    I am so ignorant to this altcoin shit. I basically invested about 250$ into a bunch of random ones with the long game of maybe one of them will "make it". Overall I am up huge so no complaints, but it is so fucking confusing. I struggle to understand the real-world "value" these fucking things...

    It's(TBCPU) is not doing much, actually went down from 10.67 to 10.58 so I'm actually losing right now ;) But it did not start trading until about 30 minutes ago, so I'm sure it will be fine.

    Im no expert but there is another SPAC out I believe if people want in, currently at 10.67, TBCPU Not personally promoting it, I just know people like to get in early.

    Ahh ok, that's my point though. You have some target you want to hit and you just watch closely for it approaching, or I suppose bombing so you can get out before it gets too bad. Why can't a trailing stop be used? Is it just my broker(etrade) or is this normal?

    @Sanrith Descartes Since it is not possible to put trailing stops on those types of trades, BTNB what do you typically do? Just set new safety limits as it goes up, watch it all day, etc? Or do you just generally hold until you hear a merger announcement then dump? I'm not so much asking for...

    Anyone know whats going on with AACG today? up 800% but I am trouble finding information and I'm pretty sure I missed the boat on this one.

    Can only the buyer chose to execute early? Otherwise I think I am missing something.... For instance, I saw a stock currently trading at 19.93$ with a sell put months out for 17.50$ w/premium of 4.10$. This means someone will pay me 4.10$x100 for me to be required to purchase the stock at...

    ok, Yea...new guy back :( sorry for using the forum as a learning platform, but honestly not sorry too. I like this place and trust people. So anyway, in case there are others like me, my experience with the market up until the GME thing was basically put a flat amount of my paycheck every week...

    With that Meme stock shit i put a trailing stop(thanks educating me) once i was profitable so i could try to make more but in theory never lose any money. I think my problem was the swings were so huge i got myself out early(made money round 1) then thought i could do it again and thats when i...

    I got in twice. Once early where i did well, but not big. Then i tried to make it again round 2 and lost about 300$. Thankfully still up overall but learned a good lesson.

    New guy here so thanks everyone. Joined during the meme stocks! So 90% of my investment was 401k or me on etrade buying for long term(5-10 years retirement). But i learned alot during this and actually did make money(not much as i was risk adverse, so only made about 2k)....but from what ive...

    Sadly, that Trump Jr. tweet said it all. This is truly the age of "us vs them". Elite and those in power vs. common plebs. Close redit/other groups talking about it Remove trends from twitter Terminate ability to trade for some brokers/apps(WTF on this one literally) Media campaign about how...

    Is that also what is causing some of these little alt-coins to surge? Are any of them specifically designed for "micro" or daily style transactions?

    Ahh, this is the part I was not sure on. So a miner can not only "mine" a new bitcoin block, but they are the ones which get the fees? So it does not go to a company persay, but rather the person(pool/group) which verified the block? Good to know. So this brings my follow-up, and sorry to use...

    Thanks Fris. From my research, when I use the "crypto banks", I'm actually storing my coins somewhere under their control....IE it is not really my hard wallet. Now, this may or may not be bad, right? At least how I understand it. I know it's kind of a lame comparison, but I compare it to a...

    More questions as I learn more about this stuff.... When I transfer a coin from A-B there is a "fee"(or sometimes is?) Is there always a fee or is this just what services or hosted websites charge as a way of making money, like a bank fee? If someone is a "miner" are they only generating NEW...

    Thanks for the good reads everyone. Especially on alt coins. One more question though on alt coins.... melts take Filecoin for instance. When I read about that protocol it makes total sense. Talked about distributed storage etc. sounds good and I get it. Ok now the part I DONT get, while the...

    You mentioned risk with the BlockFi and lending....but my concern is what kind of risk. What i mean is, are we talking the risk of giving a deadbeat friend 20$ knowing he may not pay me back or the kind of risk like the guy/people who made the software are going to close up shop and steal...

    Anyone have any personal experience with the lending style platforms like compoud or whatever?

    Far Cry 6

    Or buy that ubisoft+ thing. You get all their games i think for 15/month. So you could try them all and cancel in 3 months for the cost of 1 game

    Yea, im mo series expertoranything, but i just played 5 and i was properly entertained. I could see how it may get same old same old after a while, but it was well done so i have zero complaints

    Far Cry 5

    Thanks. Maybe I'll try Far Cry first then the AC series. I've never played any of these games before so I don't have any loyalty or attachment. I wanted to avoid just buying the Shadow of the Tomb Raider and try something different before I went back to the same old thing.

    Probably a stupid question as it is somewhat subjective, but where else to get mocked other than FoH! Also didn't want to shit up the forum with a new thread for my petty concerns....

    Star Trek: Picard

    One of the worst shows I have ever seen. Zero tribute to TNG or even most core values of Star Trek and didnt even present as a decent space/scifi/action show. Seriously zero reason to watch this or finish it. The final episode was garbage.

    ibuypower was selling it for like 1750$, which I'm sure I could do way better building it on my own...probably like 1200$ in parts?

    I did it and paid for next day shipping(I feel a little like an ass for doing that, but fuck COVID). Final specs, hope I didn't fuck up too badly.

    I hear you but this is where I was thinking why not. They have a 3 year warrenty....and that's one of the major reasons I don't wanna build my own. No hassle. Something goes wrong I ship it back. Plus the free upgrade for their fuckup sounds ok by me :)

    I don't have any personal stake in the game, but based on reading the last 20 pages or so it sounded like i9 was fairly superior and then a new processor is coming out which would place i7 two generations behind? Basically not worth it unless there is some huge cost savings. I may very well be...
