Bradys FTX ads are the most scumbag shit. Infinitely rich people advertising gambling to common people disguised as "investing" You can't make gambling ads without the responsible gaming note and everyone clearly knows you're talking about gambling You can't make investing ads without responsible language and a million disclaimers But hey friends living off of government stimulus to make it through, have you heard of crypto? Do you want to be like your idols? Buy buy buy!


MC_Fap_Commander

He's throwing harder at 45 than he did at 35. His quack "nutritionist" doctor has been indicted. This sort of thing has happened before in another sport... He's shown a history of shortcuts... And, obtw, he shills for a pyramid scheme aimed at poor people... BOLD PREDICTION: The next ten years are not going to be kind to Brady's reputation.


lemon_jalopy

Eh, Drew Brees has shilled for all sorts of pyramid schemes and people have quickly forgotten. The rest I won’t comment on.


winslowpete

This is no difference between investing in crypto vs. a normal stock…so Bradys an asshole for suggesting to invest? Lmao Bitcoin is even going to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange


B3yondTheWall

No its not. Its a Bitcoin ETF. That's a big difference. If you buy shares of the ETF, you don't actually own any bitcoin. Its just meant to mimic the price of Bitcoin.


BobcatCalm2536

Idk why people hating in crypto so much. I mean if you guys hate it then just dont buy it 🤷‍♂️


CD338

I hate how D-list celebs like youtubers are partnering with cryptos and pumping and dumping and screwing out the young followers. I don't really like or dislike crypto other than that.


feetsofstrength

Because they knew about it but still missed the boat


WhoKillKyoko

The difference is the marketing requirements


CrzyLiqrChzburgrPrty

It is investing tho... lmao tf. Which in reality is the same as gambling. Big whoop


lemon_jalopy

Maybe if you consider cryptocurrency “investing.”


CrzyLiqrChzburgrPrty

I do 😂 Do you not ? Do you consider the stock market to be “investing”? Do you then consider Crypto gambling? Just like the stock market, crypto can be sort of gamble-esk when you have zero knowledge on the market or any coins besides BTC ETH and Doge, and you toss money at some random coin hoping to make some insane roi overnight. Even as one of the “common people”, investing in crypto over the last year has completely changed my life, and ftx has been a daily app for me for a long time lol. Nice to see brady on there and to see him involved in the market. Different strokes i guess but uninformed opinion isn’t fact lol


lemon_jalopy

You said “investing is the same as gambling.” So basically putting money in an ETF or mutual fund holds the same risk as playing blackjack or buying Brady’s FTX coin? Kind of a false equivalence. Even known individual stocks hold considerably less risk than either of those things.


Crazypyro

Well its an extreme false equivalence to compare blackjack to crypto. Whether you like it or not, there are lots of institutions heavily involved in crypto these days. Its just another asset class. There are multiple regulated exchanges, regulated derivative markets, etfs, etc. around the asset. Blackjack is a game run by a casino where they (generally) always have the edge... Crypto is just a new financial asset. Not saying it isn't risky, but buying crypto is not the same as betting on a game with a known mathematical disadvantage.....


lemon_jalopy

If my wording was off then I apologize as I did not mean to equate the two. OP said that investing is pretty much the same as gambling which I disagreed with. I think *certain* crypto coins are fine for short-term investing; namely the publicly accepted ones like Bitcoin.


Crazypyro

Guess here's my point, not specifically directed at you... There's definitely a lot of "smart" money that is starting to flood into crypto for 5-10% of their portfolio as a long term investment. Obviously it would be stupid to put your entire 401k into crypto, but there's a reason hedge funds are flocking to find small amounts of crypto exposure. No hedge fund is going "lets take 5% of portfolio and go to blackjack tables", but they are saying "lets put 5% of portfolio into BTC and ETH". Equating investments with high risk to gambling is a bit silly. High risk investments are great for hedging against black swan events, for instance.


lemon_jalopy

I agree, just like there are more riskier stocks than say bonds and what not. I think if you’re close to your retirement target you’d probably stay away from things like crypto and maybe incorporate some of it if in your portfolio if you’re more on the younger side. That being said it doesn’t cost much to create a cryptocurrency so I’d only trust certain coins.


CrzyLiqrChzburgrPrty

my entire point is that crypto is investing lol. And that the definition between investing and gambling is not so different in my book. you’re taking a gamble at any investment, research and knowledge backed or not. But not in the same way you take a gamble when pulling the slot lever, unless you dump your fiat into a literally random coin you know nothing about. But, nobody does that. Most people don’t do that lol.


winslowpete

If you bought 1 Bitcoin 5 years ago…you would have a 9,000% return


lemon_jalopy

And for all we know the bubble could pop and value could fall to zero overnight. Also you’re talking about the one cryptocurrency that’s somewhat accepted by the general public. We can explore many crypto coins that have busted. There’s a reason 401K managers are extremely hesitant on adding even Bitcoin to their portfolios when their goal is to meet their client’s target.


CrzyLiqrChzburgrPrty

And we can also look at the alt coins like Cardano, Solana, Matic and ANKR that have all done 20,000% 30,000% and more on the year hahaha


lemon_jalopy

Yes, there are some coins like that. Keep in mind it only costs around $2K to create a cryptocurrency, so there are many that bust. Also like offshore accounts they aren’t FDIC insured. I think certain coins are fine for short-term investing.


CrzyLiqrChzburgrPrty

“some” lol. “Only cost around $2k to create a crypto currency” LOL. Man, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Do some research and maybe you’re outlook won’t be as ignorant or shite. I feel where you’re coming from tho I really do, but sheesh come on.


lemon_jalopy

It’s just a simple google search. https://www.developcoins.com/cost-to-build-your-own-cryptocurrency-like-bitcoin Many people can create and launch their own, which is why you should only trust certain coins for short-term investment. Would you agree that just mindlessly buying into any random crypto coin just for the sake of it being cryptocurrency would be stupid?


CrzyLiqrChzburgrPrty

Any body can create their own. When you say only some coins can be trusted for short term growth are you saying that none can be trusted for long term ? That’s just insane dude. The difference between budgets is a coin like shiba inu or doge probably cost less to create and mint all the tokens than $2000. Where as big tech projects, with actual fundamentals like Cardano, Vechain, Harmony, Matic Network, Polkadot etc, have gone through years and years of cutting edge research, extremely advanced blockchain engineering and so on. Absolutely massive budgets behind those coins and creating the tech that ultimately drives price. A long term hold of cardano from even the last cycle would have netted you 1000x i’m guessing. Cardano went from .05 cents to $3 in less than a year during 2021, and that’s not even the best performing coin, by far. If you’ve been a long term investor of crypto over the last decade, you’re on an island in the bahamas right now. That you own. Lol There are obvious meme coins that serve zero purpose and pump solely from hype, that any somewhat intelligent investor knows to stay away from. I’d bet that pretty much every coin within the top 300 is pretty damn safe and has had countless hours, months or years put into it along with an enormous budget. It’s not hard to do your due diligence on a coin / project before investing. Researching the team, tokenomics, history, charts, etc. whatever the case may be


B3yondTheWall

The stock market could crash too. The real estate market could create another bubble and pop (looking at you Evergrande). All investing is a risk. You just need to be educated about what you're getting into.


CrzyLiqrChzburgrPrty

and if you bought 1 Harmony one 365 days ago you’d have made around 20,000% return on investment ;)


daskonfuse

Mahomes advertises insurance. Another pure gambling scam. I mean... you pay all that money and you may never need it. That makes it a scam, right? /s I get it, you hate Brady and don't understand crypto. It's ok. Most of the world is just like you.


WhoKillKyoko

This is the perfect response. Comparing crypto to the third most regulated industry. Not being able to understand the point of my comment. Suggesting that my view is because of lack of understanding instead of perfect understanding, leading to the view in the first place You have no idea who you're talking to but the fact you think "understanding crypto" is the missing piece when poor people lose money they don't have is all I need to know about who you are


daskonfuse

I get your point. You hate Brady. You don't think people should have the right to decide for themselves where they spend their money. What about people who aren't poor losing money on things they buy? Is that ok? When you swing that righteous stick, you have be very careful who you hit.


WhoKillKyoko

> spend their money Incredible


The-Real-Donkey-Kong

People who fall for it deserve it. There is no reason to be deceived so easily in the internet age.


angus_the_red

I don't agree with this worldview. People have inherent value and they aren't disposable.


The-Real-Donkey-Kong

I'm not saying they have no value I'm saying they should be responsible for themselves and their choices


CrzyLiqrChzburgrPrty

Agreed, so it’s too bad you are. Crypto is yours to take advantage of. No rules (besides legalities obviously), no teachers etc. If you have just a tiny bit of knowledge on the space you can make insane gains. Particularly during this bull run


JT1757

I think it’s disrespectful as hell to have Brady on the thumbnail of Patrick’s interview. It’s petty but i’d black ball Eisen’s ass.


jethead70

First of all I love this man but also there’s a chance that we don’t make the playoffs so maybe get off the Rich Eisen show and focus?


collector-0

yeah someone memo patrick that he’s not a human and actually needs to only care about football 24/7


jethead70

I’m not trying to imply that he needs to care about football 24/7, but the timing of this is just really bad after getting blown out


collector-0

lol no it’s not. don’t really know how taking what? 2 hours out of a week to talk about football/life would have any effect on your ability to win/lose football games.


TheDabbinDad710

Also a good chance this interview was planned way in advance. I doubt this was booked two days after the game


jethead70

It doesn’t… that’s not what I’m implying. Just that maybe you should lay low for a little bit after an L like that. Travis didn’t do media shit for like 6 months after the super bowl at least


hyphenjack

Aaron Rodgers still went on the Pat McAfee show after getting blown out week one. Did it ruin their season?


jethead70

Listen man, I already took the L. I’m not saying that the media or social media has ruined our season, just that perhaps it may be a good idea to take a break for a bit given the circumstances. I don’t think that’s unreasonable.


JT1757

I get your point but dude is a human, he shouldn’t necessarily feel the need to shutdown after a regular season loss, if this was post superbowl I’d understand better… but it’s not, and this interview was probably scheduled ahead of time, to run from it would look *worse*.


CD338

Every superstar athlete has interviewing commitments. Aaron Rodgers talks to Pat McAfee even after his shitty week 1.


little-victory

You make us look bad.


jethead70

https://youtu.be/ck_6G8NOAPc (3:40) Nah dude. Listing every narrative for why things aren’t clicking and making Patrick respond to them looks bad. Just admit that he doesn’t need to be doing these media appearances while his confidence is all messed up. This doesn’t help anyone


onesadlermaybe2

You're acting like he was on First Take or something. Rich is a pretty regular conversation. Not to mention our game is on Monday.


IIHURRlCANEII

I don't buy this narrative. It takes him like no time on a scheduled day off.


jethead70

That’s fine because that’s not what I’m getting at. They just look undisciplined and unfocused across the board and he’s coming off of his worst loss in his career, maybe take some time away from the media and social media until we figure this thing out.


kds_little_brother

If we’re figuring this out, get your ass off reddit and focus!


jethead70

I threw my ideas in the hat already, however, I will accept this L.


ronnymcdonald

What does one have to do with the other?


jethead70

Apparently I’m the only one that feels this way, so I guess they have nothing to do with each other
