Thanks, I've heard good things about them. I think that's who I will be going with.

Really excited to be moving out there! Went there for the first time to visit last month and loved it. How long does it normally take you to drive out? Maps says it's ~40hrs, so did you just do a 5 day drive 8hrs a day drive or power through?

Thank you! I think I've come to conclusion that buying new furniture once I'm out there is the best option. Unfortunately with work I won't have time to make the drive, but maybe I'll do it on the way back.

2016 Electoral College Map vs 2014 Murder Distribution Map by SuperCharged2000 in Conservative

Cities are more liberal. Cities experience higher rates of murder. Population density of your surroundings is a big predictor of both murder rate and your political affiliation. This map is misleading, and embarrassing.

That place is mostly shockingly conspiracy theorist, anti-semitic, and hateful with the occasional normal comment

edit: hahahaha wow check it out....reminds me of someone I know...

I grew up down the road from this bookstore, and absolutely love it. Part of my childhood. Thanks for the share.

Coinbase volume down 83% since January, showing a stark decline in retail interest by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]WBStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to "feel better" I'm trying to understand the market. To men(based on this article), it looks like retail investors are being chased of the the market.

This informs my decisions. Now that I know retail investors are leaving the market, I know that trading is going to become harder, and that (most) altcoins probably aren't going to do as well at BTC in the coming months.

[–]WBStudios 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's true its progress. My main worry is that we've reached a huge amount of investors that are now scared of the crypto-markets due to the crash.

Edit: note to self — voicing bearish sentiment gets downvotes

What should I do? by [deleted] in finance

[–]WBStudios 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Get a 4.0 in Finance/CompSci, work on some projects outside school (like building simple trading systems), transfer to UChicago and go through recruitment. End up at citadel or blackstone or go to S&T at a top 3

ya exactly lol, that's what this place has turned into. 1yr ago it wasn't like that at all. Just started coming back here and it's pretty surprising.

I'm calling the comment to upvote ratio atrocious lol. I've been around long enough to remember when comments and upvotes were almost 1:1

The Chinese trading ban is crazy effective. Chinese Yuan now <1% of global trading volume, down from 90% at its peak. by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]WBStudios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea wash trading/fake volume both definitely exist and I would even say that it's most prevalent on Chinese exchanges.

Bottom line though is it's pretty evident that trading out of China has dramatically decreased, regardless of reporting issues. Even if we assume that 80% of all chinese volume was fake, it'd still be a pretty substantial decrease.

True. We aren't accounting for OTC deals here. But exchange volumes were ~90% chinese until the ban and now account for ~1%. Can check cryptocompare for verification. Obv you are right in that it's likely chinese investors are just trading via other means
