    I do trade but I'm not fucking stupid. I don't do bit coin because of all the nasty dealing involved like I don't by bond funds whose trading symbol is JNK

    When the transaction is closed. I hope you didn't buy in, that is a very basic business question. Please educate yourself before diving into anything.

    Except those are regulated which flattens out the swings and give investors more confidence in the markets.

    At the height of the tulip craze people were purchasing tulip *futures*. The were purchasing the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of a current high value tulip. Also options as well.

    Same as it ever was.

  9. typical unregulated market on Bitcoin's Value Plummeted Overnight and No One Knows Why (slate.com) · · Score: 0

    With no safeties in place, dark trading, doubtless insider trading, coins concentrated in a few hats who cash out when they want with no warning, no transparency, etc.

    The only way to have a healthy market approximating a Free Market is through regulation.

    Doesn't that make you feel better?

  14. A couple of wrinkles more. The gragage must be able to proof the gold, weigh it accurately, and then adjust for factors such as driving to the shop which will buy it, in my case in my area 5% under spot.

  15. No. Just lazy in the right way. Now get to work playing with your tool.

  20. Re:Simple enough on 'Productivity Is Dangerous' (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    That's too bad. It's better to come in late and leave late, even if it doesn't amount to more. Here are the scenarios:

    1) Reboot comes in at 500. has lunch about 10, then goes home at three. Result: people think he slacking even though he has put in 10 hours.

    2) Reboot comes in at 930 has lunch about noon, and then goes home and then goes home at 6pm after most managers and other coworkers start to go home. People think Reboot is diligent. Total hours worked: 8

    So don't do it. We are trapped in the Matrix, a rigid and inhuman system.

    Never post your face. Post a picture of a comic book, oops i meant to say "graphic novel", hero, an animal, a tree or some other item.

    Avoid group photos which may end up on FB.

    Have someone tag an incorrect image of you a few times, such as a pet, baby, incorrect ethnicity, etc. In other words misinformation.

    GIGO. An algorithm fed incorrect data will not give correct results.

  22. Off topic? I was expressing an obvious point abut the toll assisting getting the job done instead of hindering it.
