Who cares If he flies for free?....This Isn't fastlane.This Is the slow lane watching the fast lane.
So what motivates you then??... some Ra-Ra guru spewing his Mind Control "secrets"... ??

I think it is a pretty smart move to use your AMEX. And get free flights for life. But that's just me.

He just bought a 170.4 million dollar painting ffs. He obviously doesn't care to be frugal to save money on some flights.
No. He may not. But he is still gonna get flights free for life. Just by using his card.

It was just an OBSERVATION. Never did I say this was why he used his card. Or anything like that.

The flying free thing.. Is just the medias twist on why he did it.

Let's be honest, if he has enough to spend $170m on paintings, he probably owns a jet and the pilot that came with it lol.

Yes, probably. I still thought it was quite cool though. If he had just made a bank transfer. It would not have been a possibilty.

It was just an OBSERVATION.

You're getting push back because it's the wrong observation to make (wrong thinking).

That's okay, we've all been there, and because you're on this forum, you'll now have the opportunity to start thinking the "right way" :)

He just bought a 170.4 million dollar painting ffs.

That's the crux of it.

Observing that will allow you to ask the question "how can he afford a 170 million dollar painting in the first place?" That's the end result (he's a billionaire). Work backwards from that. Unwind the process that got him to that end result. Once you understand his process, see if/how you can map that exact process to your own life/business. Doing what other successful people do (their thinking / their processes) gives you a better chance at success for yourself (gives you a focused path to walk down).

Did that help you in understanding why getting "free flights for life" is a totally irrelevant observation?

Lmao. Ahh, Mr. Domain Squatter returns with another pearl of wisdom. Please, hit us back up when you drop $170mm on your painting and are "flying for free". Hugely relevant, thanks for sharing broski.

I saw both the free flights and the thinking/process you mentioned. So I agree with you. And that is why I find these types of news more motivating. Than simple stuff like "Work hard" .. "Never quit"... but that's just me.

Because, there is a story behind the billionaire, that you can learn from or copy.

You do realize not a single person on this Forum respects what you do, right? Nothing about what you do is Fastlane and you've been admonished throughout that thread and now this one for being an idiot. You add no value (a tenet strongly held in TMF , create value, money comes). Furthermore, your hashtag attempt at humor is weak as piss. In your "be an ethical entrepreneur" thread (lol irony) my whole tuppence was speculating on a domain to begin with. Maybe that's why C-Net proposed a law to begin with to put an end to DOMAIN SPECULATION. Maybe that's why new companies go through the headaches of re-branding in the concept stage just to avoid you. You add nothing and think like a gimp child.

Have fun with those "free flights" bro. I don't think I, or anyone here will be holding their breath on you dropping $170mm in expendable income on a painting through your degenerate domain spec biz. Look at the shit these parasites like @Maxjohan try to pull. I wish I was making this up. http://www.cnet.com/news/domain-names-are-property-court-rules/ < Will LOL if this happens to him.

While I agree with you -- you gotta calm down man.

We all did/said/were stupid when we first joined up here. Be supportive or ignore his posts. Stop following this guy around just to flame him.

He is probably some bully type of guy. As he didn't bother, answering my question. Just flaming me. Like always.

Besides this, I am regging domain names now to develop. Not just hold.

This thread is stupid but this comment saved it:
Paintings in that price range are purchased as a Store of Value.
A much more interesting topic :smoking:

http://theweek.com/articles/456540/why-someone-pay-142-million-painting

tl;dr of why wealthy buy art:
- It's a long-term investment.
- It's an enjoyment & social status thing.
- Another billionaire can buy the same supercar you have, but they can't buy the same painting.

Sure but you also should probably stop with the click-bait posts, too.

I like that you're active my man but bring something cool to the party!

Just so you know. I am not taking any more shit from Cyriex.(Inspired by the Ubermensch post)

Investing in Domains are a perfectly legit business. It may not be everyone's cup of coffee. But I'm not doing anything illegal. Seems more like the guy is out to bully me. Because,I don't CYBERSQUAT worth SHIT. I do legit domain investing. I've told him that 4 times already. He still can't get that into his peanut brain.

I've had two shitty days now because of this B.S. with Cyriex. I'm not gonna hang around here any longer, if it's going to be like this. When I critize, I critize the mindset. Cryiex on the other hand, says I am parasite, an idiot and nobody respects me here.

If this happens again. I will stand up for my self. Or leave this forum. I don't need this kind of negativity in my life. And I'm not gonna take any more shit from this clown.

He attacks you, you attack back:

I've told him that 4 times already. He still can't get that into his peanut brain.

LOL What do you think the results will be?

I think this avatar is appropriate here:

This is the life of an entrepreneur. Man up. Change your mindset and consider it training.

Don't empower someone else to give you shitty days and F*ck up your life/business. And if you do allow others to do that to you in life, stop F*cking whining about it.

I'm not gonna hang around here any longer, if it's going to be like this.

Stop talking, take action ;) Just give up already! It's the easiest path to success... isn't it? :)

And I'm not gonna take any more shit from this clown.

Again he attacks and you attack back. What has that solved?

I'm not trying to attack you here... though, you may think otherwise ;)

I like that you're active my man but bring something cool to the party!

^^^^^^This

None of this is interesting. None of this accelerates my (or anyone else's) business on this forum. It childish bitching. Move past it and bring something cool, or leave, whatever... Just shut the F*ck up and end it :)
