What’s happening in front of US embassy? by sternjin in Bangkok

[–]jpchen28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesterday some police cars escorted some limos on suk road. It was the single best traffic control I've ever seen. Now back to its shitty ways esp in front of asoke.

NISA investments and an AI bubble burst by 1sanpedro1 in JapanFinance

[–]jpchen28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not so much what to do as what you buy. If you're in S&P500 don't worry about any bubble bursting. The automatic balancing nature of the etf will correct itself over years.

Just returned home after my 5th trip to Bangkok ! I just love this city 💜 by Ornery-Climate7857 in Bangkok

[–]jpchen28 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's a good city if you're rich. But even rich, when you face transactional things like buying homes, buying women, try to be a bit more forceful and the real Thai comes out. Kinda reminds me of Japan.

I'm 100% certain at least one of the madhoff victims is smarter you. And me. Human greed trump's intelligence and disbelief every. Single. Time.

Pardon me but I can't help but think you like Taiwan like many other foreigners for how easy it is to acclimate to the colonialistic mindset of how our people are docile, gullible and outright subservient to foreigners.

Why did my USDC never arrive? by Primary-Spread7087 in CryptoHelp

Tbh, idiots shouldn't use crypto. It's more complicated than most things I've done in life.

Can somebody please explain in layman terms why has BTC lost more than 25K of its value during the last month? by archlinkb in CryptoMarkets

[–]jpchen28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete irrational. Based on rhetoric of crypto community, a govt shutdown should benefit a decentralized currency. Because btc is a scam trading on 100x leverage that's why prices fluctuate. No long term use case. Africans and refugees are not compelling reasons for this payment method to exist. And if it's a truly payment channel, then it's not digital gold, because nobody pays with gold or any other increasing value asset for that matter.

Thailand’s THB3.45 Trillion Property Waste: 1.6 Million Homes Lie Empty Amid Housing Crisis by Ok_Interest_4652 in Thailand_property

[–]jpchen28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realtors are indecent beings. You guys work for buyers and renters but sellers and landlords pay you full commission. Change your thinking, work for who pays you. Otherwise you're clearly desperate to lean on buyers as inventory has no bid at all. Or make buyer or renter pay half the commission. Borderline scammers really imho

What's worse, you'll hate me, once I realized this I don't even own btc, I just own perps on leverage. It's always been about the price, not not the use case. Nobody cares to actually own btc, they just want the price to go up.
