The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's either that or sell one of the Vermeers.

That would be the old-fashioned, honest, non-finance way.
Sell VRMR shares (fractional ownership in the Vermeer) to retail punters for more than it's worth (in total paid by all).
Keep the Vermeer yourself - "for safekeeping, you understand".
From time to time sell more shares, diluting existing ones, but at a slower rate. Your VRMR is so much better than the fiat currencies!
Also run a VRMR exchange, charge gas fees for secondary VRMR transactions.
Also offer to let VRMR shareholders deposit their VRMR shares with you - "for safekeeping, you understand". Steal - I mean, invest - some of them in your Monameda hedge fund.

Very very lucrative, but sounds like a lot of work. If you want, take a one-and-done approach. Sell VRMR NFTs to all and sundry, raise 100x the price of the painting, then burn it. Post the video on YouTube.

(To the uninitiated, yes, all of this in one form or another has been done in 2020-2023 period, though I sincerely hope not with a Vermeer.)
