The Off Topic Topic

Oh. It's thanksgiving today. Some great advice I read - tying the legs together keeps it moist on the inside

Amazon's crappy interface really boils my piss. With all that money why cant they do it.
Currently trying to figure out how to put parental restrictions in place beyond a broad u/pg/ages thing. Or even to block individual shows. So hard.

I suspect that is actually WAD.

Getting kids to watch crap dredged from YouTube rather than the decent shows they've actually paid to license? - baring in mind the parents are the ones who decide whether to subscribe or not.

DGuller and Habbaku, should I wait for XRP to reach $3 and take my 600% profit or should I wait more/less?

[DGuller]

Why would I be an authority on crypto? 

[crazy canuck]

Bitcoin is now at about 100k US.

So when my son was in high school and he told me I should just buy 100 dollars worth, back when it was worth less than a buck, I probably should have listed to him.

You could never be a Canadian PM. Could I perhaps, though, interest you in some tulip bulbs?

My fake money investment are up 50% life time. Downside, is it's only 50$ and 25 of it is pegged to the US dollar.

My play money investments are all down.  I am glad I leave investing to the professionals.

But if one of my long shots with a shot ever make it, I will feel better.

I think I shared this story once before, but a long, long time ago.

Summer of 1996 I worked for a mining company - HBM&S (now HudBay Minerals) in FLon Flon, Manitoba.  I lived in staff housing.  I knew one guy who was all excited at the new job  - at this new up and coming mining company Bre-X.

YOu might be too young to remember, but Bre-X was a total fraud.  It went from a penny stock to its shares being worth hundreds of dollars - right up until it went back to zero.  The company was salting its mining cores.  One geologist was found dead in highly suspicious circumstances.

But Bre-X was going up and up for several years.  Even if you thought the story was too good to be true, you still could have made a ton of money on Bre-X stock - right up until it crashed.

That's still the way I think about crypto.

[Grey Fox]

Yeah, I agree with that. Crypto is in the find the sucker stage of market creation. Will it evolve to the next stage?

The film is worth a viewing.

That there is a town named Flon Flon pleases me.

Crypto has real value for money launderers, drug smugglers, and black market arms dealers.
