I don't give a rat's ass about social media and don't use it outside of 4um and ZH.
I care about where this is heading. "The lucrative merger between corporate and state" has a name. Fascism.
We've got a front-row seat for the Nazification of America and WWIII.
Damn, it's gonna take a long time to get this monkey off the country's back. I won't make it to the end this time. In the past, I always had a country to return to. Not this time.

I pretty much got away from computers in the late 90s when I changed careers and haven't kept up on the tech or infrastructure, but was thinking the other day, "Why not set up some kind of digital numbers station?"

What are your thoughts?
A decentralized, blockchain type social media platform certainly has merit. The advantage is it could never be shut down by any single entity, and depending on how it's designed, posts might never be deleted. There could be "fact checking", potentially, if it's in the form of popular vote counts up and down. But it could work.
ONe issue is creating the motivation required so people would freely choose to participate in hosting it.
Do you know if there's any derivatives available that I could trade BTC in my brokerage accounts?
I don't know about how to trade BTC via a standard brokerage account, but you can open up an account with a crypto exchange then deposit cash, which could then be traded for crypto, whether bitcoin or many dozens of other coins. I could give you a couple referrals.
(Edit) Bitcoin $34355 -5165 -35.96% Can that be right? Man, not for the faint of heart if it is.
That's almost right. The raw numbers are about right but that's not reflected in the %. 5k out of 39k is only about 13%.
But you manage such potential swings by just scaling it differently. Whereas you might put $10k in a stock that might swing 5% on a big day, you just put $2k into crypto that might swing 25% in a big day. That way the net win & loss yields the same raw $ risk.
And I am confident crypto is here to stay. It's not going away, and that means going to zero is out of the question. 100k, on the other hand is in my view not a question of if, but only of when.
Right you are. I didn't look at the -5165 much. I focused on the %. Something seemed out of whack.
(Edit) Those #s were a c&p from ino.com whenever I posted. I always focus on cost and delta%, delta$ doesn't tell you much, but I should've looked closer.
