Investing is hard, that's why when I see someone that did well I listen. Carefully. Mocking them and telling them they did it all wrong and should have done something else is a bad look.
Does your friend do taxes on the down town eastside? it has been almost impossible to lose money in the markets over the last 20 years

I was also very surprised. I didn't prejudice the question I simply asked. This firm does personal and business tax.

My problem is cashing out gains to buy things.

A Vancouver company has been ordered to pay more than $400,000 in penalties and legal expenses for having multiple unsanctioned cryptocurrency mines in Alberta.



The Alberta Utilities Commission investigated Green Block Mining after residents in 10 households complained about noise from a natural gas plant near Greystone Manor, a neighbourhood in Sturgeon County, north of Edmonton.


The commission discovered the company, formerly known as Link Global, had set up four 1.25-megawatt gas generators on the site, powering computer servers that were mining digital currency.

Nothing like burning a ####load of gas, emitting CO2 to produce....#### all.

I'd imagine that is happening all over the place, especially in provinces with cheap power.

It's already 0.2% of emissions and growing rapidly. Definitely not what we need

What a stupid avatar bet...I will probably win but Jammies doesn't even post on CP. My avatar is way more valuable.

BTC over 64K Canadian today, almost is if the price is going up leading up to the halving. Who could have predicted that??

I don’t get it. You can use whatever avatar you want on here. Kind of a lame bet, TBH. The $1k would have been better.

That fact that he thinks his avatar has value is kind of amusing given the context of this thread. Maybe if it were an NFT?

You can hide avatars on posts in your User CP options. I've hidden avatars and signatures for a long time now.

Careful now, Dino7c will have to re-crunch his numbers to get a new avatar value if he knows some are hidden. Fewer impressions, and all.

every single time I post all you guys respond...even the guy supposedly ignoring me so much he has to tell me about it constantly lol

My avatar is fitting and hilarious

And to the guy ignoring me but constantly talking about me I called my shot years ago, it's not like I came on here AFTER it made hundreds of thousands and said I bought way back. Point was if I win this bet Jammies won't post on CP anyway.
