You did not gain $50,000 by any measure

Lol, don’t bother. If you paid a cent more than $100,000 for that big, beautiful house, the damage is already done. The damage that’s still to come is no longer avoidable, thanks to your genius idea of trading real money to a stranger for GP.

Wait, wait, you think rapid changes in the valuation of your personal home are a good thing and you live in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA? I hope to god you have no dependents so nobody has to grow up with the memory of what’s going to happen to you after the market corrects in the next year or two...

God, you’re fucking dumb. I’m not sure you even understand what a mortgage is.

If you think it’s natural for the value of money to... oh, right, you don’t actually know what currency manipulation is, because you’re a rube who turned all your savings into chickenwire and Disney Dollars

Why do people think having a single, volatile asset instead of a stable portfolio is an accomplishment just because you made that kind of mistake without even being able to blame it on encroaching senility like a normal?

Damn, those some extremely frictious transactions you’re describing. If only there were done type of commercial financial institution that was better at this you could use instead...

Oof, that’s a pretty stark portrayal of a deflationary trap. You don’t know how money works. Never try to manage more that $1000 on your own, ok bud?
