burn.

On the other hand, the article says they bought when it was under $10, so it's really only $1.2m "investment". Still bad with money due to those liquidation issues, though.

It is true that as it ages it dries out and quality can suffet a little, but not much and 13 months is not going to be noticeably worse than 12. I bet you also toss out dairy that is 1 day past its expiration date without smelling it too.

Loans plus house note 1600/month. I maxed out my IRA last year and intend to do so again this year (self employed). I found a piece of land about 3 hours away that I really like. It's 20 acres for 28k, so it's not like the land can go down THAT much in value. I can pay cash if I put everything liquid I have into it (I can borrow from the IRA if I need an emergency fund until I build the fund back up). It has a nice creek running down it, has paved road access, power nearby, but is otherwise in the middle of nowhere, exactly as I've wanted. It's been a long time since I've seen a parcel of land with those features at a price anywhere near what I can afford. This land will basically be for fun, camping, hunting, and letting the kids experience outdoors from time to time. About half of it is a pine plantation, planted as such, and about 7 years old, so one day I can probably get some timber income out of it if I decide to cut it, though I may not. https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/5lpish/buying_cows/ Buying cows? posted:My sister thinks she is going to get rich because she buys or bought cows and when they have babies she gets the money from them?

I don't understand collecting stuff like this at all. Like once you've got a room full of a stack of boxes of Funko Pops... you've just got a room full of a stack of boxes. It doesn't even really matter what type or "rare limited release" they are, it's just a box in a stack of other boxes.
