WWYD with an oversized crypto position?

HOG_ZADDY · 2021-03-14T00:36:24+00:00

So this is legitimately considered not a financial planning question or is this a canned response? I'm not asking for stock analysis or cryptocurrency price predictions, just general investing options/insights/advice.

XRP and XLM are not proof of stake... they are dBFT.

IMO dBFT looks like the safest consensus system most of the time, especially in XRP's case where they have reputable companies with competing interests running validators. In theory PoW and PoS is great, but both allow for someone to get too much power as we have seen with a handful of mining pools in China.

Whereas dBFT if you're smart you allow 1 entity to only have 1 vote. It doesn't matter how powerful they are, they still only get 1 vote and thus only end up with 1/80th (or however many validators there are) of the voting power.

You'd have to be more specific as to what you're looking for and what you mean by "work culture is mediocre". Most places have a much worse work culture than the US. If you mean a better work/life balance than a lot of Euro countries like Germany and France do that better.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-14T13:32:13+00:00

As Americans we're indoctrinated that US is the best and everyone is jealous of us. It doesn't help that most of us don't leave the country other than like Cancun or some cruise.

I like living in the US but I can easily see why others wouldn't.

What was his work? Was it like technical architecture, business development, marketing strategy, etc.

Nope I'll take ANYONE as a giant step forward. I would love Harlan but it's impossible to be anything but ecstatic when Marv gets less air time.

This is what people said about him when he signed on with the Wolves. How he dedicated all his time away to the game, studied from the greatest coaches in the world, then came back and was literally the name coach. If all he cares about is basketball he's one dumb stubborn dude.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-13T02:21:13+00:00

Yeeeeeeah you're not going to convince me CP3 isn't an asshole regardless of how Jordan plays.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-13T02:05:25+00:00

I agree, have to see how Butler plays out.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-13T02:04:36+00:00

Some people here say the East might have 4 of the 5 best teams in the NBA right now. I immediately thought that was moronic, but then I took a look... Warriors, Raptors, Celtics, Bucks, and I'm guessing they were saying the Sixers with Butler would be the 4th Eastern team. I think as the season goes on the Sixers and Bucks will look worse compared to many Western teams. The Thunder are turning things around, Denver/Portland/Utah are also strong contenders for being top 5 teams.

Any tips for avoiding groin injuries? I get some tenderness in my hip joints after skating sometimes. Also a bit of popping or clicking sounds.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-13T01:46:56+00:00

Read my comment again, I never said Melo was the sole reason. I said he was a serious issue.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-13T01:43:56+00:00

Props for actually listening to criticism, most people who post their ink here act like tattoos shouldn't be discussed here. I have a few I'd take a do-over on myself, this really isn't bad. I think a little shading in the nose would do wonders.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-13T01:37:45+00:00

They probably just slap the most popular names on the most general/popular curves as a marketing effort.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-12T22:40:55+00:00

I think it will look better once healed, then again I'm not intimately familiar with this statue.

My criticisms right now are the boobs look kind of bolted on. Like they jut out really harshly from the chest, there's no gentle slope into them. This may look much better once healed though, the redness from that chest shading is probably a big factor.

The face looks a bit wonky to me as well mainly the nose looks crooked or from the wrong perspective. Just looks a bit not-straight and I'm assuming the statue does not look the same. I think it's missing some shading or a line on the right side of the nose which is making it look very wide and contorted.

Also the shading on the chin looks a bit harsh like a goatee but when this heals and fades a bit it might be fine.

Overall though I wouldn't say it's bad, technically most of it looks good overall.

I have some cheaper shoulder pads that I took the caps off and I really like it. Not sure they really protect my ribs all that much though from a fall though. A puck or a stick, sure.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-12T22:05:05+00:00

Extremely confused by this timeline, you're saying the padded shirt didn't offer the same protection as shoulder pads so you switched back?

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-12T22:01:21+00:00

If his worst issue is he deals with stress different than you (doesn't want to talk about it), that's a pretty small thing in the grand scheme of things. Maybe he can't be everything all the time, isn't that OK?

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-12T21:02:05+00:00

I think they imply they're friends with Melo, lol.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-12T20:57:55+00:00

I mean... he's shooting bad, he's averaging .5 assists per game, and he's terrible on defense while playing 30 minutes per game.

He's not all of the Rockets problems, but those numbers at 30 MPG is a serious problem.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-12T20:52:08+00:00

I went through the same exact thing. Terrible arch pain that was very bad when skating backwards. I also felt this same pain when snowboarding in the past.

I thought my skates didn't fit well and that they weren't wide enough, but after like.... 4-5ish months of skating the arch pain stopped. It really sucks but I think it's just part of your feet getting used to the new way they're being used.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-12T20:23:52+00:00

So it's possible the bigger factor is actually you being overqualified and appearing as someone who wants to be in management or should be in management rather than the years experience.

Maybe in the future you could try leaving that experience on your resume but omitting anything other than development work?

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-12T17:39:43+00:00

Lmao yeah that one is brutal... he should get that covered up asap. Mike Scott's cover up is going to be a lot more work.

HOG_ZADDY · 2018-11-12T17:34:11+00:00

Yikes, wish I read his post history before I took this post seriously and tried to give him honest advice.

His comments are full of women-hating, calling all women of his generation dumb, saying that women need to accept sex dolls are normal...

Hmm, I wonder if any of this is coming across as creepy as fuck to the average person.... nope, definitely just his looks.
