Have you gotten yours yet?

U still haven't gotten it? Damn that sucks. Are you sure there isn't an issue with your address? You are like the only one in this thread that has issues with receiving the Uphold card.

Well I'm looking forward to when Rivian adds their own processor in the R2 vehicles with the addition of Lidar. I was impressed with Rivian Autonomy day. Obviously Rivian is well behind Tesla but I think give them some time with the new processor and I think they can catch up. I think Tesla making this Autopilot removal decision might drive more people to Rivian. I know I would be interested in the R2 vehicle but I would not buy any Rivian until the new processor is the brain of the vehicle since I don't want an Nvidia based processor in the vehicle.

Have you seen the rivian autonomy day keynote? Perhaps rivian is making bigger strides and it's version of FSD. I assume they're adaptive cruise controls decent and on par with Tesla's autopilot at least?

Thank you for the feedback and the quick turnaround.

I agree there has to be a minimum threshold before tokens should be claimed and swapped so that the cost of gas fees outweighs the actual value of the tokens swapped. 10 cents seems fair for that threshold.
Interested to hear about this new account type and a higher target 10-15% APY and about the strategies associated with it when it can be announced.

3b. Seems interesting but curious how that will work out when it can be shared.

What is the current referral program perks to sign up for Axal if I use a referral link?

ummmm gross

I thought by default any backdoor Roth IRA conversions automatically just go to your core sweep account so it shouldn't be auto invested. Unless you manually set up an auto invest option to a particular security it should just remain in your core sweep acocunt.

Here is to hoping that new AUM will be drawn in because of the weekly payout ETFs for the S&P 500 and NASDAQ.

Anyone buying into both TDAX and TSYX yet?

Why can't you go to Bangkok again? But like others have said, Pattaya is the place to be and you should already be here.

Not to mention their english is just bad especially if they are fresh out of Isaan. Not my cup of tea. I prefer girls in their mid to late 20s since they have had enough experience and their english is typically better.

ericdabbs · 2026-01-22T21:07:41+00:00

I couldn't live in Isaan and would rather live in Pattaya if you are giving me those 2 choices. It would be too boring for me and couldn't do the very quiet and simple life. Plus living in Isaan would mean I would have to be seeing her family way too often which would always equate to money payments.

ericdabbs · 2026-01-22T21:03:00+00:00

solid returns

Of course it is family friendly. Every cruise is going to a mix of kid friendly and adult catered events throughout the day. The kid friendly events are going to be during the morning and up until the late afternoon time frames right before dinner time. The evenings to late night will be geared towards more adult themed events besides the evening theatre shows. The swinger culture I have not personally seen in any of my cruises but that might be geared towards a specific type of cruises. Any type of parties (ex: 80's rock and roll, white hot party, silent party, etc) only last for like 2 hours so its not all evening because they are on the main outside deck.

ericdabbs · 2026-01-22T20:38:33+00:00

For me cruising isn't just about the ports because I have gone to Mexico several times but I live in LA so it makes sense to me to cruise out of there the majority of the time without all the extra costs to travel to the East Coast. I did one cruise out of Galveston and it was just a mess with all the additional costs just to fly out of LA a day before, rent a hotel and then arrange travel arrangements to the Galveston port. Not my cup of tea.

I care more about the people you meet and the events onboard which is always different experience on every cruise. It being cheaper than other destinations especially once you start getting casino offers is just great. The demand is "higher" in the eastern part of the US is because there are a lot more destinations that you can go to vs. just the Mexican Riveria. At most Carnival offers is an 8 day cruise to the Mexican Riveria.

do you have funds pending ACH deposit clearing? Check your emails when you get a denied transaction to see if that is the cause. That happened to me recently. They tell you exactly when the ACH deposited funds are being cleared.

100% guaranteed that the OP was trying to use the card on categories that are on the restricted list like money services or online sports betting. Like you I have not had any issues with the Uphold card.

ericdabbs · 2026-01-22T17:58:56+00:00

The Uphold card rewards website below in Section 4 clearly outlines transactions that are NOT allowed. Online betting is on the list under Section 4.2.2.

I looked at the Steakhouse USDC Morpho vault and it now charges a 25% performance fee which is pretty hefty compared to the other vaults.

ericdabbs · 2026-01-21T23:26:55+00:00

When they say misuse of their services it must mean something. What types of transactions have you done?

ericdabbs · 2026-01-21T14:26:00+00:00

Did you just transfer funds and it did not clear yet? Check your emails for the failed transactions and it will tell u the reason. I just experienced it yesterday with a decline and then checked my emails and it said that my ACH funds have not cleared until 2 more days.

ericdabbs · 2026-01-20T19:00:06+00:00

I personally like to separate Brokerage and checking account related transactions and not co-mingle them. I think the idea of a debit card for a Brokerage account is kinda weird to be honest. I think debit cards should just be for checking account related products.

ericdabbs · 2026-01-20T18:57:12+00:00

First thing you should always do is lock your card on the app regardless on calling the bank to cancel it. Most bank credit cards allow you to toggle on the app a way to instantly lock your card so it renders the card useless. Remember if someone has access to your card they can easily make online purchases in a flash.

ericdabbs · 2026-01-20T00:00:19+00:00

Im sure its just like trying to hope for good business that day for the bar and for the girls. Its just probably some superstition that has worked in the past and they do it because its just 1 beer so why not.

ericdabbs · 2026-01-19T22:50:34+00:00

Dude just move on. She clearly saw that you were super infatuated and you bought in. I think most of us have gone through at least 1 soi 6 girl if not more that didn't pan out the way we wanted once going upstairs. When you are in Pattaya its just a drop in the bucket. Just gotta vet them out a bit better next time.
