  1. in general, tether mint = whales are taking out loans to buy (BTC, alts) to push the market up.  when BTC moves into cexs it's bearish as whales look to take profits and sell BTC.  when it's market moving type money, they have to be somewhat delicate in timing and will use 'good' or 'bad' news (ETF happening; not happening; China banning etc...) to mask things and get more public money flowing.  it's never that simple though.  there are twitter accounts that track whale moves and try to map out what they and the big cexs are doing, but it's never 1+1=2.  if all that money is there waiting to buy, they are not going to buy at the local top, right?  There will be a move down so they can pack their bags more cheaply.

    again, nfa and all that.  as i have repeatedly said on this thread i get all my info from an anon discord channel lol.  i am about as qualified to talk crypto as some of you are at breaking down PK's zone defense on the football board (sushihorn notwithstanding).  i've got roughly half my crypto kitty in the market right now.  some long-ish term and some with stop losses set.

    Doing a q&d search, looks like their athletic fee is $350 each, times 77k means the students are paying Jimbo's $26 million 2024 buyout, with about tree fiddy left over for gas.

    did you deduct 2%?

    I agree with you 100%. I actually only listen to the one free show and that's when I'm walking the dog at 10pm. I know it makes me a dinosaur, but I'm all about live/local. I don't really enjoy listening to something I know was recorded three days ago, especially if I have to jump through a few hoops to get to it.

    i mean, how else would you even know that Michael Jackson died?

  4. is Ohtani really giving up the time value of money and not getting any increase in total compensation for deferring?  the Bonilla deferred buyout comes to mind, so why would Ohtani give the Dodgers an interest free loan essentially (other than wanting to free up salary for stellar teammates)?  

    I have to believe this has not really been done before 'cause no other player would risk inflation (or new taxes) eating in to that 700M.  Fuck, the world or America may not even resemble today in 10-15 years.  700M could buy some kick ass zombie apocalypse gear or a private island or three with Airwolf, Blue Thunder AND Firefox to ferry you back and forth to the mainland.

    Maybe he can spend some of the money on Rosetta Stone and learn to speak English?

    dude could probably buy the real Rosetta Stone at this point.  British Museum, right?

    yes, he is an institution and there are ways to make some money back, but $70MM seems a little panic-y and bidding against themselves.

  6. no one really thinks utility or feature set or scalability has anything to do with the pricing, right (talking about alt coins here)?  we are just trying to read the whale tea leaves and make some money in their wake.  at least that's my take on it.  World events, new stories, EFT chatter are the bandaids to help manipulate the markets.  Whales just liquidated a TON of leveraged longs with this plunge down from recent highs.  not sure how much tether they still have liquid to keep the momentum going, but overall i think a bull run is starting where holding coins longish term will make sense.

    Been riding one called INJ for a while now along with some SOL exposure.  I still remember my stop loss hitting on SOL back in the day around 90 and liquidating my position.  amazing that it could come back from the dead like this.  there is now a ton of chatter about SOL NFTs and that volume will spike up and surpass ETH based NFTs every now and then.  i need to go through my old Phantom wallets and see how much loose SOL is still there.

     

  7. i think there was a permanent stickied thread about UT PUF taking money out of west Texas oil and that Tech should get some of that back on that old board RaiderPower.  the Tech old guard was very salty about that.

    no fuss no muss 14pt win.  let's get it done.

    Wife and I were spitballing vacation ideas for the week between christmas and new years. Banff was suggested.  Anyone been there?  Suggestions on where to stay? Recommendations on skiing lake louis, banff or mt norquay?

    I boarded since ‘95 but have aged out of it. I ski blues. Not interested in moguls; looking for steep blues primarily. Wife is going for the views. I doubt she’ll put on skis but would get in a gondola to see the views.

    We’d prefer to be walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Seems like downtown banff kinda fits the bill but looking for suggestions.

    we did Banff many many moons ago maybe 25 years back?, i think in Feb. on just random trip the wife and I took.  number one thing i remember was how fucking cold it was.  i rode the whole time but we were really just doing 1 run off the chair and then straight to the bar to warm up and have a drink.  Then repeat the cycle of freezing our ass off on the lift, skiing down and warm back up.  I am pretty sure we stayed at the Fairmont Banff Springs.  not very helpful i know

  9. Portillo, Chile booked for late July.  have this thread to thank for putting the bug in me to go and it took zero arm twisting to get the fam on board.  nabbed one the chalets.  hopefully they are as cool as they look.

    aggy Bob is angry that aggy can't step up to the big leagues over and over. He's constantly harped, little brother style, about how aggy needs a seat at the table. I really really hope the reports are true that aggy is keeping Jimbo another year just to drive aggy Bob crazy

    is he OkieST bob now?  i guess i should listen to the show, but now that OSU is in line for a b12 champ game slot, he was giddy that the bad reffing continues

    Ahh man, hate it when that happens.
     

    I’ve got a free place to stay at CB so that’s why we are headed there. 
     

    I guess I’ll call the office again and hope to get someone more helpful. Seems like there has to be a way to buy lift tickets for 3 days of skiing spread out over 6 days. 

    yeah some places will do like a week pass (7 day) with 4-5 days to ski.  have not been to CB yet so not sure.  We are headed there in Feb, but bought the Epic pass really early on.  Should actually get decent use as we are headed to Whistler over spring break as well.  I think the break even price for getting the pass is skiing 5-6 days total, so it's normally worth it.

    from your post many moons ago, RE: the kids and lessons.  since they are all first timers, it might be worth it to do a private lesson for all 3 at the same time for the first day, but totally recommend some sort of lessons for consecutive days for them.
