I just picked up 1K shares because you picked up 1K shares.
Stonk life is best life.
I picked up 1K shares as well. Already up $2.36.
In other stonking news I have a new system I'm trying out for like $500 each gamble. So far this week:
PLRTF - bought on Tuesday at .35, now sitting at .68
CTLE - bought this morning at .0013, currently at .0021
well....i say "system" but its more like this:

its more for amusement than anything else. Gonna try to buy one new stonk a day, sell when/if they double, and probably quit when this whole thing blows up on me.

That’s how you use it I guess. I’m just citing data from looking on chain.
Now you have me interested. What data do you see on chain that provides insight into the use case behind bitcoin transactions? What does that even mean. I will admit I'm an idiot in most things crypto.

$FPVD doing work this week. I sold half of my positions this morning but wonder what this thing will do
Usually I would cash out and move onto the next one, but I think I will let this ride a bit. I had negligble $$ in it ($500 at .0025). Will re-evaluate if/when they change ticker symbols and "launch" more officially as Bigtoken, or whatever the fuck they will be called.

“I think many [cryptocurrencies] are used, at least in transactions sense, mainly for illicit financing and I think we really need to examine ways in which we can curtail their use and make sure that anti-money laundering doesn’t occur through those channels,”
”Many” crypto currencies? Mainly for illicit financing? Please. Maybe monero, but that’s it.
So she is either uninformed, dumb, or dishonest. I believe it’s dishonesty.
Bullshit, crypto has two uses for me. Speculative investment and to get money on/off online poker sites and sportsbooks. I use Bitcoin. Most people I know that use these sites (and there are plenty) use Bitcoin. We have archaic rules in this country about gambling so we blocked the financial spigot to these online sites. Now everyone uses crypto. Silk Road used bitcoin. There is very little oversight in the crypto markets (compared to traditional financial/banking methodologies) so I think it wise to assume that there is quite a bit of illicit financing going on, and in more than just monero. To think otherwise is naïve as fuck.
I'm not anti-crypto, I own it. But I'm also a realist and know that the larger the cypto market gets the more governments will get involved. Crypto enthusiasts cheer when large corporations start investing or discussing crypto. But the more entrenched it gets with these entities (who will play ball with the government) the more regulation and oversight will be necessary. I don't live in a fantasy land.

There is a reasonable chance that criminals use non-traditional methods to transfer funds but should we treat everyone as a criminal or terrorist to offset the chance that .001% of the public is doing something wrong? People with the Fed or Treasury are more concerned about the inability to easily identify tax cheats more than the next OBL. OBL makes a better headline though.
Maybe you read a different article than me. Where did it say that because the government is concerned with terrorists, everyone would be treated as a criminal or terrorist. Terrorism and tax cheats are two separate issues, and yes I realize the government is also always going to try to identify tax cheats. We have the IRS because people are less likely to pay taxes if there is no enforcement or oversight. I am happy to hold onto my crypto and pay taxes when/if i sell. If you are claiming we shouldnt pay taxes on crypto, that's a separate conversation altogether. I'm just trying to figure our what was controversial about Yellen's statement, thats all.

What's dishonest about the statements in that article? Do you believe that the psuedo anonymous nature of transferring large amounts of money in an expedient fashion and for relatively low costs would have no interest to criminal and terrorist organizations?
I own crypto, but am under no illusions about the risks of doing so. There's a reason sites like Silk Road didn't take credit cards. While there is some traceability with crypto it's far less regulated than traditional currencies, and I would absolutely expect criminal/terrorist factions to employ it. So if you agree with that statement, it's pretty logical that governments interested in foiling those types of organizations will consider means to discourage their ability to use crypto.

I just don't think it has been "destroyed" as much as you think. The GDP looks like it will be close to flat in 2020, the stock market is up, unemployment is down but shows signs of recovering quickly as the pandemic ends and on top of all that there is another 1.9T stimulus in the works.
The short term future does not look bad.
Estimates I have seen project the GDP will be down somewhere between 2-4% for the year.
Using data from 1961-2019 there were only 8 years with negative GDP, so we're looking at either the worst year in the last 60 years or the 2nd worst year
Year GDP Change 2009 -2.54% -2.40% 1982 -1.80% -4.34% 1974 -0.54% -6.19% 1980 -0.26% -3.42% 1970 -0.25% -3.35% 1975 -0.21% 0.34% 2008 -0.14% -2.01% 1991 -0.11% -1.99% The rich got richer (thanks stock market) but the 50% of the US population that had no money in the stock market didnt make out nearly so well. A large portion are on shakier financial footing than they were entering the year. The rich can only spend so much on cars, food, travel etc... you need all of your population doing well financially for the overall GDP to recover. I don't see that type of recovery for a couple of years at least.
The S&P growing 16% and the Nasdaq growing almost 50% are ridiculous in the scheme of things. But with no alternate place to put money, the ponzi scheme continues as long as the government props it up. Bubbles come to an end, and this one will as well.

She is a 15 year old girl who is posting videos of her mother abusing her. She has been gradually making public more and more serious evidence of the abuse she is suffering at her mother’s hand. She is not looking for attention in the way you are implying.
She is looking for attention as a plea for help.
Calling an abused child an “attention whore” for making her abuse public is really shitty.Sorry calling it like I see it. There is ample evidence of this 15 year old kid attention-whoring it up on social media. Sure, her mom is a cunt, and talks mean to her. My guess is she acts like a cunt right back. She's got a tik tok account you can review. I know an attention whore when I see one.
Having shitty parents (and it's clear she does) doesn't force her to dance around on tik tok like a 25 year old actual whore. "buts that's what all kids do today", isn't a justifiable excuse. It just means we're raising a generation of attention whores. The entire family is probably a train wreck.

Who else reads books about submarines?
He had a problem with sending dong shots
Former Viking Sean Salisbury has been fired from his radio gig in Dallas for allegedly sending unwanted sexy text messages to one of the station’s female employees.
This sexting incident marks a return to form for Salisbury, who had been quiet ever since being fired from ESPN for, among other things, showing women cell phone pictures of his penis.Recently, America’s first center for treating internet addiction was opened. Someone now needs to open a center for treating addiction to using one’s cell phone to ruin one’s career, and enroll Sean. Before it’s too late.

This story about Porter is cracking me up. Admittedly he didnt have a lot of solid options to work with, but the wheels are probably coming off when your disclaimer to the press can basically be summarized as "the dick pics I sent were not actually me, just your typical joke stock dick pic images........get it???"

Not a bad day at all. SNVP even broke out of its .0005-.0007 cycle and hit .0008. Picked up some EGOC based on a recommendation from a coworker who got it from Texags. Pure speculation but its cheap and already up for me.
I had one of those days as well . For some reason, about 1/3 of my portfolio was up 10% or higher today, and my largest holding LGND was up another 6% after being on a pretty solid tear of late. The best day my portfolio has had since the glory days of the market crash when i was balls deep in puts I picked up in February. Strange because the market wasn't that strong today. I guess I will try to remember days like this when things go the opposite direction, or I stubbornly buy puts thinking the market will act rationally (looking at you DASH and my stupid gamble on Aug puts that are already down 40%).
Biggest headscratcher was AIRG (wireless antenna OEM) up 33% today and going strong after hours. No press release, it just shot up like a mfer right before close, could be an acquisition I guess. I'm in at a cost of $11, but I started picking up shares in 2017, and was basically flat until a couple of months ago. That along with RESN meant my wireless plays had a pretty solid day.

decimal places are hardOver the weekend I spent a few minutes identifying some stonks for further review. one of which was UAPC although i don't even really remember why, might have been a volume screen of some sort. In any case it closed at .004 on Friday and at one point it touched .022 this morning. I was somewhat displeased on missing out, but the reason for the 400%+ gain (since has settled back down to .011) is about as stonky as it gets :
QuoteLAS VEGAS, Jan. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UAPC INC. (OTC Pink: UAPC) announces the appointment of professional wrestler, actor, and entrepreneur, Rob Van Dam (RVD), as the new Chairman of the Board. Rob Van Dam is the Only Wrestler in history to have held the WWE Championship, the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
Rob Van Dam (RVD)
During his nearly three decades in the squared circle, Rob Van Dam set himself apart for being an equal parts charismatic personality and one of the highest flying wrestlers in all of the promotions he’s wrestled for. Starting from humble roots in local house shows in Michigan, Van Dam’s illustrious career as “The Whole F'n Show” has resulted in an endless number of championships across Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Total Nonstop Action (TNA), and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).Throughout the course of much of his career, Van Dam has been an open advocate for community and the medicinal uses of the cannabis plant. Whether incorporating hints of 4/20 and cannabis culture into his wrestling persona with slogans such as “RVD 420” which translates to “means I just smoked your ass” or displaying the passion for the plant’s several medicinal uses across countless interviews, Van Dam’s passion for cannabis-based medicines and culture has always been apparent.
After missing out on that goldmine, I just said fuck it and threw some stonk money at the other stonk I had scribbled down: PLRTF. Why? Fuck it, I know they make drones for threat protection or some shit. If ALPP has taught me anything, its that drones = 100x appreciation in stonk price, even if those drones generate zero revenue. Thats it. Thats my thesis. In at a price of .35 and a relatively subdued market cap of $16 million.

speaking of long forgotten shit. I bought 500 shares of RESN in mid 2018 (cost ~4.00) which promptly went in the shitter and dipped as low as $1 in march. It was always a long term play so I pretty much forgot about it. Noticed that it has gone from about $2.50 to $6.00+ in the last month. Basically a gamble that their tools for designing RF filters are in fact a game changer. Not really a recommendation as they still aren't really generating much revenue, but if they can capture even a small share of RF filter market (IP/royalty model) there's some potential with 5G and all sorts of new wireless communications devices (satellite broadband etc...) on the horizon. It would only take a few key wins in the cellular handset space to juice this fucker.....but they could also never hit stride, and just fade away. At least the last two quarters show some evidence of adoption.

With few exceptions, the "I own 17 guns, and there ain't a goddamn thing the government can do about it" dipshits are largely some of the dumbest motherfuckers I know.

Surly #Stonks
in Business and Markets
I have now segmented my stonks into groups.
The "hit it and quit it" group, which will be stonks I'm just trying to catch a quick double up. CTLE would be an example of that. I havent even done enough research to really know what they do, its just based on a simple screen I'm doing.
The "I think she has potential, this could go somewhere" group. Included in this group would be the FPVD's of the world
And then there's the psycho ex girlfriend group. Right now that is BBRW . I have been in and out of that stock about 5 times since I've been working from home due to the pandemic. A lot of the time I have to keep averaging down for weeks/months, but it always spikes up at some point. Currently sitting on a few hundred K at .002. about ready to sell. And then wait for another decline where I'll jump back in. I cant quit you BBRW.
