Update: sold all my Bitcoin for KAS

This is pretty much exactly where I am. But the ETFs are new enough and significant enough to make me feel not so confident. I will absolutely sink some funds if we get down to 50K but I'll probably take some bites before then too honestly. I rarely try to catch the absolute bottom because I'm...

The current drawdown is the shallowest on record relative to prior cycles, roughly 41% off the all-time high, compared to 84% after 2017 and 77% after 2021. If the institutional absorption thesis is correct, the floor keeps rising. But Id be surprised if it is as high as 41%. Could be wrong tho...

Lot of whales buying. So funny. Saylor sells 32 BTC and causes a huge panic, the price crashes, and then he scoops up 1550 BTC at a huge discount a week later. Sheep will be sheep and wolves will be wolves, I guess. Fwiw, I don't think we've seen the bottom yet. We are still tracking the 4...

Crypto has never really left speculative asset territory. There's a huge pivot to AI right now, and that's acting like a huge vacuum, sucking up all the speculative money- a lot of which was previously going to crypto. Add to that the inflation/interest rate issues, which have dried up a lot...

I guess I'll be the contrarian here and say I don't mind paying a subscription at all. I didn't stop playing EQ live and start playing the emulators back in 2004 because of the subscription cost. It was simply that Live no longer offered what I was looking for. My gaming budget these days is...

I don't give a shit about any of that tbh. All I care about is the game they are making. I don't expect them to be "spotless" or "saints." I have no expectations at all, honestly. I'll check out the game when it's available and if it's fun I'll play it. If it's not, I won't.

You just invented Samdaman.

Yeah banks basically won that battle. And it was a big battle. Doesn't matter, tradfi's days are numbered. Their intransigence will only hasten their demise.

Him, then. Wasn't intentional

Personally wasn't interested until I saw that both Rogean and Secrets were collaborating on it. Rogean obviously has a really good grasp of what made classic EQ great. And after playing Project Quarm, I personally have a ton of respect for Secrets and her ability to balance common sense...

Didn't see a thread for this. This actually looks... really interesting. AI summary: This just dropped today — announced at GDC 2026. Here's the rundown: What it is: EverQuest Legends takes players back to the early days of the MMORPG with restored sound and visuals and all-new...

Was mostly joking- but I'm not sure anyone other than Waymo knows how much control actual humans have or how often they exercise it. Honestly my personal experience with Waymo has been meh. For example, I usually walk the 10 blocks or so from the train station to work when I go in but I wanted...

Waymo isn't self driving, it's just dudes from the Philippines. https://www.techspot.com/news/111233-waymo-admits-autopilot-often-guys-philippines.html
