    Either I'm missing the sarcasm/humor in your post, which is entirely possible, or this is a bit of an overreaction to some good natured ribbing (which GB clearly got, since he laughed at it).

    If it was good natured ribbing, then I take it back. I didn't know if you were familiar with GB's work.

     

    Sometimes we need a <sarcasm> tag around this place.

    I spent a week’s vacation in Northern Vermont a couple weeks ago. Weather and allergies were a big downer. My eyes were a mess almost certainly due to ragweed. Last week here in Buffalo everything was okay. This weekend and today it feels like Vermont all over again. Anyone else going through this?

     

    FYI I am taking Claritin, Zyrtec and Benadryl on a daily basis.

    Claritin and Zyrtec? Don't they have the same anti-histamine function?

    Dumb question but I always wondered what "support" meant. Also, would a 4TB still work even though only 2TB is "supported" ?

    "Support" could be in regards to how much storage the DTV box can actually access.

    I keep hoping it's a troll job, but hardly the kookiest character TBD/TSW has produced.

     

     

    Not trolling. It is something I strongly believe in.

     

    Admittedly, it is hard to convince anyone else about it, but that is OK. I was only trying to let other folks know about the opportunity, but some folks get all bent out of shape about it.

    I feel like if someone is taking your advice on this, they should maybe be concerned that you don't seem to know where it's value comes from.

    Then just ignore me, or do some research to see if it can work for you.

     

    I don't have all the details, but I am happy to have a substantial bag of XRP. I know that it's future is bright.

    it seemed like you claimed it was the major selling point of XRP. Now it doesn’t matter?


    I also don’t understand why you think XRP is different than other cryptocurrencies you say are backed by “hope”. XRP is not backed by any actual asset either. 

    The major selling point is that it is the currency to be used by the QFS. Perhaps I misspoke in saying it is "backed by gold". XRP has a great future.

    This is all coming from a guy who thought his crypto was backed by gold and silver. Got his information from fake twitter and youtube videos.

    TBBills, you know nothing.

    I’m not saying it’s a bad investment. I don’t know enough about it to say either way. But if you’re investing heavily in XRP, I would think it would be for other reasons (like because you believe ripple could eventually replace SWIFT).
     

    If you believe the world’s economy will totally collapse and a new system will take over (I certainly don’t) I would think things like precious metals would be better investments.

    SWIFT will be replaced by QFS (Quantum Financial System), and XRP operates on that new network.

     

    Precious metals is probably the best investment right now - physical gold or silver you can hold in your hand, not these Wall Street stuff like SLV.

     

    That Goldscape article was kind of ridiculous, like the guy is doing his thesis on gold-backed crypto. Most of those coins he mentions will not be around for very long.

     

    As far as all this "where is the gold?" and "how much is there?", I don't really care about all that. I know where the banking system is headed, and I have invested accordingly.

     

    @TBBillsWe shall see who has the right information. Time will tell, but I have full confidence in my choices of XRP, XLM, and silver.

     

    For the rest of you guys, enjoy your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and whatnot. We can just agree to disagree on what coins are the best investment (or "gamble", as some folks think).

    Wouldn't that just be an asset, the thing with actual value, just with crypto colored wrapping paper?

    XRP is backed by gold. XLM is backed by silver.

     

    Gold and silver are the assets.

     

    Most people are not accustomed to crypto being backed by anything but hope.

  10. When most of you guys talk about crypto, why do you only focus on Bitcoin? I know it's the first one, and maybe the only one most people are aware of. But it is backed by nothing but thin air. Of course it goes up and down, manipulated by the whales.

     

    Do a bit of research and look at the few coins which can be considered "asset-backed digital assets". It is easier just to call them crypto, but XLM and XRP are functional in the new financial system.

     

    Did you know that you can buy XRP today for 34 cents? It's an amazing value. XRP is still de-listed on many exchanges, but is available through Lobstr.

     

    Open a Lobstr account, buy some XLM (from Coinbase or wherever) and send them to your Lobstr address. Swap some XLM for XRP, and you can soon have more money than you can imagine. Just spend even $50 or $100, and you will make some BIG money.

     

    Or you can just keep riding the Bitcoin roller coaster, at least until completely goes off the tracks.

    Good for Tim Tindale.   His part in throwing dirt on Shula's professional grave will always be appreciated.

     

    IIRC. That was the game where Thurman plowed into Fish DC Tom Olivadotti on the sidelines.

    Hamilton now 0-4.  OK, now  you can circle the wagons.

    Hamilton has blown a couple good leads already this season. Just blowing it.

     

    In other news, former Bills RB/FB Tim Tindale "The Canadian Comet" is going into the Canadian Football HOF.

     

    Kaiir Elam's uncle Matt Elam is still playing "safety" (defensive halfback?) in the CFL.

    Obviously long-winded here because it strikes a nerve. Maybe it’s not strictly unpopular, but I’d rather be happy than rich. 

    I'm glad you told us what your wife's job was, since she loved it so much.

     

    If you can find work that you love doing, that's one of the secrets to a happy life.

    9/11 was an inside job

    Unpopular, but absolutely true.

     

    We should soon be able to see the real 9/11 perps confess to their horrible crimes. You have seen them before, but I won't spoil the ending for you.

    Kansas City Chiefs could offer up Clyde Edwards-Helaire and a 2023 draft pick in exchange for the former Penn State stud running back. 
     

    Thoughts…..

    Barkley's so-called career has been underwhelming at best. For the #2 draft pick, the Giants have gotten very little value. Of course, that reflects on the Giants offense as a whole.

     

    Andy Reid could probably put him to good use.

    You even need to be careful buying weed now.  Dealers are lacing that with fentanyl, too.  The days of scoring a dimebag from any Joe Schmo you meet are long gone.  Way too risky.

    There are dispensaries now where you can buy weed safely and legally.

     

    I found one out in Gowanda (https://goodleaf716.com/), which will suffice until something closer to home pops up.

     

    It's a great option compared with buying from some guy on the street.
