Mine's up somewhere around half a percent today... dunno what's up with your stuff dawg...

I'll start with a pic of my internal workshop workbench here at Chez Haus.... Currently I have the workshop left by the previous owner, an Electrical Engineer. It's around 20x25 and inside the house (part of the previous garage) The detatched garage I rebuilt a while back and serves as my...

I'm kinda wondering why it's taken them this long to come after stablecoins in general as that's the direct competitor to a CBDC. Just like there used to be laws outlawing any kind of legal tender other than USD in the US. Which is funny as they SAY that it's not illegal in the US to make an...

What do you mean... "If" ??

If you follow the character it reminds me a LOT of Magneto's evolution over time. Originally they were just a straight up bad guy. Then they became the bad guy with a righteous cause, just not going about it in the "heroic" way. (i.e. when comics realized they could cash in on angsty goths...

The OG Secret wars did involve the Beyonder, and I believe when they happened it was explained that he was essentially a sentient Cosmic Cube, and the accident which created The Molecule Man poked a pinprick between our multiverse and his, where he was everything. He was curious so he came...

Also, nobody wants to place a big bet one way or the other because all the indicators are saying "A big move is coming" but simultaneously saying "We don't know which WAY that big move will go" The trader who's analysis I trust most still does his analysis, but then also tells everybody he's...

Yeah, I have a couple things I was tinkering with on Polycat (like auto-compounding vaults) and testing out the pool function (stake Matic , get FISH). Luckily I didn't have a ton tied up in staking to get FISH. Does look rug pullish. I went on their telegram and to see the zealots there is...

For me it's an Amazon Visa. Not only does it have the lowest rate I have in case I do need to carry a balance month to month. Offers 1% back on everything, 2% back on fuel & restaurants, and 5% back on Amazon purchases. Adds up surprisingly fast.

You can do a lot more than networking over a cat6 drop. I know places that use them for HDMI long hauls for instance. In one house I had I used Cat 5 cabling dropped for surround sound speakers.... admittedly that was a bit ghetto.

For @Mrs. Haus and I the agreement is a maximum of one car payment at a time. When mine's paid off we will go as long as she can endure before wanting a newer car with zero. Since she rarely drives much her car is in surprisingly good shape. I also try to keep a nice sum of "immediately...

Is it bad that I look at that picture and can immediately point out how successful every single member of that cast (who has a penis) became post-SNL.... yet I can't even recall the women's names?

This is exactly where my conundrum in answering this one is. I'm good at math, good enough to know even if I invested in a moderately conservative portfolio I could beat 4% a year. Meaning it would be more profitable to invest and keep paying the mortgage as slow as one could. Same with the...

OK. I have a money management hypothetical for the group. This seems to be the best thread to post it in as one side of the hypothetical involves investment strategy... (This spawned off a conversation I have had ongoing with a co-worker involving personal money management) Say you were in a...

They already have an app you can load up like a gift card.... Only a small step to make that loading up a dollar pegged burger based stable coin instead. ;)

You wouldn't know this one, but for the Texans.... Whatacoin , symbol $WHAT

It wouldn't be a wealth tax to accomplish this. It would be to put reasonable anti-monopolistic laws into place to stop the mega-corp banks/financial institutes from wholesale buying the housing market. Or the easier answer, which is to stop having 0% interest rates from the Federal Reserve...

I'm not sure you really get the point of capitalism.....

Play communist games... Win communist prizes!

Keep in mind this is all my own personal speculative opinion and I Am Not An Economist Or Financial Advisor.... I would say now is a good time to be accumulating a large amount of wealth into inflation resistant assets , but probably not a home as home prices are irrationally high right now...

I think the problem here being that if we did a channel it would far more likely be @Mrs. Haus ranting about idiots/socialists/communists/etc while I play "good cop" just enough to keep egging her on. We could roll any game footage for the background while this occurred. heh Although I have...

Well, I personally apologize for today's market action, I did my monthly DCA purchase of BTC and ETH last night.

I have a new life goal...

So, I have a list of things in my head I figure will be causes for people to start just ignoring our government... Here's a point where they're heading towards one ...

FTFY....

Interesting take on China and BTC.. and of all things.. gold?

I'm hoping it will settle in to him, especially since his wife has been made aware of how much it will lose value with his little plan.. Although I admit this situation took me through the the entire spectrum of hearing Samuel L Jackson say Motherfucker in my head.... *finds 69 Mustang to buy*...

I needed to come here to tell a story because this is the closest I think we have to a "Car Person Thread" around here.... And I need others to feel this pain along with me. I work in the IT sales field. Part and parcel with this is that there are a lot of account managers (i.e. salespeople)...

I don't think it's quite that bad... The way I see it... AAVE single sided vaulting has the safety of avoiding impermanent loss, at the cost of aggressive yields. Of course, compare this to ANYTHING you can get with cash at a traditional bank and chuckle.... As @James said, if you're looking...

I haven't done any TA doodling lately. I figure it's all a sideways channel until I see a break up or down, and don't feel confident that my level of TA skills will tell me which way that break will happen. heh As for the pump, one video I saw today showed how apparently "someone" took out...

There is a time honored saying involved here... "Sell in May, and go Away"

So I'm kinda torn.... I'm at 3.375%, Around $70k left on the note (with an official exp date in 2031, but I'm paying around an additional $300 a month in principal right now) Even shaving that down to 2.85% would it be worth the squeeze for the savings? My math saying goes to a 10yr at 2.85%...

(from the "Things Haus thinks while his sleeping meds are kicking in" department): I also wonder sometimes how much the fact that unlike the stock market where virtually everything is trading an "against the dollar" pair there's a very active BTC v. ANY ALT trade market in crypto. There's...

From the "infographics you all should fucking hope I don't take to heart" department...

This makes analytical sense. I would also add from the "Market Psychology" front that today, for the first time, I started seeing the most die hard Bull influencers I watch on the interwebs (Like Bitboy) start mentioning phrases like "If this doesn't turn around in July, we're done for this...

I think the difference between PoW and PoS in terms of accessibility comes down to network choices and configurations. PoS is great as long as the amount you need to stake is balanced and achievable. For many, 32 ETH to stake a node is out of reach. But lower that too low and you end up with...
