    Crypto and Your 2c Understanding of It

    I can see applications for some coins out there. The technology behind some of them are pretty solid. However, whether they actually solve any problems remains to be seen: most coins seem to be a solution in search of a problem. Regardless, even if they did have a use case, no coin in existence...

    Crypto and Your 2c Understanding of It

    Yeh, though we've probably just finished a bull market. You might've seen your friends make money during a bull market, and its hard to not FOMO in. Keep in mind that everyone acts like a genius and a financial advisor during a bull market, so take everything they say with a grain of salt. You...

    Crypto and Your 2c Understanding of It

    The coins are highly correlated with BTC in price. If BTC tanks, the general market tanks. If BTC pumps, the general market pumps. Crypto is essentially just speculation and gambling. I wouldn't recommend looking at real world use cases of the coins since there's virtually zero use cases of the...

    Investing

    It's tanking now that a few apps temporarily halted buying and only allowed selling. Shorting any stock (let alone GME) is highly risky even for those who know what they're doing. A lot of people tried to short Tesla as well and they got absolutely rekd - even though everyone agrees its highly...

    Completely agree with this - any money put into crypto should be money you can afford to lose. I only wish I had the balls to pull something off like this, but the misses would absolutely kill me.

    Yeh but the crypto market is generally all speculative, and the price isn't really correlated with the tech or use case, so a ton of money in any crypto is super high risk since it could've just as easily gone the other way. You got lucky I guess, so it definitely paid off. Now do 10x leverage...

    Yeh you can save a ton if u can hold out for one year, but as I'm sure you know, one year in crypto is a LONG time.

    U waiting for a year to reduce CGT? Or just holding on due to the good ol' crypto greed? Lol. AAVE hasn't been tradable long enough to whether the price increase is sustainable, but man, I would def cash out if I saw those gains.

    Same Sex Marriage Debate

    While many laws are based on facts, there are many that are not and believing otherwise is simply naive. If laws we're enacted purely on facts and data, then smoking should be banned since there are virtually zero benefits, and have the potential to harm others due to passive effects. Russia is...

    Same Sex Marriage Debate

    Growing up in "this day and age" isn't relevant. Technology does not control how you turn out - 5 to 6 year olds don't use the internet to do research. They use the internet to play games. It's how you were brought up by your parents that will impact your behavior, so the nature of your...

    Same Sex Marriage Debate

    FYI even in Australia, the 2017 same-sex marriage survey resulted in 60% voting for, 40% against same sex marriage. It certainly is the majority, but it's not overwhelming - 40% of the population is still against it, which is no small number. If you live in a capital city, it would certainly...

    Same Sex Marriage Debate

    Yeah a lot of the arguments being put forth are naive af and aren't grounded in reality at all. There's always feelings and personal subjectiveness when it comes to making laws. If people really behaved logically, then we'd be living in a utopia and communism would work. In terms of the "if it...

    Medium Rare vs Well done

    The chances of eating dying from eating pick meat/raw seafood in Australia is almost unheard of. Australia has one of the strictest regulations on food and produce in the world, and it is extremely unlikely that you'll get a parasite. I don't know of anyone who has gotten sick from eating rare...
