Better Investment: Bitcoin or Gladiators???

[Saharacane]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. They are being converted (all of the mods are reversible) into commercial Jeep tour vehicles for this summer season. They are not for sale. Just curious.

Why don't you give a shameless plug for your tour company? I would love to patronize a fellow Jeep lover on my next vacation.

My company is Telluride Offroad Adventures. 17 years in operation. We used to have Pinzgauer tour rigs. This upcoming season, we moved to modified Gladiators and a WranglerJKU.

Well the Gladiator is an actual asset, bitcoin, not so much...no offense to anyone enjoying playing at the crypto casino.

if I would have put the 20k I paid down the gladiator with into Bitcoin it would be worth 120k now... same with Tesla.

Both are only worth as much as their utility and while there's an inherent utility with a tangible good, a vehicle will devalue over time whereas many crypto are only going up due to scarcity. They have utility until they don't but until they hit that don't point, it's absolutely an asset even if it's a somewhat risky one.

Everybody said bitcoin would die... at $5, at $50, at $5,000... now it sits at $30k each and there's almost nothing that beats its return over any period in the last 10 years.

I mean if you want to be real, money in the bank is no more an asset than btc other than the fact it has the backing of the government. It's just as digital and non-existent in the real world because the money supply greatly exceeds the amount of physical cash by several orders of magnitude.

At least I know when the lights go out, I don’t have to worry if my gladiator is still there. I can stumble my way to the garage in the dark and feel around a bit and then give it a real big hug to know for sure I still have it.

Haha, your humor is on point! Investing in gladiators might provide a unique sense of security, but when it comes to financial investments, Bitcoin has certainly been a hot topic lately.

At the end of the day, a JT will always be worth ‘something’ even for scrap, but bitcoins is aether - nothing real.

 

[Free2roam]

I remember when Bitcoin was initially starting. 5$ a coin. If would have bought it then I could have retired many moons ago.

Regardless of one's opinon on crypto, it's documented fact that bitcoin has turned many people into millionaires. The only person that buying gladiators turned into a millionaire was a billionaire when he got into Jeeps.

Sadly, this old zombie thread was resurrected by a forum spammer. Time to bury it again?

My Bitcoin is currently up 360%, so I think the Gladiator probably has a ways to go.

if you'd have to spend it all on a replacement. Net gain is zero.

During the covid shortages I got constant offers for my Challenger, but never enough to replace it, considering there was nothing comparable to replace it with.

I once invested $10K into BTC when it was $16,000
I did very, very well.
Bitcoin and stay the course. I think it will hit $1 mil at some point.
Gladiators, ah, well...
But one is a lot more fun day to day than the other.

 

[Zachanadandy]

I’ve put money into both and honestly, the Gladiator’s been more fun and way easier to explain to my wife. Can’t haul lumber or go off-road with Bitcoin.

If you'd bought into bitcoin early, you'd only have to explain being a millionaire to the wife. You could hire others to haul lumber. You could be wheeling in a g-wagon if you felt so inclined.

I had a conversation with a couple of coworkers in which one brought up Bitcoin and Geofencing (sp). He said that Bitcoin had jumped recently and he thought it was a good investment. I think Geofencing is like an egg hunt where you look for things using a GPS. I wasn't interested. Bitcoin was $3 a coin at that time. The coworker just bought 1700 apartment units. I bought a Gladiator.
