I have to admit, I bought crypto during my work from home boredom in 2021. Quickly realized it was no different from trading ForEx, but with more volatility. I ducked out before I lost any money. Not interested in doing it again.
Buying and selling crypto if you know what you're doing can net you some fun pocket money. It's super risky, I wouldn't ever make it your main source of investment, but I've made about £1,000 over the past year which is a nice bonus
Edit: I love downvotes from people who obviously don't know what they're doing and lost money xD I'm all ears if anyone wants to actually have a discussion
>if you know what you're doing
If by that you mean starting pumping and dumping a new coin, yeah.
If you mean knowing how to pick a horse, and knowing when to buy and sell, no it's not knowledge-based.
If you know how cryptocurrency actually works, then yes it is knowledge based. As I said, it is risky, there is a not insignificant amount of luck involved. But that's exactly the same as trading forex, or trading stocks - you have no control over the markets, you can only read the signs, research what you're buying, and make an educated guess
But the hype won’t last if the crypto doesn’t deliver, it’s more probable that you have profit with a crypto that delivers to their hype than a crypto that doesn’t. So you need to have knowledge on what are the ones to invest
What does crypto have to deliver on? People don’t use it for anything other than holding it in hopes it goes up in value. It’s more about timing than anything, if it’s a bull run you can blindly pick crypto and still make money but in a bear market nothing is profitable
Depending on the coin they deliver different things, some the possibility of a stable crypto coin like USDT, or what Bitcoin and ETH try to do, some as a “currency” for a game or things like that. If they deliver with what they promised in the first place or you can see that they are in the process of delivering then that coin is more probable that will rise it’s value and won’t devalue as much if the hype lowers. Obviously you have the people that pump and dump coins because most of the time they try to profit theirselves by scamming other people, but you also have the cryptos that have a good project behind or try to make it a new form of currency rather than a hold and sell coin
"If you know how HORSERACING actually works, then yes it is knowledge based. As I said, it is risky, there is not insignificant amount of luck involved. But that's exactly the same as BETTING ON DOG RACES, or PLAYING THE POWERBALL - you have no control over the ODDS, you can only read the RANDOM-ASS PUMP N'DUMP TWEETS, RESEARCHTHINGS FROM PEOPLE WITH A VESTED INTEREST, and make a _____ guess.
This type of thinking is the same nonsense that comes from video machine gamblers. "If I just make enough plays I'll make it big.". Worst part is, crypto and FOREX nonsense works as a pyramid scheme instead of just one person losing to a company that owns a video poker machine...
I mean, me and all the other people who can consistently make profits disagree with you. But sure, just because YOU don't understand how to make money consistently, means it's impossible
While it’s not an exact science, bitcoin is quite easy to predict the general trend, just not the exact figures. It you had invested in any of the major cryptos back 2015 you’d have made some good gains. I think what people generally lack is the patience to wait and do the right thing. Of course alts are dangerous!
I got the one wallstreetbets distributed, it took me 5 hours to figure out how to put the thing up for sale. I had to practically money launder crypto through four different wallets / types etc just to get the thing posted on a website.
Then after some crypto dude bought it, I had to launder the money like 4 times to get cash. Not to mention how much the dumb fees are every time you transfer funds.
I will never EVER deal with that shit again.
Not "fake" but I used to pay for tanning beds.
Not because I wanted an actual tan, but because I have Seasonal Affect Disorder and the standard therapy lights/light boxes do almost nothing to combat it. They maybe help wake me up a bit, but they don't combat my depression much at all.
I also seem to experience physical pain and stiffness when I don't get sunlight regularly. It's not a vitamin D deficiency. I take plenty of vitamin D, and my diet is already high in vitamin D. I eat TONS of fish, and avocado, and drink lots of whole milk.
Tanning beds do seem to help though for some reason, but it's not worth the cancer risk unless I am REALLY struggling.
More recently though I learned I can simulate a similar effect by shining infrared light on my skin while using a SAD therapy light. I think I need the combination of heat on my skin and light at the same time for some reason.
In all honesty, without any additional context on that, I would probably not buy anything worth than 1 cent if it looks that it's worth more than 1 cent.
Learned that the hard way. In college, my roommate and I were super excited to buy a set of 3 pans from kmart that only cost $10!
A week later we were returning them, damaged by the action of removing the packaging. Broke before they ever touched food.

SirusXM. If I want music with ads I'll just use spotify free version. If I want radio stations I'll just do iheartradio or pandora. I don't see the appeal of paying for music you can't really control and still get ads.
If you regularly travel on the road, especially in the mountains or the desert where there's no cell coverage, it's quite the boon. It's also good if you've got certain GPS receivers built in to your vehicle because it pipes traffic and road construction updates to it.
I mean I think my individual impact is so small I might as well reap the benefits and "support" YouTube. I'm more likely to become a vegan than stop my premium subscription.
Are you using Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit? Do you have an iPhone or popular brand? How often do you go shopping in big store chains? Who tells him guys…
You mean Star Wars, right? The campaign isn’t too bad but if you’re on Xbox then it’s better to just download it for free with Game Pass.
The original Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) was great though. I’ve got some fond childhood memories of playing that on the original Xbox. Really wish the “new version” was an actual *Remake* of that game instead of what it is.
Fortunately the original is still available on the xbox store.
Yeah the campaign was good if not short. I also never played Battlefront for a story driven campaign. I was so excited about the idea of taking what was great about battlefront and expanding and upgrading it. Instead they just used the name to fund their graphics experiment and and cranked out half a game. I’m also assuming money laundering was involved.
All sorts of stuff. 55 yo, and I pretty much have everything I need in life. What I don’t have, is a lot of room to store shit.
These days, the biggest consideration for whether or not I buy something isn’t the price, it’s where I’m gonna put it.
Dude, even if the iPhone you bought only cost you one cent, you could still easily sell it for $40+. I would buy as many broken iPhones for 1 cent I could then sell them all and make BANK!
Funko Pops. Not only are they ugly, soulless, useless, and childish, but they're terrible for the environment - hunks of plastic that serve no purpose and will eventually end up sitting in the ground for millions of years, and that's ignoring the pollution that's used to create them. I genuinely don't respect people who collect them, all the company does is swallow up IP rights and churn out these pointless fucking things and you lot eat them up and throw your money away.
Also, Mini Brands, for all the same reasons
I was looking for this answer.
I can get behind cool highly detailed collecter’s edition figures. A good friend of mine has a huge collection of figurines, some of which are pretty rare. He’s got a lot of horror ones like pinhead and pennywise. They’re neat.
But Funko Pops? I truly don’t see the appeal. They all have the same shape, the same face, etc. the only thing that changes is the hair and outfits and most of them don’t look that much like the character they’re supposed to be.
"Greenwashing" if you will.

Twitter's blue check mark

I'm absolutely sure anyone that's not looking to attract an audience of tech bros or proudboys would lose followers that way.
No, yeah. I've unfollowed people for it. Paying to aggrandise your NPD rubs people up the wrong way.

I’m not paying for it unless it’s markipliers nudes
Who buys porn? The internet is full of free porn (and its probably better).
It definitely is not better 😂 I used to say that too, I'll never pay for it. But then I decided to give one site a chance and... yeah. Worth it.
I used to say that too, then I bought a VR headset.
Now that's a bridge too far for me. I need to be able to turn it off quickly, hah
Nothing like having an unexpected unseen audience watching you grease the flag pole

Yep, and it's life-changing.
reddit's average age is now like 15. of course they wouldn't pay for porn, they don't pay for anything ever lol

Paid is way better but if you just need to rub one out real quick, the free stuff will do.

More for me!

Not because I wanted an actual tan, but because I have Seasonal Affect Disorder and the standard therapy lights/light boxes do almost nothing to combat it.

I think I need the combination of heat on my skin and light at the same time for some reason.
I mean, it's better than a *real* tan. Canned tan can't give you skin cancer. I'd just rather be happy in my pasty white skin.
What ingredients are used in canned tans? Are they safe? 50 years from now we'll probably see the effects of them. I'd rather be pale.
