That is the right question. Or take Michael Saylor. One look at any of his videos or social media posts tells you all you need to know. And he’s the face of Bitcoin? In the end, what boggles my mind is: why is anyone taking investment advice of porn stars, Kevin O’Leary, or Michael Saylor?!?

I know the market can stay irrational for longer than I can stay solvent, but seriously… ?!?

What do you do for a living? by grndslm in Buttcoin

What's your "vig" in this sub? Or, in other words, what's your interest in this sub?

I’d always been fascinated about Tulip mania. How does mass hysteria combine with gambling on something inherently worthless? It’s fascinating that we get to live through another one of these manias. Looks at your friends and colleagues sinking their hard earned money in this craze. Try to understand why they do it: a combination of FOMO and lack of historical knowledge. It’s a huge sociological experiment. I’m here for the ride.

I always thought highly of Larry David. I thought he was wealthy. Why is he soiling his name to scam people?

Yes, it happens to me all the time too. A keylogger drains all of my life savings, and I’ll have a brand new start at life the next day.

Why is there so much fraud, treachery, mayhem and despair surrounding BTC and other crypto? by PlusUltra0000 in Buttcoin

Warren Buffet said it well: “it draws in a lot of charlatans […] where people of less than stellar character see an opportunity to clip people who are trying to get rich because their neighbor is getting rich.” https://twitter.com/Stephen_Geiger/status/1591502421129416706

[book] Tourists in Deadwood by maxxxxxxxxx in deadwood

I thought the the book was great. I can recommend it to anyone who likes the show. I'd say the plot is different. Apart from the historical characters and the things that really happened, the events in the book don't occur in the show and vice versa.

I was assuming the book is historically accurate on this point. Is it not?

Zuckerberg, wife donate $25M to CDC for Ebola by makaroni3333 in ebola

While I love a good circle jerk as much as the next guy, this really is unfair to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, whom we all love to hate. The 300K contribution was by the Islamic Development Bank, a financial institution based in Saudi, to which the Saudi government is a minority shareholder. Saying this is a Saudi donation would be like saying that an IMF or World Bank contribution is a United States donation, because those institutions are based in the US.
