| 1337toothbrush 03/28/21 4:37:49 AM #33 | ssjevot posted... If you're speculating to make money this is absolutely essential though. If it doesn't fluctuate wildly you are better off speculating on something else.Or you could invest in something with a reasonable rate of growth. You got lucky with your speculation, but that doesn't make it a good investment. If wild swings are the mark of a good investment, then penny stocks are a better investment than well-established companies by that metric. --- |

Trumble posted... Yes, in the same way that if you're in Canada on holiday and you buy a sandwich for CA$6, then the value of the Canadian dollar goes up, you basically just paid more (probably not $60, but the same idea still applies) for the sandwich.The magnitude of the fluctuations is the problem. Comparing it to the Canadian dollar is disingenuous. --- |

That's the point of a decentralized world.Do what? Rob Cesternino posted... You've heard of blockchain, I assume? Bitcoin and crypto are built on top of a blockchain, which is like an open database that uses lots and lots of encryption for its transactions. With blockchain, you can prove that a transaction went from point A to point B without a middleman.Think about how many times bitcoin has crashed. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 03/28/21 3:34:48 AM #22 | ssjevot posted... The funny thing is a lot of times people like TC are talking about PoW coins that take a long time to verify and have massive fees and not instant feeless PoS coins. Not shilling for any coin here, just pointing out you almost always hear people say this shit about coins that it literally isn't true for.Exactly. It's because the actual utility doesn't matter. These folks come crawling out of the woodwork whenever the price of bitcoin of bitcoin is high, then they crawl back when it inevitably crashes again. If the utility was what mattered, bitcoin would be the "main" cryptocurrency. It's just a get rich scheme and bitcoin benefits from name recognition. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 03/28/21 3:32:11 AM #21 | Rob Cesternino posted... It's shocking to me how misunderstood Bitcoin is. Most people don't realize it took a genius level software engineer to invent, and it solved problems in computer science and economics that had never been solved before.Please elaborate. The most hype for crypto that I've seen comes from speculators trying to make money off of it. The "amazing" things it can do have all been things that are already possible without crypto. I've yet to see a truly compelling use case. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 03/28/21 2:26:53 AM #18 | VideoboysaysCube posted... Every currency is essentially monopoly money. It only has value because you have faith in your government. Without the government, those dollar bills are just wads of paper.I know that the government can keep the value of the US dollar relatively stable. I don't know how much I'd be getting paid if I was paid in bitcoin. Within a day I could be taking a pay cut or pay raise. --- |

| Topic | Why are people not more angry about NFTs |
| 1337toothbrush 03/26/21 7:47:15 PM #8 | Blightzkrieg posted... As far as I know NFTs don't actually give you any rights to what you purchaseNot only that, but it doesn't even encode that data within the NFT. It simply encode a link to the "asset", so whoever actually owns the website that the NFT links to can just change it. It's multiple levels of stupid. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 03/21/21 2:27:26 PM #50 | COVxy posted... Not sure criticizing people sensationalizing terrible crimes because they find them entertaining or fulfilling of some sort of weird narrative is a defense of the original crime.You're making a stupid assumption in a pathetic attempt to defend the rapists of children. It doesn't matter if they're famous, they should be brought to justice. Apparently you're more concerned with maybe some people being entertained by this than actually punishing rapists. --- |

| Topic | If you have $40,000 in your retirement accounts, in 30 years it will be |
| 1337toothbrush 03/21/21 2:13:41 AM #56 | I Like Toast posted... the post talking about putting money in retirement accounts. you know, savings. You're aware you can take money out of your retirement accounts before you retire right?The post was talking about prioritizing investments over paying down a mortgage. That works well until the market tanks. Sure, you can take money out but it'll be a much smaller amount of money which you'd lose more on potential appreciation plus you likely have to pay a penalty. If you run out of that money, there goes your house and everything you've paid into it up until that point. --- |

Either learn how to read or stop misrepresenting my arguments, you disingenuous hack. --- |

I didn't say they were mutually exclusive and I didn't say saving was a terrible idea. My point was that $300k 30 years from now won't do much and that dumb articles like "just skip a coffee a day and you can retire!" are bullshit. The house thing came up because TC claimed anyone pointing this out will be living in a sardine apartment and I said I already have a house so that can't be. --- |

This is incorrect, unless the mortgage payments came with an astronomical interest rate he lost money by not contributing to tax advantaged accounts. This is why you need to heed my advice as you are clearly a financial rookie.The peace of mind that comes with actually owning my home is priceless. Meanwhile geniuses following your line of thinking lost their homes during the great recession. --- |

Ok, parts of it, like not workingThe closest I've been to a NEET was the couple weeks after I graduated where I was looking for work and it was a shitty feeling. I'm sure that similar to that, there is never a feeling of being truly at ease when going the NEET route. --- |
