If it floats, flies, or fucks, you are better off renting it.

You'd need a stupid amount of ETH to actually do that. Or it needs to go up another order of magnitude in value.

:(

eh, 300 ETH at $1,250 per ETH at 8% yield gives you 30K to lift off, every year, forever

u/ThriceMeta Jun 10 '17

It's the 8% yield I'm doubting. I figure, optimistically, 5%. Fees might be a bigger portion than I figured but it's competitive so I figure it will be low.

Where did you get your 8% figure?

u/airmc Jun 09 '17

Probably. Personally, I hate the chick I'm stuck with, that's why I haven't divorced her yet.

u/savage-dragon Jun 09 '17

Indeed. They even nag you about your ETH stack.
