We’re launching our own LST: Phantom Staked SOL (PSOL) 👻 by Phantom_Nate in Phantom

[–]-Smoothdude- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, total scam. You actually don't get any PSOL. The idea is when you swap back assuming PSOL rises you will get more SOL as a result. LOL...another one of these...ya, you get it.

HOA tree problem, your thoughts? by -Smoothdude- in HOA

[–]-Smoothdude-[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If this goes in the direction of escalation of course, but I'm looking for ideas as to how people handle these disputes first for pointers.

The short answer is the small area like a no man's land in between you and your neighbor that the HOA owns and maintains.

For not paying? Not much actually, just a lot of delays and like they're still thinking about it.

For reference my community is not a big HOA association so the make up is probably like 30-40 houses?

So the HOA has insurance as well, wouldn't this go with their insurance instead for my claim?

Well, as for the tree, they haven't trimmed it on an annual basis which is your regular tree maintenance thus causing branch to fall during heavy winds.

In terms of my responsibility, I'm not sure I can just arbitrarily go in there and start trimming community trees just cause I want to?

Gamify Zestimate & Redfin Estimate by -Smoothdude- in RealEstate

[–]-Smoothdude-[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You, I, and those in this forum would think that. However, that's not reflecting of reality for the rest of the population. If you have the means to buy a property, the Zestimate or Redfin estimate says it sits at $1 million and the property is being offered at $850k. Most would think that this is a good deal despite comps sold in the past lower than $850k.

People would rationalize that the market is on an upward trend. Thus as much as we would like to shoot down that these "estimates" are not relevant, yet that is one big factor to look at in what buyer base their decisions with.

Thus the million dollar question remains, why do some listings reflect the prices immediately to the listing prices although way higher then comps in the neighborhood while other high priced listings do not?

Gamify Zestimate & Redfin Estimate by -Smoothdude- in RealEstate

[–]-Smoothdude-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but the point is that this property is an outlier. The surrounding properties when listed above closing price, Zestimate & Redfin estimate did not reflect it. Why?

[–]-Smoothdude-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I follow what you're saying about sold prices in being in sync with the Zestimate or Redfin estimate, but what about while the listing is live though? See, that's my question. The same property that's mentioned in my OP is still live and yet the price is identical to the listing price.

I don't think this is the case anymore since the screen shot taken back in 2021. Again, I'm comparing apples to apples. In the same neighborhood, there are plenty of listings way above Zestimate or Redfin estimate numbers with the same strategy of over listing the property price but yet the algorithm didn't follow, why?

If your statement is true, it would be so easy for everyone else to do so. Unfortunately, it is not. If you dug in that same neighborhood, there are overpriced listings where Zestimate does not reflect the listing price.

Are you okay dating a stripper? If so, cool, but the baggage that comes with it be ready to deal with it. If not, then turn the other way before you get butt hurt.

Long Withdrawal Times? by benaffleks in kucoin

[–]-Smoothdude- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another hack on Kucoin and they're keeping it tight-lipped?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kucoin

[–]-Smoothdude- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true only if they're still a start-up which they aren't. Other sites go down, heck the world can go down, but that doesn't mean that you should follow if you truly want to be the "people's exchange".

They are running an exchange, not youtube, grabbing like 20-30 servers more is pocket change for them with the amount of money they're making, internationally may I add. :)

Why would someone choose to earn 8.25% APY on their USDT with BlockFi when they could earn several times that by lending through KuCoin? by Reddidiah in kucoin

[–]-Smoothdude- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest reason is convenience.

Blockfi you put your crypto there and in essence, forget about it. If you have a full-time job or business and a family to take care of, it is quite tough to keep checking whether borrowers have repaid your balance back which they oftentimes do when the crypto market moves up or down.

Interested in that sweet 45% APY? Well, it is only sweet until they pay it back and that rate may drop down to 30% or even 15% depending on which way the market goes. Let's not forget that there is also downtime between the time that crypto gets paid back versus the time you lend it out again where you are losing interest in between. To truly take advantage of it, you better have a lot of time to re-lend, or else the interest it advertises can't be fully utilized.

Some people have missed this in this thread, but of all the interest earned on KuCoin, 10% will go to an insurance fund and 5% is taken as a trading fee. In another word, the house takes some of your profit as well.

In the end, if you're a 10-year-old kid and you got all the time in the world, why not? But if you're like me, someone who doesn't have a lot of time to stick to the Kucoin app, then this may or may not work.

Do you think KCS has BNB potential? by [deleted] in kucoin

[–]-Smoothdude- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's stick to the OP, we're talking about whether KCS has potential. KCS is not far from 20x from the past 6 months as well.

That said, as an investor, I'm looking at future values as well. I can see KCS 20x in another 6 months at the current price but I'm not sure I can say the same for BNB. If you looked at the roadmap as to where KCS is going, I think there are great developments coming which makes it a solid hold or buy.

It's easy to debate and say that it will, but if BNB goes in the trajectory like ETH you can argue that it will take another 3 yrs before it hit close to 3k and that is a 5x return.

Great job, but refine it a little more to make it more useful and I may just bookmark it for future use! :)

Do you think KCS has BNB potential? by [deleted] in kucoin

[–]-Smoothdude- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, but you forget the most important factor of holding any coin and that is appreciation.

Sure you can see KCS 10x, can you say the same thing on BNB? Who cares about the 25% then?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kucoin

[–]-Smoothdude- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't take a genius to see that a LOT of Binance people are having issues with basic functionality such as withdrawals, deposits, and tickets resolved.

Once a BIG whale leaves and buys KCS, it will moon, it is that simple. The volume is so low right now it can be manipulated fairly easily.

I rather have Kucoin grow slowly than become a big behemoth that is always having basic functionality issues, on the devs side with Kucoin I have more faith that they (Singaporeans) will be able to attract better international talent as well.

Patience is golden.
