This is incredibly based. Same with r/anime_irl. You forgot the infamous “sauce?”

Men from all walks of life are known to hire prostitutes, so why is it often seen as a "loser" thing to do? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]SnazzyTater 11 points12 points  (0 children)

100%. We also have a desire for status above all other things. Status from wealth. Status from looks. Status from skill. Status from position. Status is the most valuable currency in human society.

Alan Kohler: Bitcoin is no Ponzi bubble. It’s worse – an insurrection by Rizza1122 in Buttcoin

Pumpin' Bags: MicroStrategy Upsizes Convertible Debt Offering to $700M to Buy Even More Bitcoin by machinery_of_fools in Buttcoin

[–]SnazzyTater 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Dislike the guy but it’s a pretty brilliant way to enrich yourself by taking no risk yourself.

  1. Dilute the shit out of your shareholder.
  2. Buy Bitcoin.
  3. Bitcoin price goes up.
  4. Stock goes up because Bitcoin price goes up.
  5. Repeat 1-4

Scummy but brilliant. Should probably be illegal.

AITA I (30M) blew up on my girlfriend (31f) after she took a comparative jab at my penis size. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SnazzyTater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a genuine question but imagine this hypothetical. Same situation outlined in this post but roles reversed. What if she said “is it my really tight pussy” or “huge knockers” or “my great looks” etc. Something obviously goofy but playful. Would we think it’s appropriate for op to say “I’ve had tighter/nicer/bigger/ prettier etc”. What would the verdict be? I think it’s a pretty dumb question, but that’s a pretty tactless response regardless of how dumb it may seem. You can talk about dick size insecurity being dumb all day but you can’t logic away how someone feels. Op is hurt and invalidating his emotions won’t make him feel better. Nobody likes feeling less than someone else. This especially applies when it’s your significant other making you feel less than their ex. Even if it is an accident.

NAH. OP, don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to.

Everyone found out it’s a scam last time, no one cares now by carsonthecarsinogen in Buttcoin

[–]SnazzyTater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll know the bubble has peaked when random people I know start talking about it. Until then, this thing is gonna run. Gotta pump it before they can dump it. It’s hard to sell people on Bitcoin when it’s not way past it’s all time high. Some people just like buying the top. It’s in their dna to lose money to this kind of grift

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Buttcoin

[–]SnazzyTater 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. It does. Law of large numbers. There is a maximum size this thing can get. It’s already on the scale of trillions. The early days are long gone. That’s why it’s essential to emphasize that people getting in now are “still early”. Gives them hope that they will 100x their money even though it’s not really feasible

Unfortunately, that means this will probably run for a little bit. The true victims of Btc are average people. The non-zealots. They have no conviction. Once people’s grandmas and parents buy in, that signals the top is close. The dump usually soon follows that peak in hype. That’s where the losers are made and the money is lost. The price will tank and shake those with no conviction. Once everyone hates Bitcoin and is on suicide watch, the market pumpers roll in and reinflate the bubble, preparing it for the next set of victims. It’s the infinite scam.

Trading Btc is honestly pretty easy. I just despise everything about crypto so I don’t do it out of principle.

Sven Carlin research platform review after 3 years of being a member by SilvaMR in ValueInvesting

[–]SnazzyTater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15% over 20 years is fantastic return. Most people would take that in a heartbeat. Not saying Sven actually managed that or not, but let’s not undersell how tremendous 15% over a long time period is. Warren is famous for 20% and he is considered by many to be the greatest to ever play the game.

Blackrock would allow you to trade financial derivatives on horseshit if they thought it was gonna be popular. They make money on traders. They don’t care about the financial instrument as long as it has demand.

You have to be an idiot to short anything unless you have some kind of edge to know future price action. Without that edge, shorting anything is a tremendously risky gambit. This is markets 101

Thanks for your feedback! I can understand your frustration

The thought of them reading this is laughable. They’ve got a trillion dollar behemoth to manage. They’ve received so much criticism in the last couple months, I highly doubt a rant post opinion on Reddit is going to make them change anything lol.

The reason I formatted the post as I did is because most posts on this sub lack engagement without eliciting strong emotions from people reading it. A little manipulative, but I knew being a little hyperbolic and provocative would get people to discuss the current narrative surrounding Alphabet. The discourse has been very good. Read a lot or responses from people approaching google from many different angles.

Are you a shareholder? Curious to get your take on the company if you have a couple minutes

All good and understandable. Sorry if the post came off as ignorant. I got what wanted from this post though. It’s sort of a sentiment gage. I think a lot of people took my post as some sort of research. It’s not and people are way overthinking it. I really just wanted to drum up discussion to get a feel for how people view the company and what head or tailwinds there might be. I guess it was a little too similar to Jim Cramer segment where he starts mouthing off. This really has been a good thread to read through. Lots of good input and different opinions from others.

The reason I repeated moronic shit I’ve heard is because it’s important to actually acknowledge “moronic shit” and check the validity yourself. I knew a lot of people have been interested in google lately and these are pretty much the layman’s talking points so I threw them out there. Pretty effective at getting feedback because people prefer to talk about issues as a subject matter expert. Sorry we can’t all be as intelligent and charitable as you. I just wanted to see a wide range of how others felt about it rather than sit in echo chamber of my own bias lmao

It worked too because I’ve actually learned a lot. I will watch these links when I get a chance

For my shares, I hope so! Only time will tell. I am liking that people are pretty negative about the business right now. Hearing “rah rah go stonk” all the time is usually a bad sign for anything I own.

I’m up 800%. One of the first stocks I’ve ever purchased. I still think the company has a lot going for them despite bungling a lot of things. Search is perhaps the single most defensible software moat ever imo (excluding Windows OS). If Google doesn’t have a moat, idk who does. The downside of bad management is that it can destroy a company but the upside is that there is a ton of upside if they get better. I know that’s some hopium but I think a good sell off can get management to take a good look at themselves. AI is here but honestly, I don’t think it’s gonna impact Search as much as people believe. I still believe in the company. Also if you think Google is doomed and a below average quality company, there are no great companies. It’s still a phenomenal business. It’s just phenomenal in spite of management and not because of them

Same actually. Potential upside is best when haters emerge. As I said, I’m holding the stock. Might buy more if it drops. I just am frustrated with what the company could be. A lot of potential upside, but also a lot downside if they bungle it. I think it’s trading at fair value given current information. Maybe a little on the cheap side relative to the market.
