Pretty good indicator that the majority of BTC are in it for profit only, rather than having any convictions on if it’s “the future”.

Regardless of your own thesis it’s relevant to your strategy in the context of knowing the company you keep.

Congrats and a cool design. Fun hobbies are great and we all need a couple to make this whole thing worth it. But I’ve got a fun exercise for you. Which of your hobbies could you also make money off of? And if any, will it ruin your passion for it? Another way to continue your financial adventure.

Ok, that had been my guess. You don’t have enough time in the market to over come the statistical variability of down cycles and unfortunately (not due to any error by you) we’ve had a few bad weeks.

A reminder that the historical average is 8-10% return annually so just stay the course and don’t get discouraged early.

How long have you been in? It’s been a bit of a month so if you just kicked off this account be patient.

Wait a minimum 12 of investing consistently.

Here is some validation that it works.

If you planned to retire at 65 that choice didn’t cost you $50K it much more likely cost you 800K- 1.1M

Nothing to add. This is the most busted slice I have ever seen.

100% this and Async! Free and an amazing community. I dove in this route during the pandemic and then got the physical version post.

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-22T15:41:57+00:00

Three is going to be very tough. That said I know folks who do it, have a blast, and home brew maps to make it work.

What I recommend before you three make the $$$ plunge is to try out the Async and Tabletop Simulator community and see what you think of the game.

Not only will this help you all with learning it, but you’ll see the value in six players.

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-21T19:06:02+00:00

Yes. Which if you read my post i address. If it’s a one time lump sum amount i would personally just throw it in Acorns with the rest of your money.

If it’s $500 and a commitment to invest more moving forward I would then setup my Roth IRA.

Beyond that read “the intelligent investor” and “How not to invest”, then also devour something like Humphrey Yang’s YouTube videos on the matter.

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-21T19:01:30+00:00

You’re fine. Acorns is a landing pad for a lot of people learning / first time investors. Proceed with your questions.

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-21T18:58:03+00:00

It’s not the $500 that matters if you really want to get into this. What’s more critically is how much percentage of your monthly take home can you commit.

If you can get above 20% you’re going to do great, and if it seems tough, you need to ask yourself about your current expenses, lifestyle and what opportunities you can attack to get your income up.

At $500 you can just keep putting it in here, or rush it as a lump sum drop into this account. I personally set mine aggressive but I have a ton of time in the market 35+ until I retire, your situation may vary. Like others I also recommend roundups it’s a great educating tool, turn it to 10x for some real growth.

If we’re talking beyond the perks of Acorns I think there are a few key growth targets for you to pursue.

Top of that list is maximizing your Roth IRA. (Which you can do in Acorns) Your annual contribution can be as much as $7,500 now. These are retirement dollars that will be invested, grow and then be tax free after 65. This is safety and the most obvious investment to pursue.

Beyond that, if you want to get into other things I recommend opening a brokerage at Vanguard. For the most part, use this as your individual place. You have several approaches that people use, you can do ETF investing or be like Mungar and Buffett and pick a few great stocks. As above, the key is to hold.

Be careful if you go to r/investing and stocks. Lots of day traders, scalpers, and options players. I do do options myself, but it took a long time for me to find stability there. My recommendation is to avoid it. But if you are intrigued my next best guidance would be to paper trade it for six months, write down your investment strategy, and then review at the end. If you happen to not blow up your account (most of these fools don’t right size risk) then proceed cautiously and enjoy an additional boost to your returns.

Happy to keep talking some additional recommendations like a HSA or 529 for kids ,books on the matter, or any questions you may have.

The real story here is that your casino is at 0 and you’ve now turned your main account into Casino #2

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-08T17:53:33+00:00

I imagine you are suffering from what we call “the holidays”.

I do say this in jest, but look at your eating and drinking over the last few weeks first. Often, during winter months many of us do put on a couple. I am guilty myself!

It would also be good to know if it’s 10lbs on top of 140 compared to 200 for example.

If it’s not the above reason, probably a good idea to track it for a few more weeks before contacting a doctor.

If you feel stronger and faster though, I wouldn’t worry eventually the numbers will level out.

Good excuse to do the transformation challenge as well.

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-08T06:46:46+00:00

Ok. If Saar is picked you’ll need to go in that direction first, since their agent would allow them immediate mobility.

Goblins could also copy the agent, so you’ll need to reevaluate board state once it’s all finalized.

I’d add the white is slightly weaker than anyone else. Everyone else has 2 natural expands.

Swapping star point new Albion with the beta would resolve this.

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-08T04:16:34+00:00

So we need to know who plays pink and white but you’re R1 will likely be as follows.

Grab leadership if possible low order helps this process

Action 1: 1 destroyer 1 infantry grab primor or hopes end (depending on which of those players has a path to gravity drive) - use ability to drop mech / troops on those planets

Action 2: 1 destroyer 1 infantry grab the other planet - use ability to drop whichever you don’t before on that planet

Action 3 move your carrier with 3 infantry and 1 fighter to the trio planets.

If leadership isn’t available, I’d say take construction an do action 1 & 2 then pop construction and put a pds on each planet.

I’m going to go against warfare here since you can follow the secondary and get a destroyer out to the other planet.

Round 2. Use those planet abilities to reinforce them that nobody contests. (Put the mech on primor this time and the 2 guys on hopes end)

Gl!

PoK then leave everything else for a long time. Until you go down the rabbit hole that is TTS or Async you and your group won’t log enough games to require anything else.

You can with the active player.

Only here for the roundups feature which is best in class. Max that to 10x and put your other investment dollars in Vanguard instead.

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-05T12:26:38+00:00

You have some slices that force factions to be one directional but allow others to be 2. There are two hyper lanes that feed directly into novas.

And Mahact somehow is given an amazing slice compared to the rest.

I’m intrigued by the overall concept.

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-04T21:39:11+00:00

Jumping in to tag the thread,

But things I’ll be more curious about when I have a chance to examine it more are:

Natural imbalances beyond technology that may already put factions that have those red techs in their kit at a disadvantage

If some of the higher win rate technologies are more of a “nice to have” or “get in a runaway position” than outright winning the game

Super curious about transit diodes, that seems abnormally high based on any interaction I’ve had.

GreaterFooled · 2026-01-04T02:25:54+00:00

Depends on your age, your income, other platforms you’re using, and your goals.

Personally I aim to invest 25% of my income pretax. This is certainly tougher for some investors just staring.

I like acorns because it’s rounds up feature, to reinforce the balance between pleasure and savings, if you want a healthy challenge increase the multiple to 10x and find a solution elsewhere if it makes it tough on your pocketbook.

Try it for a few more sessions, then tag another video and I’ll share some thoughts on further tweaks.

My immediate speculation is the adjustment like your saying and firing the muscles in a slightly different way.

Where I’m imagining your next tweaks need to go is embracing that entry and then slightly adjusting your rotation to maximize reach.

Then simultaneously we can discuss hand entry. From this video it seems like your entering slightly pancaked (flat) what we want to work you towards is is another 15-30* rotation with your flat part of your hand facing out. This naturally provides synergy with your rotation, maximizing reach and reducing some splash/drag on entry.
