    You just watch though at the beginning of next season we will hear about these huge threats for the Super Bowl that the Browns and the ravens are it happens every year despite the fact that they draft ahead of us every year

     

    having said that how do you not give those QBs contracts when it is so hard to find just a serviceable one? You might see hold outs from the QBs because they think they’re worth is more than what the teams want to offer then eventually they will meet in the middle

    Wow, can you imagine paying a 1/4 billion dollars for a "serviceable" QB? Ouch.

     

    When I see the Browns, I imagine they wished they had taken Josh at #1.

  2. There is a man who pushes a large cart full of empty deposit bottles through North Buffalo.

     

    If I see him again, I would like to give him $50. Imagine how hard this guy works, pushing that thing all over the place.

     

    Now, I just have to find him again. I've missed Christmas, but I'm sure he could use the help any day.

    Crypto is shaping up to be the future of finance.  What are you all holding and investing in?  Metapets is the hot mover right now.

    What are meta-pets? Coins with dog pictures?

     

    "Hot movers" are not going to secure your family's future. You need to put a bit of research and science into it if you really want to make some money.

    This year, I am living solo and dining solo on Christmas Day.

     

    But I love a real turkey dinner, so I will attempt to simulate a turkey dinner using boxed ingredients.

     

    Kind of weird, but par for the weirdness of the year 2021.

     

    Butterball sliced turkey from the deli. Stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce. We'll see how this all turns out.

    Hey, it turned out pretty well. I even went back for seconds. I hope everybody had a lovely Christmas Day.

  6. I know nothing of Megan's music, but it is nice to see someone like this graduate college. It's a fine example for her young fans and followers.

     

    I only know of her from an ad for her hottie hot sauce at Popeye's restaurant.

     

    Too many celebrities seem to provide only bad examples by their behavior.

     

    So kudos to her.

    I was mostly joking. Didnt do too much, or as much as I'd like. More Algo (as always) and some LRC.

    LRC = Loopring. That is an Ethereum token, and Ethereum is going in the dumper. Hope you don't have too much into it.

    Why do you prefer LOBSTR over the standard Stellar Wallet? You can swap coins on the Stellar wallet as well. Are there any benefits?

     

    edit: hmm, maybe disregard. Looking further into it, it seems like what I thought was the official Stellar wallet isnt "official" at all, and just branded to look as such. Unlike the standard Algorand mobile wallet which is developed, supported, and provided by Algorand directly. Doesnt seem to be an equivalent for Stellar, which is kind of weird.

    Lobstr was the first Stellar wallet I looked into, and it turned out great, so I did not investigate the others (there is Stellarterm and one more, I think). Have had Lobstr since April and it makes the whole process easy.

     

    I would highly recommend Lobstr as well as the Stellar network tokens.

    Bitcoin is not exchanged through our current banking system so I have no idea what your constant harping on ISO 20022 even means to a decentralized crypto currency.

     

    XRP isn't even a crypto.  Its a centralized, pre-mined token.  For years people have been arguing XRP is effectively worthless and not even necessary to interact with Ripple Labs tech.  If XRP really explodes in value how does it still maintain its advantage of low cost transactions?

    I think the people who will get rich through XRP are the people already rich from XRP.  The guys who developed it, gave all of the pre-mined coins to themselves and waited for people to buy it because "its so cheap.  If I buy at 20 cents and it hits $1,000, not even 1/50th of Bitcoin, I'll be a millionaire!!!".  The XRP float is 100 billion tokens.  Compare that to 21 million BTC.

    Well, we can agree to disagree. The banking system is about to undergo a major change to QFS.

     

    But, stick with your BTC and I'll keep my XRP.

    My coinbase account balance says I have $160,937,857.19

     

    I have been trying to cash out for the last half hour. I guess it's a display issue. 

    I was just in there, and they said they were having "connection issues".

     

    Coinbase is in over their head, and I would not be surprised to see them go under soon.

     

    You would be wise to get your assets off of Coinbase. Is that $160M all Bitcoin? If so, you would be very smart to trade it for Stellar Lumens (XLM) and transfer it to Lobstr or another wallet. Otherwise, your days as a millionaire are numbered.

     

    The reality is that Bitcoin is doomed, as it is based on nothing. Proof of work? Burning kilowatts? Yeah, sure. 

     

    Bitcoin can not be ISO 20022 certified, so it will disappear.

    Coinbase - get out NOW!.JPG

    One more thing - all this anti-Bitcoin sentiment is not just me being a jerk. If you do some research, you can look into the future of finance.

    This is the chart I use.

    Well, that is a pretty flippant approach to take where your money (and family's future) is concerned.

     

    Some of you jokers like to mock what I say, but offer no science for your point.

  12. There is a little shop in Tonawanda that sells what looks like beautiful buds, but these things have been neutered during the growing process and have zero or miniscule THC. There ought to be a law against that sort of thing.

     

    At least 3.2 beer will give you half a buzz.

  13. If you can see your crypto choice on this ISO 20022 chart, you will be in good shape. ALGO, IOTA, XDC(E), USDC, XLM, and XRP will be part of the new QFS.

     

    If you are only in BTC and ETH, you will be very disappointed. The current dip is a good time to get into the Stellar Network. The Lobstr app/wallet is great.
