Yeah to be expected, she vetoes everything. They can appeal the veto I guess...

I get that, kicking myself for not taking that Blokchain group SA position at 0.45 a month ago... However, whenever there is a big drop in the market, I am also kicking myself for not being greedy enough and waiting for bargains.

I am still wondering which of those is hardest, the fomo or the pain. Currently I just tend to bear the pain, though as my portfolio grows I do think I'll be holding more reserves for special drawbacks.

Lowest point ended up being -20%, now up 10% YTD. Oh fickle market...

There is an old Japanese saying: "Every person wears 3 masks. One you show to the world, one you show to your closest friends and family and the third one you don't show to anyone but yourself." Rest assured that most you think you know about people, is still based on the assumption they show you who they really are. That said, I don't think it is wrong to make the assumption that someone did not beat the 60% CAGR of BTC, as even 99.9% of this board did not beat that.

It is wrong of me to assume you won't outperform BTC? So you outperformed it up until now? Wow impressive.

It may matter for your offspring.

Still one risk though: According to Governor Hobbs Wikipedia: "On April 18, 2023, her 100th day in office, Hobbs set a new record for the most vetoes issued by an Arizona governor in a single legislative session, with 63 vetoes of bills passed by the Republican-majority legislature." Seems highly probably this gets vetoed.

This is big, 3B might not seem much at first but if this is one of many to follow...

Guess Myanmar is getting invaded soon. They don't have nuclear weapons right?

I would assume they all start preparing. They saw the immense inflow when the ETFs were launched, they don't want to miss it now they can have their customers jump on this.

- stop chasing that one chick - travel more before you start kids - read up on Bitcoin

I am just as much opposed to nepotism as DEI.

My guess would be that a certain decrease in earnings is priced in due to tariffs. However companies are resilient and might still surprise the market...

To back your currency for instance. Remember the gold standard

No... Gold is a store of value with a high stack to flow ratio. And BTC is better at it.

The use of gold is very limited and does not determine its value... Also, BTC definitely has a use.

No Bud just means it's a Quality bar man. Never understood how people can drink 'beers' like Bud light or Heineken, it's basically water...

Plus past performance is not indicative of future performance. Especially considering disrupting technology like BTC entering gold's territory as a store of value.

Yeah but the political risk has gotten much higher recently... I'm staying out until this blows over.

I assume he needs lower rates for debt refinancing?

Remarkably it's holding up then.

Yeah Powell knows Trump can't touch him... though I don't think he intentionally keeps rates up just to spite Trump.

US investors seem to be scared right now though... BTC goes up every day only to come down when US markets open. Seems like consistent pull-out from the ETFs.
