BEHOLD: MY CAPE posted:Depending upon the overall picture of your family's finances, it actually could make a lot of sense to diversify your portfolio out of Korea and the Korean Won by purchasing real estate in other countries. Particularly if you stand to inherit her assets, it would make a lot of sense to understand Korean tax and estate law before you talked her out of doing that. that's why we told her to buy a reit fund she won't leverage so she can't make money in real estate. fine! get someone else to leverage she doesn't want to just keep principal, she wants to make money

i was at new york for an interview some time ago and i met up with a few buddies. among them was a friend of mine who had done math with me in school and went off into the dark side (goldman). he had his own book and his own desk 2 years out of his masters it's a leveraged trades and options desk he couldn't tell me numbers, but he said a single-digit percent of his position was in the 1000x leveraged equivalent of vix i learned that day that 1000x leveraged dealios exist

As if they don't work an extra job to maintain their lifestyle choices when they and their partner decide to stay home with the kids instead of work. guy i knew in school was kid of a >300-millionaire saudi prince and would get wire transfers of $300 grand for fun money he wanted plastic surgery and they flew a guy in from new york just lol

I might have misinterpreted that, in which case I’d be happy to be corrected. actually owning BTC, sure but lots of ICO literally put it into the contract that you're not buying a security and they owe you nothing ever in any way shape or form and they are also incorporated in the Caymans or the BVI. not just the Useless ICO either

like, one of my friends is doing an ICO. he got real lawyers and poo poo and incorporated a corporation and talked with his VC's who were cool with it and helped him with lawyers. i tend to think that it's completely pointless because he already has VC money and he won't run out for like 2.5 years but lol this exists in the same market as that ICO which incorporated in the Caymans and literally loving put it in the fine print that they can steal all your money and you have no recourse also the same market as PonzICO, which states upfront that it's a ponzi scheme e: basically, have you read divabot's book? everyone should read divabot's book, Attack of the Fifty Foot Blockchain bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Dec 1, 2017 |

"startup" and vc-backed startup are not the same if you go around w/ the "startups" your shitfuck people ratio is pretty bad vc-backed startup, it's a lot better an excellent exercise if you ever become friends with a vc is to ask to look at their slush pile. most vc's not that not awful have a slush pile that is only sifted through for comedy gold purposes, if ever. it's basically like publishing that way, where everyone will just admit they have a poo poo signal to noise ratio and do things by intros and human handshaking instead intros and human handshaking 100% caught theranos from the biotech dudes. not one biotech vc fund invested in theranos. it completely failed for dfj, lol
