  1. First I would like to thank my wife. Every weekend she’s got some to do list for me, or some event planned for us to use to strengthen our relationship, but I ignore all that so that I can stare at my phone and try to thing of clever things to type to random strangers. Next, Wulaw Horn. When I was nothing, had barely a pot and a window, he recognized my talent, and pulled me from the masses - anointing me as tied for something in week 3. Finally, I would like to thank the 2022 Texas longhorn football team. You made it interesting - even when you didn’t have to. I hereby disclaim my winnings (don’t want to get pushed into a higher tax bracket) and ask Wulaw to use them as he/she/they best sees fit. Good night.
  2. Studying. This should be interesting.
  3. All right fine, I’ll bite. I want to buy 1 Bitcoin. Trade cash for 1 Bitcoin. Seriously, I can tolerate this amount going to $0. First step? Open an account somewhere?
  4. You say it’s intriguing - I agree. You say it’s worthwhile. Other than for the intrigue, why is it worthwhile?
  5. The chart earlier today in this thread showing that it had only had two down years, or the dip where it went from 36 cents to 6 cents - what was the point of those? I took those to mean that “sure, everything has hiccups, but overall this is a great move.” Maybe I cut a corner with “sure thing.” I didn’t show up to spike the ball. I was employed to work on a voyager project. I started reading and, what I’ve learned is, nobody has a straight answer about much of this stuff. It is mostly “it’s the next best thing.” But the way I see it, people aren’t picking this stuff up for financial transactions or to make their lives easier. It’s speculative. They think it will be worth more tomorrow than. It is today. I can’t figure out why it will be soooo valuable tomorrow but I can see that people say “it increased in value in the past so, surely it will in the future.” Doesn’t answer my questions. And so I throw out my pithy quips and opinions here and watch the responses.
  6. If it’s such a sure thing why does it swing so wildly? And if it’s the best currency ever, why do you constantly compare it to dollars?
  7. Contribute those to a wallet, get them on the chain, and then you can lever up baby.
  8. Can we start up a surly crypto? Seems easy. We just make up a name, and start cranking it out. Some press releases about how its the next greatest thing - better than the last one. When some idiots come along and want in - we jack the price and trickle some volume out. Then, when we get some real action, we dump and use the cash to buy a condo in the bahamas and pay some football players. Did I miss a step? I propose we call it "Gig em coin." I've got an idea about where we might find customers.
  9. Nailed it. If anyone is able to get money out of this debacle, they’ll need to put it somewhere. More lambos? GME?
  10. No kidding. Somebody is going to get stuck with a bunch of worthless shit. Fortunately it will be easily disposed of because it doesn’t even exist. You won’t be able to wallpaper your bathroom with the worthless paper because there ain’t none. just poof! Gone.
  11. Buff the wood!
  12. Was that the quail/wild game place? Whatever it was it wasn’t Kings Inn. Spell it however you want but I know how to pronounce it. And don’t come at me - I planted a palm tree in that place once and played basketball in their gym.
  13. You traded a blizzard made with Smokey fingers for a blizzard made with clean fingers and a Smokey loogie blended inside? Not sure you came out ahead on that one.
  14. Ree - Vera pendejo. Riviera is in France. And Linden, Texas is in a whole ‘nother league of suckitude when it comes to DQ. I am boycotting it.

    I’ve never known a “coasty,” but have many friends with a license/ticket. Was friends with this man https://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/bounty-captain-and-owners-negligent-for-fatal-sinking-in-hurricane-sandy/2184134/?outputType=amp I have great respect for those that go to sea.
  16. Yeah, I agree. I was looking at the voyager deal and just contemplating all that crypto sitting in a bk court and then one day it dumps into market. Now, we got a twofer because FTX will follow the same course. And, when it does happen, demand will have evaporated which I guess exacerbates the situation.
  17. Serious question. All the voyager crypto is locked in ch. 11. Whatever “all” is (1.8billion?), it’s out of the “market.” Not in the “float.” Now, FTX and Alameda’s assets will be locked/frozen, etc. I would say odds of that are 100% and I’m surprised they haven’t filed anything in bankruptcy court yet. Those assets come out of the float market. And so these two failures have decreased the supply of multiple cryptocurrencies. Does that supply decrease inflate the remaining float’s price? And if so, when these bankruptcies unwind, will that supply increase depress the prices? Can anyone try to explain why I’m correct that these events pull supply off the table and artificially increase prices for a time?
  18. I spent a few hours reading the Voyager bankruptcy docs this week trying to predict the recovery from a locked voyager account. Then I wrote an email that included “when ftx closes the purchase …”. Probably should have gone with “if FTX closes the purchase…” Oh well.
  19. Dude’s got a gimp in that gimp trunk behind him. I’ve seen pulp fiction., I know how this works.
  20. I wasn't intending to try to benefit Briles in any way, but i was trying to find the likely solution to the problem. Probably you don't scratch Jimbo a 90m check without a replacement in mind.
  21. I think the answer is they try to figure out how to get someone “super top notch” but on the sale rack. Yes Briles has baggage but is it the kind of baggage that dq’s him in this situation? Maybe not.
  22. The 90m is already spent. They already spent that money. The questions are: 1. Can they tolerate him staying? 2. Can they get some discount? 3. What kind of coach do they want/need, can they afford that person and are they available. Pretty sure they can’t get out of the 90 for free but maybe a discount. Question - does that contract have a forum/venue/choice of law provision? I’m guessing jimbo doesn’t want to litigate any contract disputes in Bryan County Court at Law number 17.
  23. Hypo - aggy wants to hire Briles (senior Briles, not one of the junior Briles). Will 2m get it?
  24. I dont really understand that provision. It seems to me that, if they want to make him 3rd assistant to the AD In Charge of don’t come anywhere near the football program, but still pay him, he should be perfectly happy. 10m to not show up for your job? I’m in.
  25. Thinking about the Jimbo buyout, inflation and the time value of money, he’s got 9’years left and inflation is over 8% - by my bar napkin math his last year of salary in today’s dollars may be a lot closer to $5mil than 10. If they offered him cash now he might take a significant discount and still come out ahead. Advantage.
