I lived at the Woo the second part of that summer and ate McD's every day of that promotion cause the winnings were so dominant by the USA as referenced above. Perfect for saving food budget for more important things. /csb

My bad-- for the Panamanian coins, a Balboa is their silver dollar sized coin which matched up to our $1. The giant hunk of silver is a 20 Balboa coin. I believe they made them in the 70s by melting down old demonetized silver coins, and it's sterling silver. Lots of little countries were selling silver coins to tourists and collectors at that time, and many of them were actually minted in Philadelphia.
Disclaimer: random memories from prowling coin sites, may or may not be accurate.
I think it is a 20 Balboa, from 1973. Wouldn't buy any numismatic type coins today. Bid/Ask is a nightmare unless you are holding for a long time and a big swing in price in your favor. If holding constant or goes against you due to bad timing, the bid/ask totally fucks you and then there is the storage costs.(just rented a box for $168 a year but it is for mortgage docs, titles, etc as well as the few valuables and jewelry)
My mom, back in the 80's, an art major from way back, melted down a Krugerrand and a diamond ring and made this(she wore it with that chain, the backside pic is extra blurry ) Not sure she used a total oz of gold or what. Haven't had it weighed or anything. Kind of sentimental value since she made it(not the chain of course, just the simulated nugget design w/diamond).

was at safe deposit box today with my shitty phone. here are some pics of what my grandfather gave me a few years before he died:
Silver Balboa, giant silver coin
$20 gold, keep trying to will a D on that spot below the date
$10 gold
There are other things but that is a start. (sorry for the shitty quality, the little rooms where you view your stuff are not well lit)
Any thoughts?

Strange. Thats not how it work for me (I have no current balance on cash app). I can select the investing option with the slider set to bitcoin. I select the buy button, and I am then presented with a dialogue to select how much in USD I want to buy. when I select next, I am prompted for my PIN, and once entered I am presented with a confirmation screen showing rate, fees, etc... at no point does money get withdrawn from my bank account. I can either submit the order or back out of it.
and yes the fees are ridiculous compared to coinbase pro:
For $100 purchase using cash app - fees are $2.26
For $100 purchase using coinbase pro - fees are $0.04
EDIT - I have it linked to a card rather than a checking account. Not sure if that matters.
are there differences other than the fees? like the ease of use once you are set up on cash app seem ridiculously easy. no idea on coinbase.
I worked for a former board of trade bigwig back in the day. one thing he always expressed was being able to get in and out was the biggest thing if you are right more times than you are wrong. Apparently cashapp is having issues today. or maybe it is because im new to it. anyway I just wanted to add 500$ and it won't let me. they say it is on their side, not my bank or anything I did.
No big deal unless it is like that a lot.

I’ve used it in the past and no problems. Their ceo, jack dorsey, is a relatively early adopter of bitcoin so happy to support him. And unlike PayPal, Cash allows you to transfer the bitcoin off the app.
One thing that I don’t like about buying on the cash app is that it’s a 2 step process. You have to fund your account and then make the buy. No big deal unless you want to stop at the last confirmation when you’ve seen the fees and final trading price. The money has already been withdrawn from your bank account.
If you decide to cancel at that last step, you can redeposit the funds back to your bank. In 3 days.
was able to make a payment this morning with the transacted bitcoin from last night. pretty slick.(fees are just part of it I guess at this point) Still seem to be restricted from adding more. so get your cashapp shit started well before you actually need to do it since it takes several hoops to jump through. but that is cool if the security is there.

Anyone used Cash App App to buy and trade or use or sell Bitcoin? Any pitfalls to watch out for? Did a 50$ purchase within minutes of installing the app as a trial. Trying again it is not letting me and I had to set up more stuff that is validating.
Am I asking for trouble with this app?

This may sound crazy, but Mayfield is probably the best QB drafted by the Browns since Brian Sipe in 1972.

Speaking of undefeated, he did beat a top ranked undefeated team as a starter before.
I remember this game but not the details. Seems like he was more dominant than he was:
https://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=302890158
4-16 62 yards
11 carries for 71 yards
including two 1 yard td runs.
Nub's Burkhead, iirc, was probably Texas' best player that day.

I didn't realize the SC actively issues orders. i thought they agreed to hear cases brought to them.
Just asking questions, for real. I think Biden has won, but I'm still reading about the continued shitshow till it's ova.

As in you devalued all the income you ever made and handed China and the EU the keys to global monetary policy.
"You" as in y'all who voted for trump or what was going to keep the dollar/fiat from devaluing more over time with brave/desperate deflationary blips in between?
Just now, FondrenRoad said:Maybe. Or perhaps California secedes, the Pacific states and northeast follow. And zork does nothing about it because all zork is capable of is nothing.
I admit my time is largely over. I doubt there is any forthcoming succession of states into other nations. I could be as wrong about that as @Wulaw Horn seems to generally be about recent Presidential elections.(remaining states to be decided notwithstanding, of course)

It's over. Country is done. Moose out front should have told you.
Define over? As in Russia blowing us up? China perhaps unleashing even more disease? Famine, pestilence, more Trump convoys that lead to SS troops forming from their ranks?

shared legacy?
But seriously: What happens from here at 3:22AM 11/4/2020?
Does Collins hold on?
GA senate runoffs?
Does Biden win GA?
Does Trump hold on to win the Blue wall again?
Holy shit what a night.

(snip) The only policy where this doesn't work for me is climate change and something like the GND. That is something that has to be aggressively pursued, though parts of it can be tempered to reality. (/snip)
This made me LOL wondering which parts are which wrt reality wrt the GND and how many Oprah trillion dollar coins it would take to implement even the tempered to reality versions of each part.
