Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

O0 Hilarious! I would break out if I did that. Then again I break out if I have peanut butter rice. Or soda. Or any…food O0 You have a lot of food sensitivities? I recently found out via blood test that I’m lactose intolerant. I’m currently cutting out dairy to see the effect. Bye bye cheese. 🧀 :(

Good stuff. I’ll try not to think about it next time I use the sauce 😂
Both me and my fiance love to simply mix it with white rice and just eat that as a meal. ;D

Re: BTC in the PP

Does it contain anything that already wasn't included within Moldbug's article that started the whole "Bitcoin as a store of value" argument? I didn't know the name Moldbug until you just mentioned it. Is it this article? https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2013/04/bitcoin-is-money-bitcoin-is-...

Re: New interview with Craig Rowland

It's a good point. If productive companies are winning then that generally means society and people are probably doing well. If cryptocurrencies win in a big way it's probably because there's been some major monetary system upheaval.

Re: BTC in the PP

The interesting thing about this, is that in the long run, it might not matter much how much you have, just as long as you have some. I personally don’t care about the difference between being a billionaire or a trillionaire. This is exactly how I bought. Just threw some tiny cash into it and walke...

You are responsible for bringing your own jars.
I've got some here, but most of them are pretty small. They're from my favourite condiment: XO sauce. ;D

Re: Gold Items On Sale

Not to be confused with the ‘Best Deals Right Now in Gold.’ This is not the best deal. There’s a French 20-franc rooster coin on sale at Apmex. I usually stick with 1 oz bullion for investments, but I’m tempted to have one or a few to add to the collection. Does anyone own a rooster? No, but it def...

Hey there Smithers, don’t get discouraged and down on yourself. There’s a reason old guys are still valuable for their sage knowledge. We too were once non-discriminating instant common-sewers.

At some point, the number of surly bogleheads grew too great in number for me to bear. And, if you respond to them the moderators treat you like you’re part of the problem.
Just ignore them, Smithers. Surf for info and never post there.
