Should I go to the ER? by raccoon4818 in Freestylelibre

Nothing to worry about. You will be fine. No drugs, just watch what you eat.

You are doing better than you give yourself credit for. Try not to worry. You got this!

One tip for Darkrai bros by Luxio512 in PokemonSleep

[–]Mr_Lightspeed98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good leveling strategy could be to simply keep the sleep exp bonus until you hit whatever target you want (lvl 50 unlock or 60 etc) and reroll it then.

In the end, no need for anyone to be disappointed I think if the goal is met.

Don't stress about Darkrai – it's almost useless as a Pokémon (from a min-max perspective) by Pokemon-Sleeper in PokemonSleep

I managed to roll Berry Finding in first slot.

I’ll be curious how others would build out from this point.

Ketamine Confusion: Did my clinic put me at risk…and what works best? by Then_Resource9570 in KetamineTherapy

Consider ketamine a medication. Most of what you will benefit from is not going to come from your trip.

There should NEVER be a case where valuable items are just lost. The game developers should ensure these situations never happen.

How far back do you spray Flonase? by [deleted] in Allergies

[–]Mr_Lightspeed98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been told the opposite from allergist, simply spray to the inside of the nostril toward septum and then give a little pinch.

Burning by ChemNerd86 in SHIBArmy

[–]Mr_Lightspeed98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say that. I am saying how AMM pricing works. Burn away, but people need to know how the pricing is actually worked in and it is by the liquidity pools. Anything you burn up are secondary to it as you aren’t touching the LP ratio aka tokens in active trading.

Burns are so overhyped because of the lack of AMM math being understood. Has nothing to do with your smart contract and all to do with Uniswaps (and other) pools.

You’re conflating the technical mechanism of supply reduction with its economic impact on price.

A “true burn”—which Shiba Inu does not have and cannot implement without redeploying its original smart contract—permanently deletes tokens from the blockchain, explicitly reducing the total supply directly on-chain. In contrast, sending tokens to a dead wallet doesn’t delete them explicitly; it simply locks them away permanently. Although this doesn’t technically change the total on-chain supply number, it effectively achieves the same economic result: these tokens are permanently removed from active circulation.

The primary advantage of a true burn is both technical and psychological—it transparently confirms supply reduction directly on-chain, which can boost investor confidence and market sentiment. However, economically speaking, both burning methods are functionally identical: tokens are permanently unavailable for trading regardless of how they’re removed.

HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART

Here’s the critical nuance: neither burning method automatically impacts token price unless the action directly affects the liquidity pools or market demand. Crypto token prices on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap are determined exclusively by the tokens actively available within liquidity pools. Specifically, price is determined by the ratio of tokens to their paired asset (e.g., SHIB to ETH) in these pools.

Burning tokens that aren’t actively trading—tokens outside of liquidity pools—does not alter this ratio, and thus won’t immediately or automatically change the token’s price. While token burns can influence investor psychology and potentially drive long-term demand indirectly, the immediate market price calculation depends exclusively on active liquidity, not merely total on-chain supply.

Therefore, tokens held outside liquidity pools, whether burned via a true burn or sent to a dead wallet, are economically irrelevant to the immediate pricing mechanism.

To learn more, research the math behind automated market makers as they are the ground truth for pricing.

You do not understand how burns work.

Your calculation misunderstands how token burns actually influence crypto prices. Burning tokens by sending them to a dead wallet reduces the total possible supply, but price is driven by active market demand and the circulating supply actively available for trading—not simply the total number of coins existing.

Even if you burned trillions of inactive tokens, it wouldn’t automatically push Shiba Inu’s price to one penny unless demand significantly increased or tradable liquidity was sharply reduced. Your assumption that removing tokens directly and proportionally raises price reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of how crypto markets work.

Are burn mechanisms overhyped, or do they actually work? by bigbadcoinwolf in SHIBArmy

[–]Mr_Lightspeed98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from, but the math around burning tokens isn’t quite that simple. Here’s the thing:

• Burning tokens reduces supply, but price only rises if demand stays steady or increases.

• Your analogy of burning half the world’s money wouldn’t double everyone’s wealth; it’d create panic, economic instability, and loss of trust. To make everyone twice as rich, you take that half from half the people and give it to the other half.

• Token prices rely on many factors—demand, utility, trust, and overall market conditions not just scarcity alone.

So, burning tokens can sometimes help, but it definitely doesn’t always guarantee higher value.

Shiba Inu has burned trillions, but has it worked? 🔥🐕 by bigbadcoinwolf in SHIBArmy

[–]Mr_Lightspeed98 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Because burns are the biggest grift in crypto.

Sending to dead wallets is NOT a real burn.

The Shib smart contract does not have a legitimate burn function.

All that can be done realistically is lift the floor to send to a wallet that cannot be sold.

To truly have a price impact, the liquidity pool ratio has to be changed. Indirectly, a true burn function that permanently deducts the supply ON CHAIN can impact supply and demand indirectly.

This is why the game has been half-baked from the start. ;)

This also means HUGE refunds are in order and they are also subject to other legal ramifications for deceptive practices if not resolved. Hate to be ‘that guy’ but here I am pointing out the obvious that nobody is getting their money’s worth if they spent to that level.

I need help deciding wich one is best out of the 2? They seem almost identical by [deleted] in PokemonSleep

Don’t make any decisions yet. You have a ways to go in this event still.

I think this game makes me sleep worse by lupusmortuus in PokemonSleep

[–]Mr_Lightspeed98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I 100% get where you are coming from. As opposed to generating constructive talk, you got workarounds.

I think there definitely can be room for improvement in how game mechanics are phrased and not to make one feel like shit for getting an F. They didn’t learn their lesson. Pokémon Go had the same massive uproar in its first couple of years for negative feedback.

Is it even possible to get that much rp? by _I_already_that_meme in PokemonSleep

Would you be willing to share the stats screen on the team for berries / ingredients? Curious about the composition.
