the bigger fool theory is the american greed way and more prevalent now than ever. its built into every business so why is crypto any different? i bought an old farm and farmhouse last year and slowly upgrading it and have had several contractors out to get estimates. its sickening how everyone of them are raping people. heat pump was low on freon and hvac co wanted $75 a lb to replace it on top of labor. the shit costs them about $5 a lb.

No, the shit does not cost them $5/lb. New regulations have required different coolants, and they are more expensive. On the other hand, the coolants will save the ozone layer, which shields us from potentially lethal cosmic radiation. So you know, tradeoffs. $100, or life on Earth.

i see that we've got some meme coin discussion going on in here...

i bought 2730 shares of DOGE back in early 2021 for $60.01 and it's now worth about $1,100.....should i keep holding onto it?

So you made a gain of about $1K? Or $2M? I would sell in both cases (def the latter) but of course I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

hahahahaha. i've gained $1k. i bought it as a joke and it cost me next to nothing so i'm kind of leaning towards holding onto it for now.

Bitcoin already has an element of speculative nature. The Trump/Melania coins are total scams.

They are only scams if you don’t understand the terms. For some, they are a transaction window open 24/7 for ease of bribery deposits and likely a good investment depending how much you value the requested impact on US government functions.

Disagree to a point. There are scams I totally understand but feel I have no other recourse. Doesn't mean its still not a scam. I'll give you an example.

Visiting the Academy in Florence. Long ass lines of 2+ hours if you're lucky. Or you can pay the Skip The Line Tour at 3-4x the rate, and get shown in without much of a wait. Everyone knows the Academy artificially manipulates the line (reservation process, speed of flow, warnings, etc) to prop up the STL tours and everyone gets greased along the way.

I just don't understand any of it. Particularly when you include the energy consumption involved in maintaining all the 1s and 0s. All of the utility originally promised with Bitcoin has been filled with venmo, PayPal, Apple pay etc. Other than nefarious purposes what is the actual use case of Bitcoin?

The newer protocols have proof of stake rather than proof of work. Their energy footprint is miniscule.

When I went to the Academy in 21, they had reservation times and the wait was maybe 30 minutes. Perhaps that was a post-Covid thing, but I don't remember that long of a wait in 95 either. Maybe you have gotten unlucky on your Florence trips if 2+ hours is a short wait for you.

It's the old stuff that costs out the ass. If you have older units that still need the old freon it's very expensive because there is very limited supply (intentionally).

What does “rugged” mean?

“Ryan Fournier just rugged a “TikTok” coin…..”

Rug pulled. It’s a market manipulation fraud that is common in crypto and is exactly Trump did with his coin then subsequent launch of the Melania coin.

That visit was in Spring 2023 when tourism started to swell post Covid. Time of year also impacts the length of line. We had looked at reservation slots and they were all booked...out of curiosity I checked, the whole month was booked.
I went in the early 90s and it was not an issue back then.

Just not the Academy, plenty of other places do it as well (Vatican, Sagrada Familia, etc). There are places that have big crowds, but finding a reservation is not a big problem.

True. The new stuff is more expensive than the old stuff was, but yes, the old stuff is now currently way more expensive than it was. Thank you for helping me clarify.
 
I wonder if Elon is pissed

I mean they got in office. Those powerful folks might be done with Trump.... Especially after he basically admitted they cheated to win the election
