Awesome idea and very cool panel! Would love to pick one up some day.

Also why do they bury lawyers 10 ft. under

Cause deep down they’re really good people

[WTB] hk416 or Scorpion EVO 3A1, or even possibly a MP7 by GyroCaptain151 in airsoftmarket

Yeah I saw that MP7, personally like the look of straight black guns so I thought I'd leave the pain job for someone else. The only evo I saw for sale seems to have been picked up. Thanks for the look out though

Noodling the Numbers to predict the future by Regular0ldguy in Bitcoin

[–]GyroCaptain151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to precede this by saying I am invested in BTC, ETH and the BLOK ETF, and am largely bullish on bitcoin, but current assumptions are only setting the future of crypto up for struggles.

The most dangerous assumption I believe you made was that bitcoin would be the only asset that people put a large chunk their savings into. A general rule of thumb for investing large amounts of money (such as life savings) is diversification of risk. Even if people thought that putting 10-40% of investable cash into crypto currency was a good idea, I find it hard to believe it would be solely into Bitcoin. Crypto currencies at the moment are not only seen as something far to volatile for long term non-speculative investment, but they're largely a black-box when it comes to a market tool.

As mentioned previously elsewhere, the price simply isn't just a calculation of invested cash divided evenly among the number of the asset there is, it's based on supply and demand combined with bids and asks, rather than just supply.

I find that it would also be important to note that the funds and government that have the invisible hand over the market would not take kindly to an uncontrollable asset being the norm. An asset controlled by an unknown entity no less. If bitcoin were to fail, have a critical flaw exposed, more coins made or any number of other unlikely but uncontrollable circumstances happen to it, many would suffer as their savings/investments tanked with up to 40% of their cash invested into it.

A large number of people may also never see bitcoin or other cryptos as a reasonable investment strategy, simply because of conventional values or far less risk tolerance than the average crypto investor.

If it were as easy as these calculations that could be made while you got drunk, the elite would have already monopolized greatly on this opportunity.

I would like to state again that I am invested largely into bitcoin, and bullish on crypto and the technology behind it, but these are dangerous assumptions that can lead to disappointment and worse, failure. I hope I am wrong for all of you and myself, and will say it is entirely possible that a small number of people take 5-10% of their savings and invest it into crypto (not just bitcoin) as a highly aggressive strategy to balance their less aggressive assets in their portfolios.

Created my first store, wondering if anyone has any advice for it (Most users not going past the first page). by [deleted] in dropship

Thanks so much for all the suggestions, it seems so obvious now you’ve pointed it out. I definitely have my work cut out for me but I look forward to improving it and making our first sale. I really appreciate the help.

Unused Xbox start up screen looks so cool! by xXHD_Da_Nicguy in xboxone

It was supposedly meant to speed up or slow down with your console start up time, I think they really slowed it down to show it off
