I don't disagree and I'm not saying Saylor isn't an intelligent individual. There is just so much emotion behind crypto that it completely clouds the objective thesis. Do your personal gains cloud your view of crypto?

Michael Saylor always sounds completely insane to me. He's like the Jim Jones of crypto. "Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing even smarter, faster and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy" - Saylor

Congrats that's badass

Anyone have a take on the "energy consumption" issue with BTC? Potential fixes or perhaps some good resources to share? Seems to be a lot of noise around it after that Elon tweet

Small spec positions in IDN and PLBY thanks @wabuffoand @Jmac42600 Edit: a little more ATCO before earnings....

Makes sense since all these young people view investing as income generation in the current. By a r/wsb backed YOLO option on Thursday for $10, sell it on Friday for $25 spend it on booze and worry about taxes later! The terms "retirement and nest egg" are few and far between on the r/wsb sub. Doesn't really change much though. Everyone should have access and should be allowed to do what they want. Just a new way to play the game imo. Penny Stocks have been accessible to people for a long time.

I think as the new site gets more polished I will like it better than the old. Overall though I think the site is nice main points in contention - search function - more scrolling - ads in main text body - with the home page wasn’t an “about page” and instead the forum.

I’ve found that getting involved in your community presents many opportunities to help individuals you meet along the way. I have seen enough nonsense from these big charities to shy away from the “black hole” as you describe. Giving directly to individuals (money, services, time, advice, skill teaching etc.) you meet and building relationships is way more rewarding, impactful and fulfilling in my opinion. Plus, you’ll make some good friends along the way with individuals you might not normally have associated with. People from different walks of life are more similar than one would think. Good luck!

Thanks! This guys channel in particular has been great. He's Canadian so some of the code stuff varies a bit compared to the states but it's still relevant. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnorhjQR4zJkT7AVNhu395Q I'd say prices are generally cheaper, but the quality can vary quite a bit. Also, sorry for derailing the thread haha

Thanks! Permits and inspections! Exactly why I might not undertake this big of a project again for a bit. Youtube is one a hell of a resource. Most of it I learned in high school when my Dad would drag my ass out of bed on weekends to help him on jobs. Guess I'm appreciative now. All in all it took me a little over three months to do. I'll probably net about 2.5-3k per week spent on the project. Which is not to bad. That's probably a bit more than typical to be honest. As I said, that price was ridiculously low and mispriced. I had a few contractors in the area stop by and ask to buy it off me for 15k more than I paid. Luckily I have a buyer lined up (private sale) as I'm ready to get this one off the books. I make more just doing small projects. For example, those cabinets took me about two weeks to build, paint, and install. I would easily charge 20k+ for those. That tile backsplash I actually had quoted because I was feeling lazy....until I got a quote for 3.5k. Took me three days and $350 in materials (including a new laser level *thanks wifey). Would never want to do this full-time. There is certainly money to be made and I enjoy it now since I have no kids etc. But I'll be damned if I end up old crippled and arthritis ridden . Ideally I'd love to build high end built to spec custom furniture on the side. The marketing is the difficult part. ProTip: If you're looking to avoid the high lumber prices and you happen to have some Amish individuals within a few hours of you. Give one of their sawmills a call. Bribes may be needed!

Although I do flip houses/ do small remodels on the side, I was referring to equities (REITs in particular). But I'll leave that up to ThePupil! He's got a way better knack for it than I. And a Bloomberg terminal Attached two pics of my current project. Bought the house at rock bottom price on a foreclosure in a great neighborhood. Typically don't get into whole houses as I work another fulltime job and it can get messy/expensive quick. This situation just worked out because of the price, location, circumstances of sale, work from "a home" , etc. Pics are from opposite angles. The major work was the kitchen/dinning room remodel. New wiring, custom cabinets (by yours truly), new floors/refinished throughout the home, windows in kitchen and dinning room, new drywall, new plumbing, new lights, tile, took down two walls put in a beam and post to open it up. I'm about 90% done (crown molding, trim, range hood, caulking and some other finish work to do). Basically I did everything myself except the countertop and the floors. Probably won't get into something this big again for a long time.

I think Boise is turning into an Austin style city. From what my friend said there is an upward trend of new tech startups. From an investment (real estate focused) perspective I haven’t really seen any good plays or anything interesting.

Here’s the inspection report. Complete sh!thole Summary of 3004 N 36th Street.pdf

Small position in JOE, added to ETSY. APTS

Agreed, enjoyed the writeup. I've been accumulating a position as well.

You can get paid to learn! At least that’s what Coinbase is saying.

I did some pocking around and found about a dozen like this in the area. One was 500 sqft and 350k... Someone seems to have a solid angle on flipping garden sheds. All this to say, didn’t realize the market in that area was so hot.

Take a look at this beauty in Boise. 400k Knew a guy looking at it until he sent me the inspection report. Knob and tub wiring under insulation. Almost completely deteriorated foundation, rusty water, in insulated pipes in crawl space, and tons of stuff out of code. Smartly he walked...don’t know if it will sell, but the fact that it’s listed at that is unbelievable to me. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3004-N-36th-St_Boise_ID_83703_M18687-09418
