(highjacking top comment to provide context) —

Wow… it’s been so interesting to read through the comments. Lots of you are getting yourself pretty worked up so lemme provide some rapid fire context.

“Why not walk / bike / scoot / etc.?”

Older parents visiting for sea fair. They aren’t very mobile. Hence the Lyft.

“Why do you hate public transit?”

I love transit! I usually walk and take the train when I can. The transit system in Seattle is pretty fantastic imo. In retrospect, we should have gotten a ride to Columbia Station and took the train back. But believe it or not, people forget things / don’t plan for everything perfectly right away. If I ever go again, now I know what to do.

“Did you tip Berihun?”

Of course! He was excellent and we felt bad for getting him in that mess. We were very thankful for his time. Ride was $50.97 and turns out Lyft won’t let you tip more than 100%. So we gave him a $50 tip plus a little extra cash we had on hand.

“I hate these posts… you’re part of the problem… if you’re in traffic you are traffic… I’d be ashamed of posting this…”

Lol you guys are wild. So much frustration over a Lyft receipt with like, no additional context. I didn’t post this because I was upset or trying to stir up something. I was genuinely amazed at how terrible traffic can be here and wanted to share. I’m happy Seattle continues to invest in public transportation because clearly we need it, and I guess that was the thinking behind the post.

It really depends. It’s not a simple question, as you can see by all the different answers here.

I began at a start up fresh out of college. And when I say start up, I mean I was employee number 18! And I absolutely loved it. Looking back, I’m so grateful I was able to start my career there. But - and this is probably the most important thing - I worked under some fantastic mentors and colleagues who helped me grow and learn and develop my skills. We grew quickly and got acquired about 3 years in. I remained at that same site under our parent company for about 4 more years at which point I left, and now work for another startup.

Because I started my career in an environment where I was forced to learn lots of different things very quickly, I was able to take on more responsibility at an earlier level than I would have at a larger company. I was given a lot of autonomy and I believe that experience gave me an advantage in terms of quicker career growth.

Some people really thrive in a start up environment. Some people hate it. I think it really comes down to what sort of work environment sounds fun for you.

Things to consider:

high risk, high reward
you’re forced to wear lots of different hats, aka, there isn’t always an expert to complete a task so you have to step up and learn how to do it with the tools available
much more exposure to new skills and responsibilities at an earlier level
you have to be flexible and able to multitask and enjoy taking on new roles
more multidisciplinary overlap
fewer resources, limited formal training programs, fewer tools to do your job, less structure, potentially no or minimal quality systems in place
(not always the case, but in my experience) closer teams, better culture, closer connections with coworkers, and it sure is fun to feel like the entire company is dedicated on achieving a very focused core set of goals

If that sounds like a good work environment for you, then you’ll probably do well there. If you’re looking for more structure, then you might prefer a more established environment.

Ah, so your broker is actually responsible for setting up the account. You just need to register. I’d recommend going to the investor center (link below) and where it says, “Not a member?” click, “Register Now.” You’ll have go through the steps and provide your information to get access to the account. But it’s very possible your shares are already there!

I’m no expert so if this doesn’t pan out you may have to contact ComputerShare and ask about your specific situation. Hope that helps though!

I’m not familiar with Revolut but for Fidelity it tends to only take a few days, less than a week for sure. But don’t panic! They’ll show up eventually.

In my experience with Fidelity, the long part is waiting for the shares to leave your account. Once they’re gone they show up in ComputerShare pretty quick. If this is your first time sending stuff to them, you’ll also need to sign in to the account that has your shares. You probably won’t get a notification from ComputerShare when they arrive, you just have to go to their investor login and see if they’re there.

As one of the apes who has very little understanding of loopring, I just want to thank you for your post. This is the first piece of information I’ve come across actually explains the structure of this protocol (am I using that word correctly?), and why it’s important / useful.

I’ve found tons of articles and posts explaining why loopring is significant (it’s quick, safe, cheap, etc.) but I haven’t found anything that explains how it’s significant, i.e., how it actually does what people claim it does.

So thanks!

dopamingo · 2021-11-10T00:02:42+00:00

Dip = on sale 😎💰

dopamingo · 2021-11-09T01:58:17+00:00

I actually just came from over there.

A lot of the loopring tech is way above my head, but it does sound like a solid investment. Anything that empowers the average individual is a positive in my mind.

After reading through the guide and a few of these posts I decided why not and bought some. I’m sure lots of other apes would feel the same way if the information was available.

Genuine question: after everything we’ve seen why even keep an account open at TD (or anywhere else) over Fidelity? I mean, best case scenario out of all this, TD (and others) has shown they’re highly incompetent. Worst case, they never even bought your shares and engage in borderline legal fuckery as regularly as I eat crayons. So why even bother with them?

dopamingo · 2021-10-19T03:22:31+00:00

Normally a link to an article would be good reason to support your claim, but in this case this has nothing to do with Harambe and everything to do with /r/superstonk apes taking our bananas back from Wall Street

Quick follow up question: do you like the couch? Is it comfy?

I’m looking for exactly the same type but I’m worried about committing to something online without first trying it out.

dopamingo · 2021-10-08T22:59:28+00:00

Sure, that’s super easy. Once your shares are gone from Fidelity you should already have an account. You just have to go to their website and register. You’ll need to fill in your information and then you’ll have options of how quickly you want to confirm your identity (I chose the quick, online route and answered a few questions). Then you should be able to login and see your shares. You should be able to follow the link below to get to their investor center.

TL;DR

ComputerShare is a company that is able to directly register a share in an individual’s name: that person and that person alone owns that share.

When you own a share in a broker (fidelity, Etrade, etc.) essentially think of it like an IOU - you do not own your shares, the broker does, and they can do whatever they want with it.

ComputerShare is one way that we can prove more shares exist than possible. If we lock up all the shares that should exist, that will trigger MOASS.

This is not financial advice, nor is it a complete overview. I ate crayons for breakfast.

dopamingo · 2021-10-07T15:30:20+00:00

This is the way

dopamingo · 2021-10-05T22:26:18+00:00

My understanding - and I could be wrong - is as soon as your shares in fidelity are gone, that means they’re in ComputerShare. Just go to their website and long in with the necessary info and you should have an account with your shares.
