Huuuuuge spike this morning in a few things. ADA went from 1.22 to 1.29 and MANA went from 1.02 to 1.15 (ATH I think). Unfortunately the spike only lasted for a very short time, so I missed it. 9 AM spikes seem pretty common in crypto, even on weekends.

So in theory this won't apply in a place with no capital gains tax (like Florida IIRC). In other words, don't be in NY or CA if you're going to be a heavy crypto fiend, be in FL or a comparable state? Just another thing to add to the growing list of reasons to move to FL! Also, the good news...

Just discovered Coinbase actually does charge fees for converting from one coin to another. When you buy in or out it charges you fees, and it actually tells you (generally about 3%, I think). When you exchange, it charges you 2% and doesn't tell you. Was in for a surprise when I suddenly had...

Yeah, that figures. I've kept track of my trades, luckily. So I can get a calculator and go run the numbers once I figure all of this out. It's gonna be a massive pain in the ass, yes. Right now I'm moving a bunch of BTC to Eth. Gonna stick to that rather than selling until I work everything out.

I've been exchanging instead of buying/selling primarily to avoid Coinbase's fees (plus it's more fun). It works well for that purpose. As far as tax dodging goes...I don't know. If I sell a crypto for $2000 and then buy it back later on a dip, I no longer have that money so it probably...

You guys think I should dump ZNTE? I'd lose $100, but it ain't going anywhere as far as I can see. Could switch all that money over to something more productive. Unless there's a chance it'll turn out to be worth it later. I suppose there's always a chance but I'm not too confident in this one...

I think it'll be Bryan pinning Reigns and then defending against Edge next month. It'll be funny if WWE's May PPV is Bryan vs. Edge while AEW's May PPV is Omega vs. Christian, which seems to be the direction we're going in.

Yeah. AEW is great. I've got my own issues with AEW but so far the pros are outweighing the cons. Last time I watched TNA was in like 2016. Lashley and Drew were feuding over the world title and Lashley was part of a stable led by MVP. So basically it was what's going on now. I LOVED this at...

It isn't as obvious as it sounds that there would be a difference. Like there's no direct sunlight on the area of the living room where the TV is, it isn't in front of a window, etc. That side of the room just gets a little more ambient lighting than the other side of the room, and even that...

I also bought $500 of it. $200 at around .1320, another $100 at .1275, and another $200 at .1248. Initially I wanted to get $1000 at around .10, but I'm uncertain of it and missed that window so I went with $500. Gotta go with Binance for this. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if Coinbase adopts it...

In the same room, yes, but not under the same exact conditions. Putting the C6 in the same exact spot has hurt the contrast because of proximity to windows.

Oh, duh. I balked at entering bank passwords, but I was able to link it with the numbers instead. In any case, I've got some VET now... at .13. Gonna try not to mope too much about missing the chance to get it at sub-.10. I apologize in advance if it crashes now.

Yeah, what I actually got was SPCE. It's come up in the investing thread before, mistakes were made. Not as big as selling Mana at 41 cents. I could make a Downfall rant subtitle video about my stock/crypto mistakes. At least I'm in the positive at all overall and learned a bunch of lessons...

Jesus H. Christ, people are still talking about me in here? Anyway, I've got some info to update: -I did do a self-calibration with the C6 once upon a time. Nothing professional, just did what I could myself. -I didn't calibrate the BX because I didn't have it long enough. -I decided I want...

Below-NAV SPACs are the way to go. Don't do one of the things I did and invest in companies you like, like SpaceX, only to watch them drop from $48 to $27 a week later. Who's upset? I'm not upset! NO ONE'S UPSET. I've broken even overall since January, but not by a whole lot. Maybe $700? I...

Binance is approved, took a couple days but not too bad. They've got an option to directly link your bank account, which I assume greatly speeds up transactions. However they need your banking system password so that's out, had to go with the debit card linking option. VET about to hit .12...

Yeah, I bought in at CCIV very late, at a point where a fair amount of people were saying I'd missed the boat on it, and ended up turning a 50% profit a week later. "You don't lose money until you sell" is some sage wisdom for people new at this stuff. Even if it seems like you've lost money on...

Palantir might be my most-despised stock. I've got $600 in it that's been hovering in the range of $450-500 for two months now. I can't wait for it to actually turn a profit so I can GTFO. I know it's a long-term stock that might turn out great in a couple years, but it grinds my gears to buy in...

Not to derail into politics too much, but I was watching a documentary about college campuses and antifa blocking people from speaking and all of that idiotic nonsense, and Peter Thiel's name came up. Specifically they showed a protest at a college where he was going to speak, and activists were...

Just bought into Ethereum with everything I had laying around, got around $1400 of it at $1970 or so. Feels good to finally have some Eth even if it's nowhere near as much as I'd like to have. BTC is going through a nice dip as well. Mana isn't having the bounceback it usually does yet, and...

I'd avoid Polkadot, it seems to be at a high. Not too sure about Cardano either. I keep a minor amount in it in case it does jump, but I don't expect it to. Probably just stick to Eth, maybe some more VET. In other news, MANA is the lowest it's been in weeks right now, dropped to .91 tonight...

Jeepers. Well, I'll sell out to the surveillance state if it means less Coinbase fee fleecing. Hopefully VET doesn't skyrocket during this whole verification process.

Looks like I can get Binance. I forgot, I meant to look into it already because of discussions a few pages back. Doesn't it have lower fees than Coinbase or something along those lines? I'm sorta looking to get off Coinbase after their fees completely wiped out the BTC gain I made from selling...

I'm pretty much with you on this. I'm really conscious of the fractional difference of the buy-in point. At this point I might well eat my words and just buy what I can regardless of a dip. As far as VET goes, I definitely see potential for that to pay off hugely soon. Unfortunately Coinbase...

I don't know, but MK Annihilation has to be one of the biggest letdowns ever. The first movie was great, and the second was going to get us into the MK2 story with SHAO KHAN. ...except it was more like MK3 and it was dookey

Didn't Johnny Cage get like brutally killed at the beginning of MK Annihilation, or something like that? So it isn't like this is the first time an MK movie has treated the character with disrespect. Admittedly this woke development does kinda shit up my enthusiasm for the movie (woke has to...

I don't think Ethereum fluctuates enough to "buy dips" and so forth like the others. It's pretty steady, a good candidate for DCA. It might go below 2000 again briefly if there's a big sell-off from the ATH. I'm waiting for it to be 19XX before I put more into it, myself.

2020. I compared the C from 2016 to the B from 2020. By your logic, an LG OLED C6 from 2016 is worse than a Vizio from 2020. Is the LG C6 worse than the LG A1 feature-deficient value brand too? Thing is I've seen a loooot of TVs in action and LG C-series is the best out of all of them...except...

I know a couple of traveling nurses and they make a ton of money compared to stationary nurses. Plus they get to choose where they'll be stationed, so they can go to Alaska or San Diego or whatever is most appealing for the next 3 months. It's an amazing gig, except for the apparently crippling...

Meh, I'm not bored, got plenty of other things to play. From the replies here it sounds like I'm not actually missing out on anything. I just got excited hearing that Shadowlands was comparable to Legion in fun level, but it sounds like that was an outlier opinion. I'll go back to my other 30 games.

So what's the verdict on Shadowlands? I've liked every expansion of WoW noticeably less than the one before it, with the exception of Legion which I LOVED. Other than Legion, I can't say I've enjoyed the game since Cataclysm, maybe Mists. BFA was a total chore and the only reason I "finished" it...

I replayed 1 and 2 about five years ago and for whatever reason 2 didn't hold up as well. YMMV. For me it's 1>2>5>3>Tactics>>>>>4 Wasn't there a semi-dogshit mobile Suikoden later on too? Suiko 3 remastered would be great. These companies are sitting on an absolute gold mine of PS2 and 3 era...

$999 for a 55'' CX is a reaaaaally good deal, as is $1200 for 65''. I'd probably jump on this if I wasn't going for a G1 already. People that want a top of the line TV and aren't trying to be bleeding-edge like me would be very well served to grab one of the CXs in this fire sale.

Konami did Suikoden dirty, TBH. I'm just glad we live in a world where game designers can jump ship from these companies and make their own follow-ups (Suikoden, Castlevania, etc). One good thing about Suikoden III was Chris: What a babe. There were quite a few Suiko-babes as I recall. Jeane...

Sorry for post spam, usually try to do all replies in one post. Couple questions though: -Is Nicehash generally the recommended program for mining? I.e. lowest fees etc? -When you mine something like Ethereum, can you add that to your total instead of selling it? I don't want to cash out /...

Oh man. If I could go back in time one year and grab all of the stocks during the COVID crash, and invest heavily in BTC when it was sub-10k... it isn't even just wishful thinking, I actively considered doing all of these things at the time and had plenty of money to do it with, and chose...

Agreed. Eth ain't gonna get to 1M. I'd say 100k is within the realm of possibility on a 5-10 year timeline. Unless the dollar absolutely crashes, in which case we'll have bigger problems. Staking value is also going to go down. It won't stay at 7% or 10% type numbers once the value is through...

Bought back into BTC at 57k after selling at 59k. After the huge Coinbase fees for both selling and then buying, I'm not even sure if I broke even. Also bought Mana at .97 after selling at 1.07, which definitely did make me a decent little profit (about $80). I've got a similar idea to you on...

I wouldn't mind having a job like that, where I make a lot and have to travel all the time. Haven't been able to find one though. Did you stop running them because of this guy or were you going to anyway? Like did this one guy destroy the Open Plat Raid economy by showing up and vastly...

Yeah, I'll get it and let you know how it is / take pictures / etc. I'm about 90% sure I'm going to go for the 65'' at this point, so I'm actually glad it wasn't available yet last week (I would have gotten 55'' then). I have to wait for Best Buy to get them in because it's the only place where...
