The bike pictured is from 1981, I restore them for fun.
When the petrol tank is finished and a front headlight fitted, I could sell that for £12,000 to £15,000 but I will not sell it. I have made loads of bikes this last decade or two, most in my spare time, kept over 40 of them. #bikes
I paid £1000 for that in bits, boxes of them, it came with spare parts, the spare parts I sell at times, so that bike owes me around £200.
This is another I restored 3 years ago, they currently sell for around £4000 although this one not ever being used may go for a lot more, still not selling it.
They both reside in a farm house I do not use, I just work on bikes and store some there.
I digress.
I can restore a bike depending on weather and parts supply in a week, the return in monetary terms is huge, 1 week, £10k is easily possible.
This brings me to a reply to @lucylin or #lucylin. Blogging on here, hive, steemit is for me a hobby when I have time.
I farm too so do not have huge amounts of spare time, plus raising a 11 year old daughter and supporting a wife, well it all takes time.
I have never liked the 10 votes a day logic, you only get value at 100% charged, then it decreases as we all know with each extra vote.
I do not have that time luxury.
I do not like being locked in neither, be it 4 weeks, be it 13, no time to react to markets.
I like the Bastyon model of interest rather than upvotes. Interest being paid on what you have deposited, the rest is purely social on there, and it has the largest growth of any blockchain/social-media to date with new people per day.
So with this in mind I will propose making a new site, with a cooperation in mind. I do not have as I said the luxury of massive amounts of free time.
Github which I have a membership to has all the code anyone needs to make a new blockchain site, so does other sites.
I am open to the idea of part funding a new site, with the relevant investors, possibly #ctime possibly #mmmmkkkk311 or anyone else that is freedom of speech minded.
I could throw in millions of my TPY token also to be used on a new site, it is based like here on steemit code.
I would be interested in a new project, but not interested in control of what people write, do or say.
I am willing to invest money yes, I would pay for a website yes. I have www.blurt.vip still if anyone wants that? No charge as long as you use it not sell it.
Most of my fields are now harvested so soon yes I do get a lot more spare time, but then I homeschool as some of you know, plus ferry my daughter to private classes for swimming, guitar, singing etc.
I also get the pleasure of picking fruit this month, grapes, tonnes of apples, the land giveth me a plenty.
And then there is my bike addiction, with open fields and no crop to worry about ruining, the beast comes out to play a lot, named KTM EGS300.
So yes I am open to new ideas, part funding them, but limited on time.
If anyone has new ideas for a crypto blockchain without chains like 10 votes and being locked in for months, I am willing to listen.
Some of you have my email like #frot, some of you have my phone number, some of you have me o different sites, I will tidy that up with a new/fresh email address and publish it soon, yes, I am open to making something new, something vibrant, though need help due to time constraints/life.
I am thinking along the lines of end to end.
Making a site with built in ways to cash out instead of having to use coinbase, bittrex etc, get rid of exchanges full stop.
I use wirex and in that lies a solution easily replicated to convert to Fiat funny money. To spend in shops etc.
I have also been partnering with www.transferwise.com this last few months, AKA disruptive tech to banksters, so there is another avenue to think about. Now known as WISE. https://wise.com/
Yes I am looking at ways to disrupt the banking chain.
I am also developing HHO in my spare time too.
Hit me up with ideas, email will be set up by tomorrow, have a superb weekend one and all.
look at this https://tribaldex.com/legal-services, f crazy!
forget about blockchain, you need hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay devs work, then you need to register foundation or company (when you start your blockchain like megamoron did, you may go to jail)

Noted, cheers.
