It's Saturday night, you know what that means. I bought $1000 of VET at .177 after selling at .195 on Friday. Did I make anything overall? Probably a pretty meager amount. But when it gets back to .22 (buy-in average) I should have a little more than I started with. At least it worked out in...

These graphs are mind-blowing. Even though I already knew a lot of it, it's still mind-blowing to see it illustrated so effectively in a group of charts. I was told for years that the productivity/profits/cost of living versus income divide started under Reagan, but 1971 ain't Reagan. This goes...

On the other hand, I'm the guy who came into the thread knowing nothing, and I still know nothing Edit: Not putting down the thread, I've actually learned a LOT from these threads, so much as I'm putting down myself for still making a fair amount of mistakes

When it was in the high 19's earlier I took a fraction of my VET and did the sell-to-buy-later-in-the-weekend thing, mainly as an experiment more than anything else. We'll see if it results in anything. Since it's a fraction it won't really matter either way, just a curiosity to see if I can...

Binance if it's allowed in that state. Coinbase Pro is said to have better fees. Neither should be too tough to set up if they're available. I was pretty lucky to be able to get Binance in my state.

I would advise anybody to not use Coinbase. The fees are unreal and cost me a few hundred over the couple of months that I used it. Find a platform that won't fee you to death.

So say I don't sell at a loss, say we get a brief spike to .22 and I sell $1000 of VET there at essentially neutral baseline. Then I wait for this weekend and buy it back at .16. Putting aside whatever small fees add up to, my new $1000 investment should be worth about $1250 when it gets back to...

Not really on Binance. I don't know the specific numbers but it's very low, single-digit dollars for me. On Coinbase, fees for the same transactions would have been in the $40-50 range, so...

You're making a logical point here. I already compounded my loss a bit (though I don't see it that way) by buying more once it fell to .19 (only to see it keep going). This is a very tricky game to navigate for people who can't see the future, since there isn't a lot of rhyme or reason to these...

This should be a fun thread. Well, not fun for the people posting on it. "Perpetually adjusting and watching costs like a hawk" + setting limit orders on when you buy and sell seem to be the plays. Would have saved me a lot of money to use those functions more. I've pretty much had the worst...

Didn't know that, that's good to know for the remaster so I won't have to do the Chalice dungeons on NG. I'd prefer to do them on NG++ or so and have it be the last trophy I get. Actually explains why I got rolled by some Chalice bosses, if they're intended to be a challenge throughout + games too.

On paper it doesn't look like a good idea, but I think there's a very strong chance we'll see both A) An upswing this evening and B) A downswing over the weekend, probably late Saturday night. Seeing .13 wouldn't actually shock me, but I hope not. Or to put it another way, if I get close to a...

I'm still salty about losing $100 on Doge when I got it during the last big spike ("big" compared to now). Immediately dropped 20% and sat there for months until I gave up on it. People told me to keep it and I laughed at their joke currency. I think it'll hit $1 almost for certain. Seems like...

Even though my buy-in average is .22 I'm considering selling tonight if it reaches .21 and then rebuying it over the weekend during whatever customary weekend mini-crash happens. Hopefully the result = more than I started with (i.e. buy at .16 or .17).

Yeah, the Chalice dungeons may as well be a separate game. When I was platinuming Bloodborne I would say I spent about as much time in Chalice dungeons as I did in the rest of the game combined. They're kind of dull and mundane appearance-wise but you can fight tons upon tons of optional bosses...

Yeah, it's rough. I hope this ends up being like MANA where it waffled between the teens and .20's for a while with similar dips and movement before eventually leaving that in the dust and establishing a new floor of about .90. Way I see it is, if VET stays low it'll give people more chances to...

Too bad I didn't see this until now. I've got an extra Purple, brand-new in the case, that I got last April or so and could have sold you at a discount. I assume the issue has been solved by now though. As for anyone else asking these questions, I strongly recommend Purple myself. I went...

A couple questions about classes: -Any interesting build suggestions for Souls 1 Remastered? I want to play a melee character that also has spells, but I don't want to go with Sorcerer (I usually end up making a Battlemage-type sorcery/melee hybrid character and those are very OP). Feels like...

Yeah, the pain is real. Weeks of wishing I could have gotten into VET pre-.20 thinking that was firmly in the rear-view mirror, buy-ins at an average of probably .22, and now I'm sitting here with nothing else to invest now that it IS pre-.20. Especially painful considering my last big buy-in...

People always go "wot mate, why you haven't played DkS3". Soulsborne is my favorite series and I can only play them for the first time once. 3 is the only one left that I haven't played. And considering how much mileage I've gotten out of the others, I haven't needed to even move on from them...

I had the same issue with Xenoblade 1. I liked the game and the characters a lot, but there were a few points especially late in the game where I had to grind with enemies that were barely worth grinding. Really slowed the game down. The first time I remember that happening was the claw guy out...

When I played SOTFS on PS4 I remember weapons breaking constantly. This was very soon after release. Anyway I just finished Bloodborne again and am gonna replay Souls 2 and Souls 1 in the next month or so (probably in that order since it's the original order I played them in). I'm doing...

Finished the gun-only run, took about 18 hours. That was super fun. Ammo conservation was the main thing. Had to use lots and lots of blood bullets, and I couldn't use melee attacks to recoup health lost from making them like you normally can. The second half of the game was much, much easier...

What did Biden do? I can't keep up with the news nor do I want to at this point. I thought Yellen's comments this week were the big issue.

Once I took my mom to see one of the Hobbit movies, first time in ages we'd gone to a movie and I was really looking forward to it even if those movies aren't great. Well, we had 3 teenagers a couple rows behind us who just wouldn't shut up. After a few minutes of this I stood up and shushed...

I mentioned it above already I think: The main reason people liked Garden State at the time was the soundtrack. It's a very nostalgic movie for that reason, even if it isn't very good. Black Swan was tremendous. Like a sexy version of Fight Club where the main character is female instead. Also...

Yeah, I'd like to have Eth and VET both, maybe 50/50, and see what happens over five years. Though right now I only have the funds to have a decent investment in one or the other. Like I mentioned before, if we get a big VET spike I'll take some out and put it in Eth so that I'm not running on...

Yeah, rough day for me spending literally $2300 on it at .22 and then $500 at .19, not house money at all, totally my last crypto-available funds for the moment, and then seeing it go to .15. Not because I'm down on money, but because I could have gotten SO MUCH MORE if I'd happened to get on...

And now my VET is technically in the positive again...lul

Well, I'm Paperhands McGee for a reason. ...or was, 'cause after bills were done I found $500 in the couch cushions and bought more VET at .19. BOOM.

I could spike VET right now if I sell all of mine to buy it back lower. It'd instantly start shooting up again the minute I do that. Not even necessarily kidding.

Yeah, if I hadn't blown my couple thousand extra this morning on .21, I'd have absolutely bought in at that range. I didn't think it'd go below .20 because it doesn't even get near that without a hard rebound. I'd love to buy more in the teens, but I literally just put all of my spare...

Is that why there's been a big drop this afternoon? Seems like every time this administration says anything stupid about the market, there's a drop. They already fucked the energy sector on week 1 and caused me a lot of grief with my stocks, now they're going to fuck with my crypto. Really...

So uhhhh, here's my VET It's hilarious how the minute I drop a couple thousand more on VET at .21, it heads straight for the basement. Was waiting for a nice dip to buy more and this morning seemed good at .21. Now I check back and it's .17 for the first time in many weeks. This may be the...

GUN RUN UPDATE: Just found out the Reiterpallasch is a sword. I think I might have missed it the first go-around, or more likely just never used it. Not sure why the guy has that included in a gun-only run, even if it's just for parrying. I thought it'd be a mainhand gun that I could parry with...

I always had a theory that the cleric beast has one giant arm and one normal arm because...masturbation and sinning? Gun-only run update: The game really does just kind of break once you get the Root Chalice and can level up from the Cum Dungeon. I used that to get 50 Bloodtinge and 99 Vitality...

I wish I'd played back then during all of this stuff, at least to have the experience. Didn't play Phinny until GoD. My favorite part of Phinny was probably TSS-TBS. During PoR, my guild Dragonbone Citadel merged with Cult of Chaos to form this new power-guild version of CoC. Both punched well...

Yeah, I was going to keep Eth on an indefinite basis, but I decided there was probably more money to be made in VET short-term due to how much growth room it has in said short-term. I'm sure I'll buy back into Eth as well after the next VET jump rather than have everything in one basket. In any...

Yeah, I was just pointing out to Mrniceguy that OGC didn't actually lose races to non-AoS guilds. Except Vulak, I guess. It's kind of interesting how other guilds influenced the AoS/OGC races, even when they'd largely step aside for the first few days. I remember a PoR race where CoC was...

LG C-series is the best thing you can get, outside of the really expensive stuff. CX should be pretty cheap right now with C1s in stores, $1400 sounds like a good deal. Not making a mistake at all. Obviously GX, C1 or G1 would be better but you're jumping up substantially in price for those and...
