    OT: Electric vehicles

    I know of one self-park garage in Manhattan. It’s down near Battery Park just off West St, so definitely not convenient for those driving into the city through the Lincoln Tunnel or GW. If, however, you are driving from south of exit 127 on the Parkway, and you want to self park in the city, it...

    OT: Electric vehicles

    Narratives plus anecdotes tend to be misleading. Data from the NYSB, posted above, reveals that ICE have more than 1,000 fires per 100,000 vehicles while EV have less than 30 fires per 100,000 vehicles. Perhaps EVs will improve. If they do, they will widen the gap.

    OT: Electric vehicles

    Posting articles about EV fires is information. It’s not useful information, though, to assess the risk of EV fires as compared to ICE fires, as this article in Autoweek discusses: https://www.autoweek.com/news/a38225037/how-much-you-should-worry-about-ev-fires/ Researchers from insurance...

    OT: Elizabeth Holmes guilty

    That‘s precisely what happened in this thread. Biden was mentioned in a disparaging way, and a poster responded in kind going after Trump. No outrage about Biden being mentioned, only about Trump.

    Suffice to say, I had more respect for you before this exchange than I do now. And that’s surprising and disappointing, but your emotional reactions to questions about your rationale are now part of the record. I’ll now respect 05’s request above.

    With all due respect, your response strikes me as very convenient when the event you stated BTC will protect owners from occurs yet the price, since the inception of this thread, has declined by more than half. I suppose that’s one way to learn that BTC may not be a store of. value that...

    OT: Bitcoin, Altcoins, NFT's & All Things Crypto

    Don’t need to know you. Just need to read what you posted about why you’re buying bitcoin, and based on what you wrote, your reasons have changed. You have not been saying “the same ****.” “Buy bitcoin and hold it” is not a justification for buying bitcoin. Learning more about technology...

    OT: Bitcoin, Altcoins, NFT's & All Things Crypto

    Generally, analysts aren’t canned for being wrong. Do it enough, and yeah, you’ll have a problem. But when you’re basing an investment on a thesis such as an acquisition closing, and it doesn’t happen, any merger arb or event driven investor will say “sell.” When they hold, and the stock...

    OT: Bitcoin, Altcoins, NFT's & All Things Crypto

    I know you’re joking, but perhaps it’s worth stating for others. Thesis creep refers to a change in thesis, and is not labeling the person advancing a thesis a creep. A classic example is when someone buys a stock ahead of some event expecting the stock to move higher once the event occurs. If...

    Don’t need to meet you. Just need to read your posts. Criticizing justification, and changing justification, isn’t a personal indictment. But the thesis creep is important to note, as it is a common mistake many investors make when an investment underperforms.

    OT: Bitcoin, Altcoins, NFT's & All Things Crypto

    It’s classic thesis creep, pure and simple, along with a precipitous price decline. You want to believe in this stuff, and are changing your thesis to support your belief. When the inflation hedge store of value thesis didn’t work, you latched onto another theoretical application.

    OT: Bitcoin, Altcoins, NFT's & All Things Crypto

    Regariung your comments on BTC anticipating the inflation move, it’s certainly possible but would also mean the fixed income markets did not see what crypto buyers did. That’s a tough one for me to believe.

    As far as I can tell, you don’t keep saying “the same ****.” For example, in the quoted post above, you state that bitcoin will be used in lieu of currency for digital payment. That’s not what you said when you started this thread, though. Here’s what you said: The people who say that...

    OT: Why the real estate market is not in a bubble: Q1 2023 update video added to OP

    not true, they’d behave as you would in a poker game, betting more heavily when odds are in your favor and pulling back when holding a weak hand. When everyone rushes into real estate or any other asset class, it’s time to be cautious. Likewise, when fear prevails, bargains are likely at...
