    Well I'm out on COIN. Grabbed some early, watched the spike, didn't sell, held the line, waited for the rebound that I was sure would happen...nope. At this point in the day I think a large rebound would have happened already. Down 20%, that's enough. I'm not sure how anyone made anything on...

    Not gonna hold you responsible for my decisionmaking or anything, but do you think I'd be better off dumping LAZR the next time it has any kind of bump? If that even happens. I did a post above about all the things I paperhandsed that got better later, and here I am wanting to paperhands...

    Mine is going on 7 years and lately it started feeling a bit better (for a week or so) before going back to the usual. I don't know what I was doing differently that one week, if anything. I've gotten second opinions...and fourth opinions. Urologists seem completely and totally useless. They...

    I've never jumped on an IPO the day it launched before, don't know if I'll do it now. Still leaning towards using that money elsewhere. However for a one-day swing trade this seems to have potential. Yesterday I was speculating that it'd start strong, fall a bit out of the gate, then bounce...

    Why an incognito window for Forbes? In other news, who's ready for COIN tomorrow? .....to likely run right past it to jump into their crypto money pool, I mean?

    WELP. Selling at 63k expecting a drop was certainly a mistake. This is insanity. Buying back in now. Hate taking a hit when I work so hard to pull small percentages on swing trades. At least the price difference isn't too bad. Sold at 62.95 to be exact, buying at 64.40. What's really painful...

    I'm glad I read up on this thread because now I too am skeptical. I think there might be some money to be made in COIN tomorrow, like inside of the one day. Might try to get some in the morning if it dips from the insiders selling their overvalued stock, then get out before the end of the day...

    Speaking of 5, for some reason I got $4.99 of free BTC in Coinbase some time in the past couple days. Not sure why. I moved all of my BTC to Binance already so it was curious to see BTC pop up again in Coinbase with $5.34 in it.

    I feel that. I put a large amount of savings into stocks/cryptos this year, and I had roughly the same amount of savings a year ago, so I could have had like 5x as much right now by doing the same things then instead. Which is what I wanted to do at the time, until I balked because the future of...

    Yep, that was a nice surprise. Though given what I was reading yesterday about the COIN situation giving cryptos a bump today it wasn't too much of a surprise. My strategy is to hold Ethereum since I think it's on a steady climb and not worry about the ups and downs. Bitcoin I see as more...

    Thanks for letting me know. I went to test it with $50 and it had a $5 fee for the transfer. For a second I thought the transfer free was 10% and was horrified. Then I thought maybe it's a flat rate, and cranked it up to max...still $5. Whew. For a second I thought the gas prices were...

    Question, I'm moving things from Coinbase to Binance to get away from the horrendous fees. There was no problem moving most of my currencies, and all I have left is Ethereum. The Binance Ethereum wallet has a message saying "Make sure to only copy ERC20 tokens to this address". There's also an...

    I was reading about BNB and if I understood it correctly, a limited number of Binance Coin will exist, meaning the value in theory should reliably go up over time. Coinbase IPO tomorrow is causing huge spikes today. Seems like today would be the day to sell, unless the spike is going to...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Agreed, the Velious armor sets were SWEET. I played a DE rogue back then and the fire painted on the chain armor looked outstanding. Velious was probably the game's apex in armor art designs. Then Luclin models went in and while they do add bulk to their armor sets, the visuals took a steep...

    Since I got picarded: Not the best picture but you get the idea. Redheaded human monks in leather armor are particularly aesthetically solid.

    For the most part, definitely prefer the old Wood Elf and Dark Elf chicks. Maybe even the High Elf. The Luclin models have one thing going for them though, the female human is pretty hot. Especially as a monk. "It's MA'AMazon! Get it right! IT IS MA'AMAZON!"

    What character? Scarlett? Personally I'd rather they just make male characters more aesthetically pleasing and leave female characters alone. That way everyone is aesthetically pleasing and everyone is happy. I'm against a lot of the de-sexiness that goes on in games now and I'm happy when it...

    Trannyzon or Tranmazon? What are we goin' with? Edit: Also MA'AMazon Also, I'm not complaining about the look of the characters in this game. I never played the original so I don't care. I'm just thrilled that it's getting a remaster and will seize the opportunity to finally play the game.

    General medical/legal question (do we have a legal thread?) here. Got a vasectomy a few years ago and never felt right down there afterwards, with no change at all since. I get a noticeable amount of discomfort in the testes/scrotum after orgasm and it never, ever feels like a complete orgasm...

    That's what I thought was gonna happen. Edge pinned Bryan there, technically. Wonder if they're gonna make this a storyline, Edge claiming he's the actual winner and wanting a rematch. Otherwise, Roman really crushed both of his challengers. Wonder what's next for him. Would have been the...

    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.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    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.
