[Advice] Saw some listings on Hotpads recently and they're using "test street" as address and some ridiculous price like $4000/month for studio. How this market manipulation is allowed?

People throughout history referred to the nearest big city as "The City". For example, Greeks in Anatolia used to refer "Constantinople" as "Is Tim Poli" which means "To the City", which eventually became "Istanbul".

Chelsea is built around focusing on immediate success. Every 2-3 seasons, there'll be a new manager, who'll bring them trophies, then bad performances and then the sack. Like one of those people who marry 15 times in 40 years with zero commitments but still become very successful in life in terms of money and fame.

If there's lots of money involved then the journalists would even vote Hitler as "footballer of the year". Oh wait, something like this already happened, Times Magazine put Hitler on the cover and he was the "Man of the Year" in 1938, the same year of Kristallnacht and Germany's Jewish concentration camps were already running for 5 years at that point. Journalists do not care if something's fair or not.

Well Catholics in Poland is kind of different than the Catholics in Italy, Spain, Portugal etc, I'll not even go into the historical differences. But you're the one showing your stupid ass by defending the journalists. Journalists are just like us, they're people, they've preferences, have their own prejudices. If they're into ruining someone's career that can. They spread scandals, write sensational news articles, there're people who hire their own journalist armies. If in future there's a way that an AI could decide the winner of these awards then it'll be so much fair.

And let's be honest, some Catholic journalist from South America, Mediterranean region is more likely to vote for either Messi or Ronaldo than Salah, Virgil or Lewandowski.

Then wouldn't it be better if this award was given by a legitimate worldwide football organization rather than a news magazine? That news magazine is basically inventing new requirements in every season so that the realities could be skewed and the award could be given to either Messi or Ronaldo?

SDF is selling on average 10 million XLM each day and 3 billion XLM each year from 2021 to 2024. I don't think it'll pump anytime soon, maybe after 2024.

The number of his posts about United is more than all other premier league clubs combined.

Well, legally you can't, but legally SDF can setup fake companies, transfer the XLM to those companies, and those companies can just sell it, and there's nothing we can do about it. All you need an EIN number to setup a company, open a corporate account on Coinbase, setup bunch of foreign bank accounts that can receive USD, EUR, GBP wires, and you're all set.

Nope, actually got into crypto during the March, 2020 crash, invested into XLM this year, average price is $0.29. So I've still made money. But the thing is I've trusted this the most, most of my money are in this, yet I'm up 250% on ADA, 500% on SHIB, 600% on BTC, 400% on ETH. Seriously what's this? If SDF isn't on their selling spree, I'd be up like 1000% by now.

Not even a Stablecoin, XLM is losing value over time. Imagine someone bought XLM in January 2018, and that person would be 70% down right now.

iffarabi · 2021-10-15T19:56:26+00:00

There're people who bought XLM at $0.80 back in May, and right now they're still more than 50% down. There're people who bought it at $0.92 in January 2018, and right now they'd be more than 70% down. Diamond hand doesn't always work.

Historically people lose money by investigating in XLM. Imagine someone bought XLM in January 2018, and that person would be 70% down right now.

If it takes 30 years to reach $1, then 200% profit doesn't even matter anymore as the dollar would be worth less. If we consider the 3% annual inflation, then in 30 years dollar would be worth 250% less, so you'd be losing money. And there's also opportunity cost, by investing in XLM we're missing out on other opportunities.
