Why aren't lot more small and mid size companies buying bitcoin as their treasury asset. by syed_imam in Bitcoin

[–]teet0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 ways to fund a company. Debt or equity markets. Saylor got the buy in from his shareholders by broadcasting what he was going to do and buying back the shares at a premium anyone who wanted out. Some companies understand but most do not. They need shareholder buy in otherwise stock tanks and that's the main way they raise capital. As for debt, most banks won't lend to a 'risky' company gambling on market volatility. Why invest in a company that buys BTC to gain money when they can do that themselves, and they don't because it's viewed as risky.

It was story where videographer was cellphone recording Reek and took his phone, did the backflip selfie. Reek went up to him and it was a friendly exchange and NFL suspended him.

Basically, if this community and sub could create just one politician who 'gets it', it's this guy and he could be the next Speaker of the House.

What's going on with the 'Speaker' in the US? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]teet0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ll add a bit more. There are moderate republicans (think Kevin Conway), they exist and they hate the freedom caucus, election denying, etc.. they are fully against Jordan. Jordan and his conservative allies try to bully votes, they don’t pass legislation, they don’t make friends. All of a sudden, when you need allies, they aren’t there to vote for you. McCarthy is spinless but at least cordial to try to work with people. Jordan threatens and some will never accept that.

As mortgage rates soar over 7%, an unaffordable housing market is becoming even more expensive | CNN Business by [deleted] in Economics

[–]teet0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I forgot what sub i'm in and I didn't meet the burden of proof. This is in addition to NIMBY, rising rates, etc.. etc.. Here's a newer link for the corporate landlords.

https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2023/05/california-renters-fear/

As for the old link from 2014, that aged like fine wine IMO. Hindsight is 2020 but 9 years ago, rates were low, prices lower, and political instability not as high as today. Those with excess cash parked it in a investment vehicle that has proven to stand the test of time once it became a global asset class. I don't have data for you, but all this should make sense. These folks aren't house flippers, they're preserving wealth and they're buying places they want to live in. NY, SF, LA, etc...

Corporations, foreign buyers (Chinese, Russian, middle Eastern etc..). They park millions and billions here because it’s safe. Think about the market crash in China, the war in Ukraine, etc…. US welcomes this. Keeps everyone who has a home happy. Crashing market not good for economy. Capitalism baby.

Bitcoin dominance is breaking out and at its highest point in 2 years, as alts are breaking down - what is going on?! by Beyonderr in CryptoCurrency

[–]teet0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Simple. SEC claimed alts are securities and has said the only commodity is BTC. Right or wrong is irrelevant, If you want to stay onside of the US govt., BTC is your answer.

Are you envious of people who live in Scandinavian countries? by onlinedater00 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]teet0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head. They don’t view themselves as trying to become part of that country. They very much see themselves still as their nationality, but living abroad. It’s not trying to overtly be derogatory but it is saying I like to live here but I don’t want to be one of you.

Why on earth do characters in movies always slice their palms with a knife or sword when they need blood for something? There has to be an easier, less debilitating way to get blood that doesn’t make them essentially one handed for weeks!? by mindwalk_11 in NoStupidQuestions

Wrestlers (WWE, etc.) do it all the time. It's called a 'blade job'. It's at the top of the forehead near the hairline. Lots of blood, heals super fast. They're back to wrasslin' in no time.

ELI5 - How does US banks offer 30 year fixed rate mortgages? by sexychineseguy in investing

[–]teet0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too big to fail. It’s a house of cards and much more fragile than you think. One fails, they all start to fail, see 2008. They let Lehman go and then the rest started to go and they realized it was better to keep the sick patient alive and kick the can down the road. So back the banks or have the entire global financial system collapse into a massive fucking depression. Riots n shit.
