That's right friends.

I dumped it straight into Coinbase before the money even officially cleared my account. As is denoted by the transaction being gray instead of fully colored black.

This is the first time I have ever considered doing a wire transfer to get the money earlier. In the end I opted to save the $10, but I'm certainly going to regret that if Bitcoin spikes >$8k That is less than a 1% fee to get the money 5 times faster, after all.

Oh well, let it ride!

Not like I've ever been good at picking a time to enter the market. Although with so many billions waiting on the sidelines it feels foolish not to enter ASAP.

It all started...

When my girlfriend said "Hey! I got my stimulus check," today.
I then proceeded to check my bank account and there it was.

Amazing story, I know.

I'd like to point out that I did my taxes on the 11th of April, and my girlfriend updated her info with the IRS about the same time. This means if I'm right about the money going out in order of who did their taxes first, pretty much everyone should have got their money today (or will tomorrow). Correct me if I'm wrong and mention what day you did your taxes, please. Of course who knows how long it will takes the physical checks with Trump's name on them to go out. What an ass.

Greedy Goblin

I can afford to throw down more money, as I still have some left in my bank account and I get paid Thursday and I already paid rent in advance a week ago. However, I can wait on that transaction, as I felt depositing the exact $1200 amount makes a strong political statement:

fuck fiat.

That is all.
