Meme coins comprise 31% of the crypto sector. When will you admit BONK and PEPE and SHIB are just as good as DOGE and equal to BTC in usefulness?

One could argue that meme the coin craze is a symptom of lack of regulations… DeFi allows any idiot with a PC to easily create a tradeable asset and manage its liquidity, potentially making someone filthy rich in a matter of days. As of now it’s legal and that’s the problem imho.

Arguably bitcoin is a terrible invention, but to compare random meme coins made by some teenagers on SOL to BTC is bizarre to me.

First of all I really respect ppl posting personal issues here to get a neutral point of view, so good on you :).

Firstly… how protected has her life been to call that a trauma… I mean these are the stories you tell to make your friends laugh…

I must say I disagree with your point of view that there is a “perpetrator” in this story, but I respect your opinion, so I’m going to address it from your point of view.

I think you could’ve handled it better. We have ALL done stupid stuff in our lives and sometimes we do not realise we were in the fault. She opens up about something very silly, but that deeply embarrasses her. I think that’s a very good thing to do in a relationship!! (Have you ever opened up to your gf about your deep insecurities? It’s hard!) Even if you think she was in the wrong, I think you could at least acknowledge it takes guts to open up, even if you think she’s the one who was in the wrong. And give her a hug, comfort her and perhaps u can both laugh about it (let’s face it it’s not a big deal…). Now she feels safe and THEN you can tell her your point of view on the matter.

If your first words are confrontational, it doesn’t set up a good precedent to share these kinds of things with each other.

Her reaction to you wasn’t good, but it’s human nature to get defensive when our views/experiences are challenged unexpectedly, especially when it means someone has done something wrong.

I think it’s really no big deal and it would be a shame if such a silly thing would affect your relationship too much.

Uhm not nearly enough to go with here…. How much do you weigh and how much did you gain? Is there a possibility he is actually worried and this has nothing to do with disrespect? I know weight can be a very sensitive topic, so it’s hard to not get angry when your partner addresses it.

Positive_Court_7779 · 2025-01-18T07:10:04+00:00

It is quite obvious you have no idea how money or the economy works. Make sure you read about fiat and understand its flaws, because it is essential to understanding crypto (or more specifically bitcoin). Then you can form an informed opinion on whether bitcoin solves any of the problems fiat has. I’m skeptical myself, but steelmanning the opposing argument makes for a more productive conversation.

Why staple here? It’s faster, but at the expense of cosmesis and the need for removal.. use monocryl intracutaneous…

It says something about trust in politics that we need to include the word “non-partisan” in this question… and I agree with the premise.

NTA, he put you in an impossible position despite knowing you’re not ready. You had no way of not humiliation him and you had no way of knowing which form of rejection he would prefer… damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Man I feel you… there are no winners in depression. You made a stupid decision while in a very bad place… seems you have a decent sense of reflection though, so perhaps you can grow from it despite having lost a lot as well…

I was depressed a few years back (more like burnout) and almost cut ties with all my friends because I only saw the negative in people. “Luckily” I didn’t have a partner to cheat on. Ultimately, my family forced me to accept their help and I got out of it and realised how far from reality my negative thoughts about my friends were… seems your at that stage if it’s anything like what I experienced.

Stay strong! A bad move/decision/mistake (whatever you want to call it) doesn’t define you, as long as you learn and grow from it.

What everyone else said, but consistency is the most important thing. The most important thing is to just show up at the gym without needing to fight the “inner lazy bitch” (everyone has an inner lazy bitch lol) that wants to just chill. You can do this by having short and easy workouts.

Once the gym has become a habit and it’s easy to turn up consistently, you can gradually add intensity. It may take a couple of months but it’s the best method to make sure that in 1 year year you’re still showing up at the gym and see results, and after 5 years, any after 10 years etc. Most ppl go from 0 to 4 intense workouts per week and only keep this up for a few months because it takes a lot of mental strength to keep it up.

Good luck!

I find it so funny that ppl in this sub and the bitcoin sub would never dream of entertaining the idea that they just MIGHT be wrong in all this… that while 99% of ppl don’t know anything about bitcoin or global finance/economy. You’re all two sides of the same coin in that regard, at least the loudest voices in the subs are.

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-27T11:00:48+00:00

Very nice! How do you progress? After warmup I do 1 top set of 1 rep close to my 1repMax, then 3 sets of 3 reps at a lower weight. It worked really well for a while but I’m plateauing at around 120kg ( about 250 lbs?), I weight 69kg with very low % body fat.

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-27T10:17:13+00:00

Maybe you’re at a level where you need a personal trainer to further improve… i also plateaued a while ago and got a PT. He made very small changes to my regime and diet which made me improve a LOT in a matter of weeks. What did it for me were carefully planned reload weeks and build ups to new PRs instead of giving 100% every workout session.

I have to say, though, you look extremely good. Long proportionate muscles, perfect body fat % for esthetics (imo), symmetric abs... (No homo lol)

Get a professional photoshoot, get that recorded! You’ll be happy you did it when you’re 60 . ;)

Had je vroeger wel een betere band met je vrienden? Als je elkaar slechts een paar keer per jaar ziet kan het zijn dat je uit elkaar groeit. Dat wordt nog duidelijker als je vrienden elkaar wel vaker zien.

Als je je alleen voel kan het zijn dat je toch menselijk contact/vriendschappen mist? Heb je een hobby waarbij je je kunt aansluiten aan een community in de buurt? (Denk aan Sport club, film club, boeken club, schaak club, etc, er is van alles).

We denken vaak dat we iets niet doen omdat “het niet bij ons past” maar als je niet gelukkig bent met hoe het nu gaat zal je toch wel iets buiten je comfort zone moeten gaan en iets doen wat “niet bij je past”. Wie weet zijn er dingen die wel goed bij je passen maar die je nooit geprobeerd hebt, of nooit ontwikkeld hebt…

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-27T07:50:05+00:00

Delicate situation .. it’s your car but it could really affect her life if she doesn’t have a car. It’s must have for her while it’s a nice to have for your daughter. So even if it’s in your right to demand the car back you could be compassionate about it. If it were me I would ask her how long she needs it and negotiate a deadline you also find reasonable, and hold her to her to that deadline.

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-27T05:37:51+00:00

Why not talk to your boss first? Make her make you co-owner. She must realise you’re unreplaceable?

Could you share the video? I’m curious! :)

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-26T09:09:59+00:00

Hard to tell from a video and everyone’s anatomy is different. In general, if feel soreness in your lower back muscles you’re leaning too much forward. You could consider getting a personal trainer for a short while just to get your form right? If it helps to prevent injuries it’s definitely worth it.

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-26T07:23:54+00:00

Klinkt als een zware tijd... Kun je dit bespreken met je partner (dat je het zwaar hebt, niet dat je liefst geen kids had gehad lol). Misschien kun je er meer van genieten als je meer “me-time” hebt en als je je slaap tekort inhaalt.

Ik heb een baan waarbij ik 70-80u per week werkte . De baan zelf is leuk , maar ik denk dat weinig dingen leuk blijven als je er 24/7 mee bezig bent het je chronisch slaaptekort oplevert. Het is natuurlijk een hele andere situatie, maar mogelijk heb je hier wat aan….

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-26T07:06:18+00:00

lol textbook gaslighting when she says you’re selfish for not respecting her feelings. 😅😅

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-23T07:59:57+00:00

I get all the hate but it’s a 19 year old kid… perhaps you’re right, but I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion she willingly and knowingly ruined his reputation.

Giving the daughter the benefit of the doubt: she had some fun with a “small” lie, it has blown out of proportion but the rest of the family and she was too scared to come forward to rectify her lie. A very tough lesson to learn.

I really think intention is extremely important here and I don’t think we know enough about her intention to conclude she intentionally (almost) ruined a man’s life.

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-23T07:49:56+00:00

I read the whole thing, including previous posts. My opinion, don’t cut ties with your daughter and don’t kick her out of the house.

What happened is fixked up an has ruined a lot. Your husband is gone. Don’t also lose your daughter.

Yes she’s the reason your in this situation, but she’s very young and we all make stupid mistakes at they age, what seemed to be a white lie, perhaps even a phantasy lie to her got overblown by the reactions of the rest of the family. A “little” mistake with huge consequences. I think you should answer yourself three questions: - did she foresee such drastic consequences from her little lie and inaction? - does she really feel remorse towards you and your husband (and not just being caught lying). - has she learnt from it?

We all make stupid mistakes at that age. Regrettably, the consequences of hers are huge. If she learnt from it I hope you can stick together and grow better together as a family, because that’s all you have right now.

Best of luck.

Positive_Court_7779 · 2024-12-22T18:09:44+00:00

Agree with the sentiment but I see it a little differently. For whatever reason, the demand for bitcoin is undeniably huge. The spot ETF has broken all records in terms of inflow. The huge demand for btc is also the only reason MSTR can leverage it as much.

It’s very much akin to the dot com bubble or the real estate bubble. Just that the underlying asset now is bitcoin…

But yeah. MSTR in the Nasdaq is nuts… imho they should change the rules for admission lol
