    Probably news of the upcoming Sept. merger. I think it's the first time they've actually put a date on it. Don't be surprised if they push the date back.

    I like my Ledger Nano. Cold storage makes holding through anything much, much easier- and safer. Just make sure you buy directly from Ledger.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I wasn't calling anyone stupid fwiw- just wrong. Because if you believe that any crypto currency (including BTC) has made the leap from speculative asset to inflation hedge, it seems pretty clear you are demonstrably wrong. Inflation hedges are supposed to protect the investor against the...

    Ammo is a good investment too- you won't find me arguing with that. But I buy both. Barring some type of full collapse I won't be using my ammo for anything other than target practice in the foreseeable future.

    Well by Blazin's rationale, today's bump means we are looking at good news in the near future. But by the time we get the good news, the markets could be in the toilet because of upcoming bad news.

    You think the "great retirement exodus" will keep us out of what otherwise would pretty clearly be a significant recession?

    To a certain extent I think that works: caveat emptor. But absolutely zero regulation or oversight is as bad as overregulation. You need at least a basic framework to prevent the straight up brazen criminal enterprises from destroying the space altogether- which they are currently in danger of...

    Lots of loopholes and end arounds (spouses etc) and definitely more than a few failures to report. People actively serving in congress shouldn't be able to trade while in office. Period.

    I'm guessing the proponents of Web3 had something more complicated in mind than the type of LLC you can set up from your home computer in 15 minutes.

    I'm not going to explain it because I don't think blockchains eliminate the need for corporate lawyers and/or legal compliance. There will always be lawyers as long as there are laws. I also don't think blockchain tech will eliminate middle men entirely, but it will reduce them and change what...

    People way, way smarter than I have a hard time breaking down the technical potential of Web3 into a concise summary, so I sure as fuck won't be able to do it. But I'll try and summarize my impressions at least, even though it will probably leave you with more questions than answers...

    Yeah, if you're asking for my "sources" as to why I feel that way, I could definitely point you to a variety of articles, interviews, and general information that, all combined, lead me to this belief. But, honestly, it'd be a waste of time because I doubt you'd read/watch them. Not saying...

    I believe there is a very good chance that Web3 explodes and DAOs replace LLCs, coins replace stocks (in some cases), and teams like Polygon become the next Microsoft, Facebook, and Google.

    Thankfully, I don't count my wins and losses by the day 😁 Edit: really bad day for my inverse etfs, comparatively much better day for my crypto? /shrug it will all change next week. For me it's a marathon not a sprint

    Most of them do, and you should be skeptical of all of them in my opinion. Including Matic. I'm skeptical until I see actual working and verifiable Tech being used in real life cases. But for me being skeptical doesn't mean I'm not willing to risk money on something that looks promising...

    The Burry vid gives a pretty good explanation as to why a negative macroeconomic environment (like the one we are in) creates an autocatalytic downturn cycle that affects the stock market as a whole. And why, regardless of an individual company's efforts to mitigate the downturn, such a cycle...

    I think I said this once before but I'll ask it again: have you never read a Flobee post? He believes that all alt coins (including ETH) are scams to try and steal his bitcoin. How do you think he's going to feel about matic?

    Lots of ride or die people in this space, some of which have been holding for many years through crashes worse than this. That's one reason neither Bitcoin or ethereum are going to go to zero. And both will eventually be back up

    If the stock market keeps dropping, crypto will keep dropping. I'm personally beginning to view after hours crypto action as an indicator of what the stock market is going do when it opens. The last several significant crypto drops have presaged corresponding drops in the stock market...

    There is a happy medium between a more engaging and tactical combat experience than 3.5 was offering and a "video game" style experience. 4th edition just wasn't it. Frankly it did improve some elements of combat from 3.5, but what it lost in role-playing value ruined any value it had. Not...
