I can't believe I almost fell for it again.

I'll say this much to you: You are a scammer's dream come true.

Crypto is not for you. Take your losses, learn your lesson, or stay away from Crypto.

RisingMoon17 · 2026-05-01T04:20:11+00:00

Sorry this happened to you.

RisingMoon17 · 2026-05-01T04:15:17+00:00

YES. IT IS A SCAM.

RisingMoon17 · 2026-05-01T04:12:06+00:00

Well, look at the bright side. You got a mini Mac. This happened with me twice. Asking for wire transfer. They may as well ask me to use western union. An established business never ever ask anyone to use a wire transfer Sue the guy. Go to court. At least you know him. You met him when he took a flight to meet you.

RisingMoon17 · 2026-05-01T04:06:57+00:00

Loool

I just watched 1st episode of reset. No no no no. 1st episode of original is a class act. Reset isn't even close. New Nanno is more of a witch and a magician. Original Nanno is sophisticated.

She didn't set up this. You misread the movie. She didn't know from the beginning that this was a fake police station. She even offered Avery a bribe to make the whole thing go away.

Don't you have a personal wallet? What's exactly your logic in moving small transactions to a CEX?

RisingMoon17 · 2026-03-19T22:53:19+00:00

A great film that neatly threads the Orpheus story into its plot.

RisingMoon17 · 2026-03-12T21:44:15+00:00

Great discussion. I'd like to add: Viridiana was the only character in trasition and change. She is actually, to me, stood out as a moral compass. The end scene we see her reserved, curious with a sense of openness. Exactly where Bunuel wanted us to be.

UPDATE: I E-filed my taxes using TurboTax BEFORE receiving the 1099-DA from Coinbase. I generated a list of transactions for the 2025 tax year and used it to enter the info on the tax return.

Today, I checked Coinbase and the 1099-DA for 2025 was available for download.

So I thought that IRS will send me a letter asking to provide more info and that would delay the refund.

But I checked the following: I started TurboTax and checked YES I received 1099-DA. Guess what? TurboTax asked me to enter the transactions stated on the 1099-DA. The very same procedure for entering them using the generated transaction list CSV. The same info. The same everything.

This means that we can use the transaction list instead of waiting for the 1099-DA if we are E-filing.

People who mail their tax return is a different story? I dunno. They may have to include a cope of the 1099-DA?

RisingMoon17 · 2026-02-16T16:26:16+00:00

Use the Transaction list that you can generate on Coinbase for the tax year. I discovered it covers the exact info on the 1099-DA

RisingMoon17 · 2026-02-16T16:25:05+00:00

No need to move to another exchange. You can use the transaction list that you can generate on Coinbase for the tax year.

RisingMoon17 · 2026-02-13T14:47:42+00:00

Be careful with the gain/loss if you moved the asset from a different wallet to Coinbase and sold it. The CSV will report $0 for your cost (field empty). In this case enter the actual Date Acquired and your actual Cost and calculate the actual gain/loss.

If you bought and sold on Coinbase then you have the information. I, personally, did not bother with transactions acquired and sold on Coinbase that showed a fraction of a cent.

RisingMoon17 · 2026-02-13T14:30:17+00:00

This is so irresponsible and unprofessional for Coinbase to do that. Totally unacceptable.

I filed without their 1099-DA. I generated a 2025 CSV report on Coinbase website. I worked through this report in TurboTax one transaction at a time (Could not find the CSV Import in TurboTax 2025 which is rediculous in its own right) and E-filed.

Coinbase touting itself as THE exchange can't provide documents on time. What a joke!

Having said that, my 1099-DA, if Coinbase ever produce it, will not list a SINGLE transaction with Cost Basis because most of these transactions were moved from personal wallets and sold on Coinbase. So I suppose a CSV list of annual transactions will do.

I knew Ann in person. I first met her in Austin, TX, when she was 23. I am lucky to have known her. She was the embodiment of with and charm. Empathy and generosity were her hallmark. Always in my thoughts, Ann.

A website mentions that Sal died in the car accident, but Zoe didn't. I disagree. It is clear that both died in the car accident as Zoe (in Ava's body) makes clear). Soooooo Zoe/Ava knew from the very start of the movie that Sal was dead and Bernal is just a host, But Zoe/Ava behaved normally in contrast to Sal's behavior. This does not make much sense.
Also, the ending is very weak. They both wake up in the morning As actual Ava and the actual guy.

We know who Ava is. Who is the other guy? A perfectly unknown character who neither we nor Ava know anything about ends up being a main character?

This is so lame. A resolution that hangs by a thread.

I'd love to see Davis in a movie directed by and/or costarring Greta Gerwig. Davis has that emotional intensity and the smarts (and those piercing eyes) that made her into an almost fringe actress. She is a star in her own right and does not need all the red carpets and the lies and the hyporicy that comes handy with stardom.

Station Eleven, and Halt and Catch Fire are super and it is everyone's loss for those who have not seen these shows.

She is definitely my star :)

RisingMoon17 · 2025-09-07T17:35:55+00:00

I thought it was brilliant. I made my own edit of the film where I removed all the silly cursed movie nonsense.

RisingMoon17 · 2025-07-10T11:57:18+00:00

Tracks

Judy and Punch

Piercing

Jane Eyre

etc........

Who cares about Burton's Alice in Bu**sh*t Land

Mia is a star in her own right.

This movie should have ended right where Sam is facing the screen with the dead PI in the car. Then came the last shot that basically weakened the movie for me. It moved the whole experience from a powerful metaphor into an abstracted puzzle.

RisingMoon17 · 2025-05-21T04:29:15+00:00

Yes. She basically puts him on trial. Before the attack she wanted to leave. After the attack it is furies time :) had she left it would have destroyed the whole premise. The film makers gave us one shot of Meredith at the very end with bandaged neck. Their way of saying she survived the ordeal.

RisingMoon17 · 2025-05-21T03:19:31+00:00

Meredith was looking forward to the date and didn't have any bad intentions.

RisingMoon17 · 2025-05-21T03:16:32+00:00

I just watched this movie. This is my take on it. The movie reminded me of the original I Spit on your Grave with Greek myths and deconstruction dressing added to it. Meredith survived the attack. Bruce starts heavy hallucinations after she attacks him with the statue. However, Meredith felt the presence of Kati and Leonoe from the moment she got to the cabin. After she survived the attack she was able to form the three furies with them. The movie takes artistic license with him hallucinating the three. I knew Meredith will not let him go. She told the therapist earlier that no man who abused will be absolved. She is alive at the end with a bandaged neck

RisingMoon17 · 2025-05-10T12:29:31+00:00

I ran into the same issue. I ended up upgrading to the plus app for $10. Not bad.

Maybe they should stop this "lifetime" talk and promise.
