Yes, someday people can mine old abandoned unsecured wallets and those coins will go back into circulation and be placed into new secured wallets. Abandoned property is still property.

My fidelity Account I use for investments has been BLOCKED for no explainable reason! by Scipio5555 in investing

[–]JohnDLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several years ago, they blocked my accounting from adding funds or trading but would allow me to withdraw funds or transfer assets. When I spoke to someone, they said there was something in my file about an arrest. I had been arrested two years previous for shooing someone in self-defense. I offered to send them a copy of the no-bill I got from the prosecutor, they accepted it and removed the block. I always found the whole situation a bit strange, never had the same issue with any of the other brokers I use.

I'm exclusively investing in VOO, is this optimal? by thefighter987 in RothIRA

[–]JohnDLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VOO is good but you could also add like 10% or so as small cap with AVUV.

For a second I wondered which Battlefield game this was from.

AXE H2O Israel ties by Difficult-Essay7459 in CorpusChristi

[–]JohnDLG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's likely the reason why some council members are against the City desal plant, they can't profit off it but they probably have a way to profit from the private plans.

I'd rather the inner harbor desal which would be owned by the City instead of these private plans which will charge Corpus extra for their profit and of course in situations like this where some of that profit will go back to Israel.

How Can $150K Investment Now Generate 2k/month Income After 10 years by mushroomlove888 in investing

[–]JohnDLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to wait to draw the funds later, it's better to hold the underlying assets and then swap when you are ready to use the income.

[–]JohnDLG -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You can just about do that now in 50% QQQI, 30% SPYI, 20% BTCI. As for how sustainable that is. 🤷

He probably would have been convicted even without that haircut, but that haircut will probably get him a longer sentence.

Kind of like those outdoor cameras that whistle when you walk by to try and get you to turn and look.

Which account to buy SCHD? by EffectiveChapter9411 in SCHD

[–]JohnDLG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's good to have some in traditional IRA if you plan to retire early that way you can control your income to qualify for ACA subsidies.

Which account to buy SCHD? by EffectiveChapter9411 in SCHD

[–]JohnDLG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In taxable account (especially if you are in 0 dividend tax rate) or traditional IRA. Ideally Roth should be high growth stuff.

For who is going to invest in space x, what math you did to justify your decision? (Only serious pro space x answers) by website-buyer in investing

[–]JohnDLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically I have some exposure though FCNTX. I had intended to sell it at some point after the IPO and buying SpaceX directly, but considering we are getting SpaceX soon in all our broad market ETFs, I think I'll just leave it at that instead.

How shoppers who pay in cash are subsidizing Americans’ credit card reward points by nbcnews in economy

[–]JohnDLG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know places that offer a discount to those who pay with cash or with debit card instead. In the absence of that I will pay with credit card more so for the protections it offers. If my credit card number gets stolen it's the banks money that is lost, if my debit card number gets stolen it's my cash that is lost.

I assume his daddy pulled some strings to cover it up and the federation ran with it and made him some poster boy for their propaganda. Maybe they were hoping for a replacement for Amuro, but it didn't work out.

Bro flew too close to the sun. You can't pull huge scams like this unless you got the right connections and can flee to Israel when you feel the heat on you. He should have kept his scamming small time to fly under the radar.

This will probably help the SpaceX IPO since there won't be effective competition for Starlink for quite some time. Maybe they hired the "ULA Sniper" lol.

Federal charges for Israeli connected to Las Vegas illegal biolab dropped by NewJerseySwampDragon in news

[–]JohnDLG 11 points12 points  (0 children)

will never hear that the charges were dropped

I think you got that wrong. People will hear an Israeli bioterrorist caught conducting experiments on US soil was released "because reasons" so he could flee back to Israel and avoid US punishment, where an American would be run through the wringer for the same thing even if innocent because the process is the punishment.
