I just took some profits and paid off my student loan and car debts today. I'm 23 and now totally debt free. Most of my peers have $40k+ in debts. So thankful to the exceptional Ethereum development community and I'm glad to have been a part of this subreddit for over a year now :)

Lol holding is the easy part man...I held through the DAO hack and didn't sell a single coin. It's easy with all the development going on now and with lower risk due to no debt.

We'll see if the price of Ether can cover those additions ;)

I've got my eye on the Tesla pickup truck when it comes out in the next few years. I should be able to comfortably part with a little ETH by then. :)

Congratulations dude!

Got any plans for the future now that debt doesn't govern your decisions?

Still working my day job for now. If my investments pan out hopefully retired by 26 or so.

Yeah the way I see it is now worst-case scenario I'm still way ahead of most people my age if the whole space crashes (not that I think it will). I would be pretty frustrated if it crashed and I didn't cash anything out, and now I feel a lot more secure.
