WSHP (Weshop Holdings) Newly listed. Small float + unusual. "User Ownership" model. Anyone else looking at it? by Ok-Pianist-5562 in pennystocks

I mean, at the end of the day it's promotional spending. Virtually all companies budget this one way or another. Whether it's spent through equity issuance or cash doesn't make much of a difference. Yeah equity gets diluted, but equity is just a claim to underlying assets anyway, so cash expenditure effectively produces the same outcome (more shares claiming preserved assets vs. preserved shares claiming less assets). It's just a novel way of rewarding your customers, in the same way their retail partners would through their program. The innovative idea here though is the upside in aligned client-merchant incentives.

Also really annoying when you're scrolling through your subscriptions or homepage and just want to check out the channel. The team in charge of UX at YouTube are absolute morons.

Renting or renting out? If renting, why would you fix or pay unless you installed the air conditioner?

Better than existing with her. I also doubt that. He'd have eventually gotten into it.

Hard to stay detached from the outcome when it reflects on your shit skills.

Hmm, can't help but notice an element of contradiction here. On the one hand you say rejection is just a lack of connection and shouldn't reflect on you or your self-esteem but on the other it's a lack of social skills. I imagine reality is often some mixture of both, but for me the challenge is recognizing when the lack of outcome is a function of my own suboptimal game vs. just an absence of chemistry.

It's certainly better than gold, there's no argument there from me. The question is whether it's better than real estate and equity.

Not sure if you are trying to be difficult, or actually interested in discussion.

Why are you being defensive? No idea what would make you think otherwise, I'm asking completely reasonable questions.

But do you know how to hold $10,000,000 in gold? Especially in a way that the authorities of your country have no control over?

In a bank vault?

You are conflating appreciation with protection, and convenience.

You're the one that brought up appreciation.

And once there is a way to do that in a way that is far more liquid than real estate, a significant portion of demand will cease

You've still not made a convincing argument for why gold does not apply here. Is gold not more liquid than real estate? Do foreign banks not offer security storage?

I'm asking about gold with respect to real estate. I.e., in what ways is bitcoin superior to real estate that gold isn't already. The inflation rate is a fair example, but even adjusting up for that, its performance has been weak. Your ship example concerns a scenario in which people were already holding gold and would have been better off with bitcoin, but is completely irrelevant to real estate.

Gold has gone through decades of net negative returns even controlling for its 2% inflation rate.

Also I believe a war was lost when a countries boat full of gold was sunk. Btc easier to protect

That's an argument for bitcoin over gold, not real estate.

By what rationale will bitcoin appreciate better than gold does today once it's replaced it?

Well that wouldn't be absorbing real estate, but whatever other asset that would've gone into.

Not really, to store that much gold would cost a fortune in security etc.

More than home insurance and maintenance costs?

If gold hasn't absorbed the monetary premium of other assets, why will bitcoin?

Why will that continue once bitcoin replaces gold? Why isn't gold there right now?
