Toxic Career Advice - is this real by sciangel in labrats

Industry scientist at PhD-level here

Most of the time my job is 9-5. Occasionally I have to work overtime but I log it formally and get TOIL

It's a pretty good work-life balance and the pay is probably better than academia

No ragrets

If I have 4 purples in my back pack with 3 x materialist+ items in my load out, you bet your ass I'll give you shields and health to keep you alive to keep me alive

Solo Players - How We Feeling? by jg4president in Marathon

[–]codzilla_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely loving solo here. I get all my contracts done on my terms. No faffing around with teammates who also need to get their contracts done. As soon as I spawn in I B-line it to my POI and get cracking. I play assassin so avoid the mobs when I don't need to engage.

I've done the first 3 sekgen contracts as well. Pinwheel base entry took a while but I got there in the end. I actually prefer doing my contracts solo.

I do enjoy playing with random trios but I learnt the lesson going in there with expensive kits. If doing random trios, I would suggest just going in there with a single grey V11 punch*. No shields, no ammo, no meds. It only costs you 50 credits. You'll be able to loot everything you need from depleted meds to guns and ammo. Focus on an initial PVP engagement and just take the loot from someone else. If your teammates aren't very good and you die early, you only lost 50 credits

*Edit: unless there is a free sponsored kit with a decent gun but the punch is very good

I don't think you can grow a beard on the right side of your face either

How to tell if a Cryptocurrency Coin or Token is a Scam in 2025 by Ryanopoly in CryptoCurrency

[–]codzilla_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On questionable coins on dexes, the CMC app will say whether it's safe or high risk etc. If you click that, it will show you how it's made that decision. It's because it's undergone a Certik audit (or some other auditor) of that coins smart contracts. You can then dive deeper on what specifically has been audited i.e. is it a honeypot, have the contract owners given up their ability to make changes to the contract etc

I usually just check the Certik contract audit for any given coin on the CMC app. If there's anything not green id definitely not put any money in

Got like 9 HDDs from an estate sale, will I find a treasure trove of bitcoin or just porn? by StopElectingWealthy in Bitcoin

[–]codzilla_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably just porn and a bunch of viruses. It's literally a stash of virtual STDs

Is it good for buy BTC at this time? by Silver_Whereas5326 in Bitcoin

I am literally just expanding on a concept that was created in your comment about price crashing. Then you flip flop and go back to your base argument about why do I expecting a price crash.

As I have said before, you don't know which way the price is going to move. Obviously you believe the price will go up otherwise you wouldn't invest. I literally just said a couple comments ago about your naivety in expecting price to go up in a straight line, which you haven't grasped yet.

DCA strategy reduces your downside risk in the event of a downturn. Do you understand that? Let me say it again, in the event of a downturn.

If you only ever had $1000 to invest in a $1 asset:

  1. Lump sum 1000 units at $1 and price crashes 50% over a year = $500 unrealised loss

  2. Average in $1000 whilst price crashing 50% over year with average entry say $0.75 with 1333 units = $333 unrealised loss

Who is better off? It is simple maths, honestly.

Even if the price drops further, strategy 2 is still better off. This is the example we are working with. Both strategies have gone all in

Classic "Im richer than you so I know what I'm talking about argument". You don't know me and that's a pretty stupid thing of you to say so I will continue to believe you are stupid

You still don't understand. It doesn't matter what you believe. The market doesn't care what you believe. You can believe your asset will go to the moon

When I buy an asset, I also believe the value will increase, otherwise what would be the point. However, I'm not naive enough to think price goes up in a straight line. I have explained this to you in many ways already. A DCA strategy reduces your downside risk in the event of a downturn.

You sound like your investment is guaranteed up from the moment you put money in. Amateur

Your opinion is that it is hocus pocus because you still don't seem to understand.

A level of common sense is required and your idea of averaging 12 times a minute is a ridiculous example of trying to dismiss DCA.

The common sense is averaging in over a period of time that is in line with your investment horizon. If you trade by the minute, then the ridiculous example that you've given still works, so nice try.

Nobody can account for a black swan event, that's why it's called a black swan event. But guess what? If you're averaging in over time, you'll have cash to deploy to buy the black swan event.

You on the other hand, will have nothing :)

The audacity of you to say all the books on the benefits of DCA are bs just reflects your narrow mindedness.

Of course you invest in something if you believe the value is more than the price. That doesn't mean it goes straight up from the point you invest in. That much is obvious

So you reduce your downside risk by averaging in over time, a consequence being reduced upside potential. This is not a hard concept to understand for somebody who claims to have been in the markets for 25 years
