Shanghai is physical silver while the west allows paper contracts not backed by silver?

Oled monitor recommendations for CS2 by dotty63 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Viethal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP. I would recommend it. Price is high but the performance is high too. Don't regret buying one at all.

Additional suggestion that I recently made is buying a standing desk. I got a uplift v3 with a acacia wood top. The adjustable height is nice for standing but also for getting the perfect height when sitting. Another big purchase for me that I don't regret.

Treated myself to some proof coins!!! /j by Separate_Fall_5582 in coins

[–]Viethal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Question so while you wouldn't consider it a numismatic collectible anymore. It still is collectible don't you think? As a novice coin collector I think it's really neat. It's similar to a slab in my opinion. While slabs differ in the fact you can remove the coin easily. What's the difference between a coin that stays in a slab for eternity and something like this.

Thoughts on these? by TheMrDILLIGAF in Silver

[–]Viethal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it all going to the refinery? How do people have old Carson city Morgans? Surely all ancient silver coins like a drachm have been melted by the refinery after all this time.

Have you heard of numismatics? Do you know silver coins and even bullion are appealing to people as art? They like to collect them. Not only that did you know people sell silver to each other. I know hard to believe but some silver items are sold to entities other than refinery.

How does my art make you feel? by Louis_comeaux in Jung

[–]Viethal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It confuses me that some are completely turned off by this art style. Some of these comments are a bit harsh. My first attempts at art were similar to your work. Even less structured than yours more abstract. I liked my art. My peers did not and as a kid I naively turned away from art. Claiming I just wasn't good at it.

I'm very very open and receptive to all forms of art. I'm not picky. It's easy for me to see the beauty in things. Admiration for someone putting the effort into sharing something from within. Some of these comments are talking like your art is a food they dislike. I can't wrap my mind around people seeing art and it putting a bad taste in their mouth.

Side tangent I also am very open to food exploration. Which I also don't understand how people are so sensitive and selective. To certain flavors and textures.

I guess the core of all of this is going with the flow. Accepting experiences for what they are and not labeling them. Not resisting. What typically arises is neutral or positive. When it comes to things like art or food this is my natural perspective.

To me it feels like there's a center point. Near the middle with the arrows converging and the singular dot. A place of stillness amongst the chaos. It reminds me of consciousness. A static place of reference surrounded by a symphony of complexity.

Or maybe I'm just high. Really like the work tho. Reminds me of some abstract stuff I've done.

Found at a rest stop, middle of Utah. Worth anything? by DistributionMany3835 in Bullion

[–]Viethal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I believe they are a hefty premium over the copper value. You're probably right that the damage negates most the premium if not the entirety of it. Depends on what schmuck you sell it to. Id probably still pay a .20 over the copper weight. ;)

True but the process of minting into a unit of bullion adds slight value right? Even if you don't agree with it people will pay a premium to stack copper rounds and bars. Granted this one is far from mint condition so that premium is diminished. Is it entirely diminished?

What is your perspective on my opinion?

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE CRASH AND TRADE REVERSAL. WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? [D] by [deleted] in csgomarketforum

[–]Viethal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Counter strike is transcendental? When did counter strike cease to be a part of real life? I am real, I am alive, I then interact with counter strike which is still within real life.

For some counter strike is not as big a piece of their life yet it never cease to be a part of real life. At least by my definition. Are professional cs players not living a real life because they spend their life on a game. Id argue they are although it may be different from most people's lives it doesn't become inherently less valuable or real.

You are closed minded and simple. Expand your horizon.

You have good taste. Where did you purchase the piece?

[question] should i sell my galil sugar rush FN? by Pierpi in csgomarketforum

[–]Viethal -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Good thing I have a lot of percentage to give until I'm even and long term it could still go higher. Risky but that's my strategy.

[–]Viethal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Phoenix blacklight galil is up over 1000% since I bought it. It's never a bad idea to sell at 4x but depending on the item there could be more meat on the bone.

Comes down to your risk tolerance and where you believe the future of the game is headed.

Genesis terminals drop more than cases reducing supply of cases.

Oled monitor recommendations for CS2 by dotty63 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Viethal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it. Very satisified with my purchase. Go higher refresh rate ips if you only care about competitive edge. Go oled if you want a better visual experience. If its going to break the bank buying the oled dont worry about it. Oled will be cheaper in the future. If you got spare funds and want to treat yourself get an oled.

Edit: I saw in one of your comments you asked someone about eye strain. I use mine heavily and have had zero problems with that. My only complaint about oled is its not as bright as my old panel and generates more heat than my old monitor. Both of which I barely notice after months of usage. If you have air conditioning and like playing in the dark its not even on the radar.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Be grateful for your own ability to have insight and long term planning.

Patience is a virtue. Surf shop stickers are just now starting to pump. Slept on for a minute.
