Hey we're talking about "research" here, not research. Don't bother with any formal schooling in finance or economics or computer science, either, that's education and education ain't got nothin' on "research". You haven't really done "research" until you've googled some poo poo that confirmed your priors, filled your Twitter feed with laser-beam-eye avs, and spent dozens of hours watching Youtube videos with titles like "WHAT (((THEY))) DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT BITCOIN, THE NEW GOLD STANDARD FOR SOUND MONEY"

Well, if you educated yourself there is no way else you could possibly come to a different conclusion to the “objectively correct” conclusion as I did.

Bad news is this just isn’t the situation among coiners/nocoiners. It’s half of a half of America (the first half don’t get involved in the first place anymore).

I have seen a comment about Turing on <computer phile> (YouTube channel) just yesterday asking if it was true that he was a “cryptobro.”

Even the dead can be maligned these days.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

They are if you're advocating that we should do as you did. Feel free to round to the nearest million, or other amount that you're comfortable with, but please tell us how much in USD you've earned from cashing out cryptocurrency positions that you didn't "reinvest" in cryptocurrencies or NFTs or whatever.

If you can't do that, then I'll take my 70+% increase in index fund share values over the past 3 years, because I did my research.

Might I suggest type 1 diabetic with low kidney function? There’s the sweetness from your base diabetes and a subtle richness due to the increased protein content that one simply doesn’t get from your average piss, to say nothing of the improved milkshake quality — should you choose that path, naturally.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

despite my passive aggressive custom title, i'm far from wealthy, but i live comfortably on capital gains from mutual funds.

The cheapest one of these 8000 is now $40k. It is a random list of RPG like gear. There is no game involved, nor is there planned to be. Its just some text randomly generated by a script.

Originally they were free (plus transaction fees), but given the cryptosphere, we can assume they were all bought in this initial free state by the author or his associates before flipping them.
