Why didn't they make the game good instead? That's what I would have done.

I've been looking to diversify my investment portfolio recently. I've selected a few high yield ETFs that look very promising and I think I'm also going to put some cash into an emerging markets mutual fund. My question is, how much equity should I put into Axecoin?

Bitcoin was a case of people correctly recognizing it as a horribly planned out and bad idea, but incorrectly assuming that would stop people from buying in. Bitcoin was poo poo, but people overestimated the intelligence of the public. Myself included, I kinda wish instead of reading up on it that I had just bought into the hype. Oh well, time to invest in the new stupid looking investment opportunity before it takes off, Juicero!

Wheeee posted:Bitcoin was a case of people correctly recognizing it as a horribly planned out and bad idea, but incorrectly assuming that would stop people from buying in. Nah. I entertained the same idea as well but think about it: the only way you can make a 'good' investment is by accurately recognizing an undervalued asset and identifying a corresponding price at which it's overvalued and you should sell it. Even if you wanted to gamble with it- when would you have sold? Keep in mind you still correctly recognize that 'worthless' is the proper value so at any point you buy.... when do you sell? A dollar is overpriced. Ten dollars is overpriced. This is what I tell people when they find out that I'd mined bitcoin back when a single machine could still reliably harvest entire blocks on its own and deleted them. Yeah I could be a millionaire by now but- I'd had to have never sold them at any point. I would have sold them at when they hit a dollar. I would have sold them when they hit ten dollars. DEFINITELY would have sold at a hundred. Also this assumes that you would have successfully navigated the labyrinth of scams and cons involved with actually liquidating them.

A dollar is overpriced. Ten dollars is overpriced. This is actually really interesting. I think most people here were probably knowledgeable of bitcoin back when it was first released (mostly in a mocking sort of way), years before the price surge, but the problem back then was that they were really and truly worthless. The only place to actually use them was from some weird dark net weed dealers who were also convinced bitcoin would land them rich. Like, if Steam had accepted bitcoins? Yeah, maybe. The reasons to buy in were so flimsy that it was less about identifying public stupidity and more like being willing to buy into a get-rich-quick pyramid scheme. Even after the huge spike and now drop, I...still don't know a single person with an investment into bitcoins. I would not be surprised to hear about some sort of RICO act, insider trading associated with the abnormal spike in bitcoin.

AnEdgelord posted:This is my first time hearing about this, though I always suspected that the whole thing was a pump and dump scheme on a massive scale. Got any links with the juicy details? Basically some enterprising fellow decided to run their own crypto-currency called 'tether' which was guaranteed to be 1-to-1 exchangeable with US dollars. They then used that to buy up bitcoins which they'd then move to other markets to sell for actual money. For a long time they printed absurd numbers of tether to the point where anyone with two brain cells to rub together knew they couldn't possibly have that much cash on hand. Bitcoiners, however, just remained, 'skeptical' quote:Despite the fact that USDT has quickly become the 9th most valuable project in the industry, many remain skeptical about the funds behind the project, as the Tether organization has been slow to procure the documents that show that it holds $2.5+ billion in its reserves. While the Tether organization, which has been linked to Bitfenix’s leadership team, fired its auditors earlier this year, it has since shown some evidence to suggest that there are funds that back 100% of USDT tokens. Yes you're reading that correctly. This was when bitcoin was surging through the five figure territory and about three months before it finally peaked at roughly $20k Well the whole thing ultimately collapsed a little over two years ago and has been stagnant around $4k for a while now. The feds have finally gotten involved and are investigating the guys behind tether

seeing what was in the secret shop was probably the only consistently enjoyable part of the game. Of the 3 item shop slots it was the least poorly conceived. yes, the other 2 slots were somehow more irritating than "literally a random item"

I didn’t mind secret shop, I kind of liked the idea that you could randomly get any one item. In theory it would help against unforseen matchups, since there’s no sidboard or anything in the game. But lol, the game never fleshed out enough to get to the point where you could even go up against a deck you didn’t plan for.

Apparently there was some paid entry Artifact tournament in Denver that was being peddled up until 2 days ago on Reddit. Encouraging people to buy in and travel and plan accommodations. It was gonna happen this weekend. Today they cancelled it. Artifact!

Having the item deck only affect one of the three things you can buy each turn does undermine that aspect of deck building. Then again all item decks are boring so just getting random poo poo from the secret shop was one of the few things that could inject fun into an artifact game.

I clicked on some gigantic effort post which was essentially every batshit defence of the game writ large. My favourite part was how Richard Garfield was working for free now because he was desperate to be a part of something that will inevitably be a huge success once they make a couple of changes.
