I manage a business and trash talked another local business for some petty reasons - I would dissuade my customers from visiting their shop and spread some stuff that was exaggerated about the quality of their food/food service environment.
Anyway, for reasons, I had a change of heart and felt guilty. Although I don't know if the owner knew that I was actively bad mouthing his restaurant, I went in there today, asked for his contact info from the guy at the counter, and emailed him an apology for bad mouthing his store.
A friend issued a red flag saying that...

Fine when I remind myself their are 2bn of them, so they're worth 100x less than a single American college educated white male with a STEM degree and mad trumpcoins.
Other ASX winners are allowed too. No memecoin/neetbux shills please.
Discuss your net trades, what you have left, and what you're doing with those sweet profits. Other tips are welcome. Also speculation on GXY price trajectory.
>Pic related, it's my GXY sales.
Still got 10k left of GXY, going to invest half my profits into Vanguard S&P ETF, the other half will go to buying back GXY in the next two days before it hits 60c on Friday.

Containment from what though? As if /biz/ is some incessant hub of activity, a literal storm of brilliant ideas drowned out by our discussion of literally the only major /biz/ related event in the last 24 hours.

Aussie markets are open on Memorial Day? Wth have some respect you fucks
People who had trouble (sometimes severe trouble) learning math and science in high school are making 100, 200, 300k a year. This, unfortunately (fortunately) is going to end when the crisis hits. Economies must reach equilibrium. Stopping the regress of these math science illiterate people into earning 20k a year is going to be like trying to stop drugs from crossing the border into america. There is no way to stop economics, it is a force of nature.

You recommend a degree in math?

What's the outlook for the marijuana industry from a /biz/ standpoint?
It's definitely piquing my interest. I have a rich background in horticulture, and I'm planning on finishing up my degree in greenhouse plant production soon, and I also know the ins and outs of how a small business operates.
I'm banking on the inevitability of the gradual continuation of decriminalization, and I'm also aware of the hurdles involved, including the fact that banks generally want nothing to do with the industry, and the fact that the industry is cutthroat...

Good if you're selling equipment, bad if you're planning on growing/selling flower.

Simply due to oversaturation?

Exactly.
Are AI-controlled hedge funds just a myth? I can't imagine how you would program a bot for something so unpredictable, let alone make it show any sort of consistency.
you're right
But you can Program a machine to perform hundreds of transactions per second, selling and buying at optimal times.
I actually think this would work. Bots are not prone to irrational behavior and would operate in a structured process.

It's not that difficult. A researchish kinda guy would think of possible correlations there are in the market place.e.g. If the price of oil goes up yesterday, 6/10 times XYZ company goes up today and this has been true for the last 2 years.
So, he just makes a program saying if the price increase of oil was over .5% yesterday, buy, XYZ and sell at this time or when X happens.
There are also times where it happens in miliseconds. e.g. For some reason whenever Yen goes up whenever USD goes down, so,...

This means I don't have to pay the balance since the card was not valid, right?
You're an intelligent bastard, you know that?

Thank you kind sir
>>1275382
No, you still have to pay it.
Have you noticed that every job these days is either menial shit (done by dumb betas), technical and underpaid and overworked (booksmart betas), or relationship based and social skills requiring and bullshitty ( women and alpha males)?
It's so disappointing when I meet guys like that comic. So many guys think exactly like that. Literally:
>I can't wait to get sloppy seconds, provide for her while she withholds sex, and then get cheated on
>I sure showed the alphas
Being in electrical engineering (graduating in two weeks, thank god) I see this mentality every fucking day.
God damn I hate betas.

Who here burned out?
I went to a BBQ with some college friends today and I hardly had the energy to make a conversation.
Just sad that on my weekends I'm so drained, I don't even know how to have fun anymore.
its called alcohol and other drugs
le drained sheeple. work less and start abusing alcohol
Sounds like you are ready to graduate to hard drugs anon! The end-game is getting addicted to opiates ofcourse, but we need to work our way up to that. Start out by smoking joints in the restroom, but don't worry, you will be doing rails of coke off a hookers ass in no time! Before you know it you will hit rock bottom and want to off yourself.
Alternatively you can work on your real problems and more than likely depression. Maybe even see a shrink, but it's kind of like cheating to not go all trainspotting first. Skippings steps and all.
Chinese are buying up Bitcoin because their currency has been devalued again. At the same time the Bitcoin Halving is about 5 weeks away. It's Memorial day weekend in the USA so US mainstream media has not mentioned the story.

Even though the yuan is now back by gold.
But okay.
>>1275843
Gold is useless. Bitcoin is the ultimate way to store money out of the system and move it anywhere you want.

Yes and when the NSA is done building their qe, good luck moving them.

I've been living under a rock (but I've bought 9k TRUMPS for 1 BTC).
Why will TRUMP rise this Thurs/Fri?

Short it, bros. Look at those orders for fuck's sake. Buy back in ~$328 USD

LET'S BURN THIS FORSAKEN CURRENCY TO THE GROUND
The problem is that the halving in 5 weeks is making idiots buy in now, thinking there'll be more upswing on that date. The halving is already worked into the current price though, as its a secret to no one.
When the halving comes up, the price will nosedive. Miners now need to sell twice as many coins to turn a profit while half as many come in, and panic selling will become the new life of the coin as all who bought in over 500 usd scream out as the day after the halving sees btc drop by 25% minimum.
Screencap this thread: BTC will be sub-300 by August.
>>1275307
The effects of only 12.5 btc per block reward instead of 25 have not materialized yet because the rewards haven't actually gone down. However, the price may very well be lower than what it is now come halving.
''The halving is already priced in'' just doesn't hold true
Hey guys, I really need some help here. It's sort of /biz/ related, but I guess it's self improvement related too. I'll skip the sob story stuff but basically, I'm 18 and I'm very worried about my future financially. I fucked up real bad in High School, I got an abysmal GPA because I was a druggie and very angsty due to stuff happening at home. This last year I've been going through some periods of self reflection and I've realized I've been pissing my life down the drain.
My options for my future are community college (I live in...

Basically
1) What should someone in the US do, financial-wise, once he or she is 18? What should I focus on? what should I avoid?
2) I can have my parents finance my community college, but from then I'm on my own. I assume going to college for politics or history is a waste when my family does not have money, is IT a viable option? I'm 'tech-savvy' compared to others just only to the point of knowing my way around my OS and being able to torrent,
3)I feel overwhelmed right now thinking about all this. I don't really have the best...

sounds like you need direction. I'm biased but trade school has been good to me because you actually learn how to fix or build shit on a daily basis. Typically the bar isn't too high to get into them either, as long as there's demand. It's good for other reasons too.
you're also really young and good cashflow is important if you want to make your money work for you eventually. you can have a journeyman ticket at 22 and then go to school if you want to. nice path into engineering/business/marketing
Why are rents skyrocketing if wages have been stagnant for decades?
I literally don't understand how young people can afford to live in places like NYC or Los Angeles or Seattle anymore. They can't all be trust fund kids.
Well, it's a good question. I think not all wages have been stagnant. I know tech salaries have gone way up since even 5 years ago, especially in the tech hubs in the US.
Rents in these areas are just following what the market can support.
Plus, I think we're also seeing consequences of inflation. As we know, rents generally track inflation, so an increase there will put upward pressure on rents.
Because it cost dickloads to build new apartment buildings, and idiot wannabe kikes speculate on real estate and drive the cost up to 1000% what it's really worth.
>>1275034
Average wage is stagnant but that doesn't mean people on the higher end of the scale can't afford nice things. You're pointing out the fact that average people can't afford above average housing
what degrees will be valuable in 5, 10, 15, 20 years
what degrees will be useless in 5, 10, 15, 20 years

Aerospace engineering.
Forget about moon. This degree -> mars.
Literally.
>>1274916
>what degrees will be valuable in 5, 10, 15, 20 years
Anything technology- and engineering-related, also the usual suspects such as medicine, law maybe? etc.
>what degrees will be useless in 5, 10, 15, 20 years
Arts & Humanities majors mostly. But let's be real, they're already useless now

what about programing ?
