Would you sell Bitcoin for a Sheep hunt?

[Mac-Diddy]

Bird in the hand! Do you want to look at a desert sheep on your wall or not?

The sooner you have the experience, the longer you can cherish it!

 

[wildwilderness]

As someone that admittedly knows very little on the subject.

I say go in the hunt. I lost my mom when she was 49, do as much cool shit as you can, while you can. As long as you are good without the cost of the sheephunt go for it.

What do you guys think is more likely to happen. Bitcoin to get to $1M per coin, or Ethereum to get to 50K per?

Definitely see BTC to $1M before ETH does anything. ETH isn’t even close to an ATH, it’s not limited and many other alt coins faster and more efficient at transactions

I'd say HODL on to that Bitcoin, buddy! The market's still looking bullish, and it's likely to keep going up. You're sitting on a potential goldmine, and selling now might mean missing out on some serious gains. I mean, think about it you could potentially buy multiple sheep hunts in the future with the same amount of Bitcoin. It's a tough call, but I'd rather wait and see how the market plays out. Plus, you've got a good thing going with that Bitcoin stash, and it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to crypto. So, unless you're really itching to get out into the field in Feb, I'd say hold tight and see what the future holds for your Bitcoin.

Lots of good opinions, overall I am in a good financial position. Bitcoin was for extra cash, but now I can see its potential to be life changing….

The deal is with a very reputable outfitter I have hunted with before a couple times.

Price is in the low $50s. Not the biggest trophy area but 170” average rams.

Normal price is $65+ in this area. The better known trophy ranches and a chance at a 180” ram would be $75k+

I am in relatively good health at 48y. I should have time and health to hunt later, or on the flipside work a bit longer when I’m older to offset spent $ now…

I had invested in a crypto project before the big SBF crash. Didn’t have a clear goal with it, just jumped on a bandwagon. I remember thinking “if I could pay off my vehicle with this that would be cool” I had bought a 4Runner new, something I swore I’d never do, but COVID had destroyed the used car market in our area. Crypto was skyrocketing…I had 5x+ at one point, and clearly remember watching my wallet hit $47,000, enough to pay off the loan plus some. Same as you, I started thinking about what could happen if this just kept going up. “Life changing money”…I started thinking about my mortgage, not my car. Then my parents mortgage, early retirement, ect ect. One of my best friends is a financial advisor, and he kept telling me to “shave some off the top” Don’t have to sell out entirely, just shave off some upside when it’s in a good position. Should have listened to him…

Sounds like you’re in a responsible financial position, so this is all a gamble of fun money now vs fun money later.

No idea how much you’re holding, but if you could shave some off to pay for a hunt, I’d do it. If you had to sell out entirely, I’d think twice.

How do you even buy bitcoin

As a guy who regrets not going on a Dall hunt, multiple Dall hunts in the 90s. I would sell that bit coin in a hot second and take the deal NOW. I’ve nearly died twice in the past 3 years. There is NO predicting the future.

I am pretty happy that I saw the writing on the wall and do have a Fannin ram. Looking at him every day makes me very happy.

Bird in the hand…

Alaska Dall sheep hunt in 225 days, 10 hours, and 33 minutes...but who is counting. Can't wait. Training continues. Losing weight ain't easy like 20 years ago.

Best of luck with your decision. I would sign the contract and slap down the deposit.

I have never regretted any of the hunts I have been on and places that I have traveled. I have been very blessed, grateful, and thankful.

See you at the upcoming conventions. Happy hunting to all in 2025, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

I have a great last minute deal on a Desert Bighorn sheep hunt (to complete my slam)

Only problem is funds are tight at the end of year. That said I luckily own some Bitcoin I stashed away for the very purpose to justify my hunting habit

But as everyone with crypto knows it is a Bull market and still going up. HODL is pretty appropriate now! Depending what Trump does I may be able to buy multiple sheep hunts in 5 years with the same amount of BTC….

Would you sell BTC now for a sheep hunt in Feb?

It’s sounds like you reached your goal when you purchased the btc, congratulations. It’s hard to separate from investments once you reach your goals, especially during the bull. If it’s not going to clean out your btc holdings, which it doesn’t sound like it will, then go finish that sheep slam!

There’s another BTC thread, and it’s been brought up a few times all the cool hunts btc holders are going to get to do. No reason why this couldn’t be the first.

Make sure to post pics of your ram while wearing a BTC shirt

How do you even buy bitcoin

On most any brokerage or even in your IRA through a ETF format.

Don't sell, borrow against it, avoid the taxes and take advantage of the asset.

 

[HuntHarder]

Id sell that bitcoin in a heartbeat. The one thing you can not get more of is TIME. Lots of guys think of bitcoin as something that it is not. It is no different than a stock that is on a tear. FWIW, TSLA stock has beat bitcoin on the 5 year chart.... If you want to rebuy into bitcoin to replenish you stock after the hunt, do it.

 

[Folically_Challenged]

Yeah, I'm late to the party, but I only just joined the site.

Count me in with the folks who mentioned that tomorrow is promised to no one. Or the old proverb that, "the last shirt has no pockets."

Some estate planners once told me they explain retirement to their clients in terms of, "Go-Go, Slow-Go, and No-Go." Early on, people wanna get out & see the country/world. Later on, age/aches cause them to do less, and/or do it more locally. Eventually, people will be in no condition to go anywhere: Father Time, and all that.

I know a fella who's in an enviable financial position: ridiculous wealth, ridiculous income, a wife but no other dependents. His enormous house has a Ferrari and a turbo Shelby Cobra in the garage. Both vehicles are on battery tenders, and he can't stoop to get in either car. No-Go, indeed.

My observation is that sheep hunts occur at the conjunction of cash (can you afford it?), career (can you get the time off?), cartilage (can you get up & back down the mountain?), and constitution (do you have the intestinal & testicular fortitude to get it done?). Sadly, these items align for only a few. For them, the choice is to head to the mountains with profound gratitude for the precious opportunity, or to postpone the adventure, possibly having it appear as a lifelong regret.

As blessed as we all are on this site, there are likely very few of us who'd talk openly about our accumulated wealth. For sure, I doubt there are many of us who'd like to HEAR someone else talk about it. But I could listen to stories about sheep hunts all day long.

Just my $.02.

And yes... please post pictures when you get back!

I would in a heartbeat! (Coming from someone that does not have any BitCoin)

 

[SteepNdeep]

Yes! Go sheep hunting!

 

[lundellhunting7]

I did not read this whole thread. But I do know there are places you can borrow against your BTC. I would be doing that to go on the hunt!

 

[TheWhitetailNut]

I'd pay for it with a HELOC (assuming you have equity). At this point I'd much rather spend equity tax free than have a Tax trigger on $100k. If it starts to go down you can still panic sell it and satisfy the debt.

Financial assets of any kind are worthless until they are spent on or traded for some type of goods, services or experiences. They are just numerical digits. Tomorrow is promised to nobody. At 64 I know many who died before their time and never realized their dreams, including my wife of 40 years, at just 56 and my dad when I was just 15. There will always be opportunities in the future to make money on BTC regardless of its current price. Go on the hunt and enjoy life while you can...its fleeting.

Agree to disagree

I agree 100%. If you are set up to live comfortably financially otherwise, then spend the money and make dreams come true. My dad passed a few years ago at 62 just months after retirement. My wife's mom passed last year from a heart attack still working 6 months before retirement. I almost died 11 years ago at 28 from an AVM/brain aneurysm. You never know how long you have, so make the most of each and every day. Make memories and live your best life while you are still healthy enough to do it.
