    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    This sounds true *in theory*; however, in practice you are going to have real problems explaining how BTC can become the reserve with no guarantee of long term stability.

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    If you ever thought MK was going to get a legit movie then you do not understand the motivations of people that make movies for a living. It is not to entertain but to make money. Entertainment is a by-product of making money to them. They would rather have 10 different people watch a movie...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    You are comparing a 6 episode mini-series to some Netflix shows that are just part of the shit they churn out monthly. Ginny and Georgia, Who Killed Sara, and The Irregulars will have multiple seasons pulling those same kind of numbers; and then Netflix will come out with a mini-series that...

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    I was trying to figure out how a 25 year old puppet that took 11 people to operate and functionally broke down was better than CGI in 2021, but here we are. Also, Kabal's perfect fucking Brooklyn accent ruined what was otherwise a pretty good looking and fighting character. How the fuck does...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    You are both missing the bigger picture. The United States: is the only first world country not in terminal demography (thank you milennials), only relies on exports for last than 15% of GDP, can satisfy 90%+ of its import needs regionally, and is also the only country that can protect all it's...

    This is conjecture with no facts backing it up. What will replace the dollar as fiat and list 3 compelling reasons why.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The dollar as fiat is more about the United States' projection of power and stability in crisis. How exactly will China undermine either of those factors(let alone both simultaneously) when its situation is much more tenuous?

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    'BTC as a store of value' is the exact equivalent of 'Euro/Yuan replacing the dollar as the defacto standard of exchange.' It is an interesting concept that falls apart once you start looking at the actual real world consequences of a giant economy tanking and the majority of its capital...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Still amazed that the Mouse and their multi fucking billion dollar Marvel arm cannot find 6 hours of good story, plot, and acting.

    It seems like TSM and Liquid are trying to get out in front of the big streamers in every category to become the de facto 'agents' for the online media era that we are entering. Good on them for seeing the coming wave.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    My post was pointing out that to most people investing in crypto everything the two of you said doesn't matter. Doge, for better or worse, is probably the 3rd most recognized coin to laypeople. That means when Bitcoin or Ethereum go up then there is a high likelihood that Doge will follow...

    I have always found revenue chasing companies to be in a huge Catch 22 situation because the "market" needs them to have high revenue numbers to look good. Yet if the same company that put up those big net numbers were to sacrifice 10% of their revenue to gain 15% more margin their stock would...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    You are the kind of person that would shit on someone for buying BTC at $1000 because it had never been there before. 99.999% of people buying coins right now are speculating on a new type of investment; you have no idea if the market is going to halve, double, or triple in the next year so...

    I used that method for the last two leagues and it really leaves you map starved getting into reds. The jump from the 3 stone region to the first 4 stone region is especially tough because you have to be sustaining your highest map in the 3 stone region to have a shot at the lowest tier map of...

    You could always pull out half at the doubling and then recast your loan. It usually only costs 200 bucks and will calculate your monthly payment on the loan amount after the huge chunk is paid off. This could allow you to keep half your vet for future doublings and then just pay the same amount...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Do you even check the other movie threads you fucking twit? We shit on all kinds of movies for all kinds of reasons. Those two were brought up because they are part of the two giant franchises that the Mouse is trying to run into the ground by failing to meet the hilariously low standard of...

    Dark Souls

    @Chanur Is right; if you bought DS2 Scholar of the First Sin then it is almost an entirely new (and harder) game. They moved items and enemies in every single area to make it a different experience while combining it with all the DLC. This is the only version I played and I never had the...

    Bittrex has 0 deposit fees and various trading fees can be found here. If you are trading it to another site just find the coin with the lowest trading+withdraw fees.

    Use Bittrex to get your money into any coin on their exchange (most likely USDT) then transfer that coin to any other exchange and trade for the coin you really want.

    I speculated $5k on Tron 3 years ago because if low gas price and some thought to it becoming big in China for capital flight. Now have 290,000 TRX and will hold it until I'm rich or it goes to 0.

    No, we all got it. It did not land because one of the major reasons that Redditors trash GGG in the r/pathofexile is performance and that was exactly the issue that prompted the "joke."

    Path of Exile

    This is a retarded take. GGG would be retarded to cut infrastructure by any amount based on hundreds of posts from Reddit. In all actuality they are either running consumption based, auto-scaling virtual infrastructure or they are fucking morons for skimping on their most critical business...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    The only game I can think of right now that had sidequests worth a shit was Witcher 3; and that was because they put so much effort and thought into the story of each one.

    Event Horizon was my first taste of anything that had to do with madness/other dimensions/cosmic horror. I can thank it for my love of HP Lovecraft and Warhammer 40k. That alone puts it my top 5 all time movies.

    This is not a purely financial question but I'd love to know what you think about the future of global businesses. I am an avid Peter Zeihan listener and he is absolutely convinced that the global market as we know it is going away in the next 10 years. Do you, @Blazin , or any other traders...

    Nope, he literally said that the buff to talismans was to give them all an anointment and to have them all be well rolled. He said that led to talismans that were crazy and that they were taking away the well-rolled portion. Lab changes are the only thing worth a shit. Of course Ritual goes...
