Picked up a bunch of that week before last. Likely will see lots of volatility in crypto related stocks as we draw close to the spot etf decisions

Having a pretty good end to the year for us crypto degens. Will be interesting to see what the week of Jan 8 brings. You sell all your Grayscale holdings yet, @Mist ?

That's a fair summary of how they are different. Would still say The Bureau was just better though- better writing, directing, story, acting (with the exception of Gary Oldman, who is the best actor in either show imo). Might be because I prefer gritty and realistic to pulpy. Again though...

I've been thinking of selling 50% of my ETHE and GBTC in late December to take profits. If they drop precipitously after ETF approval (or denial or delay) in early Jan, then I'll be glad I got halfway out. If it goes up instead, I can always buy back and lose out on some gains but still be...

Homo homini lupus est

Shit you guys are crazy. Werewolves always freaked me out. Always felt like I could reason with a vampire or at least convince one to turn me instead of kill me. But werewolves. Man, those fuckers are just going to tear you limb from limb. They are stronger than you, faster than you...

Had the exact same experience. Still like the movie though. Definitely in my top 3 WW movies

Gotcha. I'm curious on your timeline (I hold a good amount of ETHE). Supposedly the Grayscale BTC news is going to drop around 1/8/24. No one knows how it will go, but if a Grayscale BTC ETF gets approved in Jan, presumably all the Grayscale crypto trusts will see an increase. Again, they...

Good werewolf movies are scarce. I would put SB on the "better" end of the available options. Still waiting for them to make a really good werewolf movie, like using Mongrels or Those Across the River for source material

You selling before the ruling on grayscales etf?

Yep. I've been standing by waiting to invest in some low cap coins. Went ahead and sunk some money with the theory that BTC is the tide that raises all boats. I pulled the trigger earlier this month after the first big bump and thought I would regret chasing. That turned out to be a...

So, uh, ETF approval tomorrow or what?

This is going to suck. Just figured I'd let you guys know now so you won't be as disappointed.

The great thing about GPT is that you can always ask. Unfortunately it doesn't always give you useful data. In this case I could probably continue to dig to try and figure out where it got the data for "recent market trends" and what factors within the data made it land on a 10% increase, etc.

Obviously, the above is a super simple query that anyone could do if they took 10 minutes. I tried to get it to prepare a chart showing the predicted price from between now and 2/1/23. It gave me a crazy looking chart that was clearly insane but that ended up with a pretty reasonable final BTC...

The new GPT connects to the nets and can provide up to date data. The issue is it seems limited in the sites it targets and the data it scrapes. You can point it to certain sites though, so that alleviates some of the issue. For example: I'm sure they have GPT models specifically built to...

Nevermind- chat GPT is worse than useless for financial predictions. for now anyway

Had a blast on my trip to Barcelona, but I spent very little time in Barcelona itself. Check out the beaches in Costa Brava. My personal favorite was Platja de l'Illa Roja. Great for snorkeling and cliff jumping. Very cool medieval town named Pals worth a stop. If I did it again though, I...

There are some pretty safe exchanges these days. Fidelity isn't an exchange, per se, but you can buy BTC and ETH there and hold it and it's probably safer than self-custody tbh. But Fidelity comes with two main downsides: you can't move crypto on or off the exchange without converting it to...

Then again they might have her strip down to a tight top and skimpy underwear that shows a little bush when she gets into a hibernation chamber. Jk. We all know those days are over.

Couple things to keep in mind.: Where I live an18 year old cashier with a GED can START around about 45k a year at McDonalds. Most people make much more than 60k/year, especially those who own homes. But (again) everything costs way, way more here than it does in most places- especially...

Plenty of people who are middle class drive a Lexus. Some people who are upper class drive Hondas. What someone drives, in and of itself, doesn't tell you much about a person at all. What I think you can say though, is that if you walk through a middle class neighborhood in America, you'll...

It is indeed. But what I was speaking about is the idea that your home value and salary are relative to your COLA when determining if you would generally be considered middle class. You can't just look at raw numbers. Raw numbers are meaningless without context. You've got to factor in other...

Congratulations, you've grasped the basic concept of relativity, which puts you ahead of several people in this thread.

Right. No argument there. I'm just saying the idea that you can't be middle class because you live in L.A. is... fucking stupid.

I mean, you could argue about minor details, but that's as good a definition as any. And my point is you can have "churn roughly equal to burn" anywhere.

Ok, so take this example: Guy 1: Works at McDonalds making $22/hr. Pays $2,500/month to rent a shitty apartment with 2 roommates in L.A. Drives a Kia Rio. Guy 2: Works at McDonalds making $10/hr. Pays $800/month to rent a shitty apartment with 2 roommates in Harrisburg, PA. Drives a Kia...

Most of the houses in my neighborhood were built in the 20's, 30's.

What makes someone middle class?

Exactly! A lot of people do. Why do you think so many people from CA move to TX?

Here's a pic from google maps of a typical house in my neighborhood. Maybe you have a different definition of middle class than I do, but everything about this pic says solidly middle class to me. The current value of the white house in the pic is $1,268,000. It took me about 60 seconds to...

Yeah, that's exactly my point. You can't determine the relative wealth of an area by average home value alone (or average salary). If you were to walk around my neighborhood and look at the actual homes (95% of them are small, single-story bungalows), the cars (toyotas, hondas, chevys, and...

Yeah I'm sure it didn't continue exactly like that, but salaries are really wacky right now anyway. The lowest wage earners have gotten a much-needed boost, but most mid range salaries haven't caught up to that (unless you are one of the lucky ones with a good union, like UPS or UAW)...

Well, following that trend line you'd get roughly: $765 in 2013 $975 in 2023

Yep, I've still got an average cost of like 27. Nice to see it finally starting to fight its way all the way back up to my buy in point though.

Slow Horses is pretty good, but The Bureau blows it out of the water in pretty much every sense. In my top ten shows of all time: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4063800/

BTC maxis think all kinds of crazy things. But the more BTC-friendly leaders the better for anyone with BTC investments- or crypto investments in general, since the larger crypto market tends to follow BTC.

BTC ally just elected president in Argentina. We are going to start seeing some serious FUD pretty soon.
