Nada. I mean im almost entirely in BTC, silver, gold, and a few miscellaneous things. Took a hit with BTC like everyone but nothing realized. And im not stupid enough to sell and realize it. It will be right back up at ath soon. The thing about the current scam is that it's super...

So much rampant insider trading bullshit going on now. Corruption through the roof.

Not sure how it can be a prequel to IT if it begins in the 1960's, considering the story for the original novel began in the 1950's. That said, if you read the book there is a ton of room for other IT stories: the trapper, the Black Spot, the shootout. But AFAIK, nothing happened in Derry in...

I keep hearing rumors about things like "a US Gold backed 50y treasury bond." Would also be curious as to why you think Mag 7 isn't a safe haven? Not saying I disagree- just curious about your logic.

I actually agree with you, but tbf, "nothing" is exactly what they have been doing to this point. But I agree, it isn't sustainable, and all the signs of a sea change are there.

Fair enough. I guess I probably treat btc a little differently than I treat pretty much any other investment. I have other crypto holdings im 💯 going to take profit from, just not btc.

I've had the same thought sometimes but always end up dismissing it. Imo taking profit makes sense if: 1. You have a specific purpose for the profit you take- like a house down-payment . 2. If you think BTC is going to crash near term. Neither apply to me, so I always just hold onto my BTC...

Almost felt like "they" were just waiting for the calendar to turn. Seeing lots of fairly convincing stats showing BTC is currently underpriced by 50-60k. That's *currently* underpriced- i.e. not factoring in new inflows that will likely happen this month. Would be surprised if we're...

You mean buy that for the rebound, I assume? Initially, you'd probably lose quite a bit of money with SPMO when the market first drops (assuming you were already invested).

Pretty much what I was thinking. Keep it simple: gold, a couple defense ETFs, a couple energy ETFs. I like BTC a lot for the inevitable rebound, but can't imagine it will escape getting dragged down (initially) with tech stocks. That said, I have no plans to sell what I have, and I am keeping...

So... supposing I thought that a shooting war bt Russia and NATO was imminent... In this completely theoretical scenario, where am I stashing my money? Gold, certainly. XLE? FCG? PICK? ITA? SHY?

Yes, the market seems to shrug its shoulders to everything these days...

Ports? Any plat making advice from anyone appreciated.

Yeah, but do people buy them?

This true? Pretty new to the server, so trying to figure out ways to make plat (spells are fucking expensive!). I don't see a lot of /auc because of bazaar, so it's hard to tell what trade materials are hot and thus good options for a lowbie (25ish) to farm.

Wondering if BTC isn't a leading indicator here.

I mean, at this point if you haven't figured out how it works by now... There is literally zero variation with how these celebrity shit coins fall out. It's the same thing. Every. Damn. Time. Shitcoin scams should be illegal, but frankly so should being this stupid.

EDIT: NVM

Me and 4 RL friends just started on this server. Bazaar has been awesome for getting basic starting gear for 100-150p. Nothing fancy, but just having a decent weapon and something better than cloth makes a huge difference. Enjoying the server so far.

Had pretty much the same experience. Don't remember the exact amounts, but i do remember it cost about 40% of the value of my ETH just to move it from one place to another.

For sure, better than BTC. Like I've been saying forever, BTC was never going to fulfill that role- just like you wouldn't go buy a hotdog with a gold nugget. Personally, I'm not sure ETH will ultimately fulfill the daily transaction role either, though.

Ethereum 🔥

Gotta ask- how do you think the 1200 person server cap is going to affect things?

Anyone know the rules for pet damage/exp on this server? I know when it opened you had to do at least 51% damage to a mob or pet would take exp, even if you were in a group. Heard that they eventually changed it to the typical rule: so long as you are grouped and do at least a little damage to...

Already happening. Both V and MC are building stablecoin rails to enable their networks to use stablecoins for payments, settlements, and cross-border transactions, especially on-chain.

Regardless of how this "new financial paradigm" plays out, there's a few things I'm certain about: 1. The majority of changes will benefit corporations, not consumers. 2. Middle men won't be removed from the equation, but they'll be replaced by different Middle men. 3. Likewise, some annoying...

Interesting concept, but would need to see details on how it would be implemented. Seems like it would be super easy to abuse. Also she's saying "crypto" not Bitcoin.

Part of the reason BTC seems like such a missed opportunity for some people is because of how fast and how far it has gone up. If you bought apple in 1985 you'd have had to hold the stock 40 years to get a 250,000% increase. If you bought BTC in 2011 you'd have only had to wait 14 years for a...

Btc sailing. Bloomberg Terminal has switched its scale to show Bitcoin in Millions. It's currently 0.116M for one Bitcoin

Going to have to explain this one to me.

Markets rely on psychology as much as math. No one says their whole strategy is based on Satoshi’s coins staying dormant, but those coins have been untouched for 15+ years and are generally treated as lost. That absolutely affects perceived circulating supply and investor confidence. If those...

Because it would destroy the core assumption that those coins are permanently dormant. None of the coins attributed to Satoshi have *ever* been spent or moved. The sudden availability of up to 1 million BTC (about 5% of total supply) could trigger panic selling, crash the price, and undermine...

I've been saying this for a long time. A whole lot of assumptions are being made- including that Satoshi is actually dead. No one even know who Satoshi was (is)- how could they possibly know he is (they are) dead?? Events like this show some people have the patience to sit on huge piles of...

I asked Rogean a long, long time ago when he was still posting on these boards (or the original foh board, as it was back then). I suggested that they open a new server every few years and combine old servers. Keeps things fresh and there's always a new or newish server to play on but no one...

I.e. plenty of time to transition away from the dollar. Agree that we aren't facing imminent collapse, but we are going to get a snowball effect as more people realize this and we drift into an autocatalytic cycle. This is especially true as it becomes more obvious that there is an easy...

Pretty much a pattern at this point- like I was saying in the other thread. Instinct tells me there's some fuckery going on in the lag between normal stock market hours and the 24 hour crypto cycle.

Yeah no shit. Micro city management is for the birds. What a pain in the ass trying to keep ungrateful citizens happy all day. I'm going to build you a fucking temple, keep you from living in squalor with sewers, give you plenty of food from farms, and you're still going to hate me. No thanks.

Kind of sad how many games I've outgrown. For a long time I thought the newer games were just bad, but then I realized most of them were fine and I just didn't enjoy that kind of gameplay anymore. Still a gamer, but the games I enjoy have just really narrowed these days. I can usually only...
