What's the next virtual coin that is going to hype up like ETH did?
>>1093675
>"Virtual coin"
Lol no. Its a cryptocurrency. Very much real, not virtual. And no. ETH is bitcoin 2.0. Messing with shitcoins is like playing with toxic waste. ETH is the only game in town.
>>1093677
so it's like runescape gold but worse?
>>1093700
No it's nothing like runescape gold. Runescape gold is a virtual currency.
Ethereum is a real cryptocurrency.
Is it bad to lie on a job application? How much can I get away with before they call me out on my bullshit?
It's relevant. Do you play Dota 2?

lying is a requirement

Been doing this with a good friend since I was 19. He's 50 and always has my back. I loaned him $50 to pay off a hooker's pimp and we've been best friends ever since (I'm 22 now). He got me a $19/hour job working for a Property Management company. I...

If I move $20k from my checking to my savings account at once, in the same bank, will that trigger the feds? Would I have to fill out any paperwork?
>>1095348
Internal transfer? No, it's routine. Transferring to someone else or a different bank? That'll be some sort of signature required.
>guys can i handle my money without being arrested
LAND OF THE FREE
>>1095348
no, they already know you have 50k with that bank. you can move it around within that bank all you want.
now, if all of a sudden another 50k were to come in without good reason, this may trigger some suspicion.
Who else here tried using betting on tipsters info as an investment?
I've been trying it for the past year and found out that horse racing gets me the best results.
In the past 3 months I have doubled my starting stack ( although that wasnt big money, just something to test on)
Anyone want to share your experience or some nice tipsters?
At the moment I'm only following Hugh Taylor and /bet/'s flatanon

I hope you're trolling
There's a /bet/?

lol retard
Is Martin lossing a ton of money one of his new troll acts, or he is stupid enough to not know how to use Bitcoin? I mean if he held them he could have made a shit ton of money over the last hours, let alone if he holds long term (this summer it's going to be fun seeing the price go back to 1000).
It HAS to be a troll because he has put some really stupid comments on Twitter including how he contacted "Sitoshi".
He should just brand himself as the millennial version of trump and get into real estate/ reality tv
>>1095038
It's a troll. Shkreli isn't stupid enough to buy Bitcoin.
>>1095058
Is hating on Bitcoin in 2016 a /biz/ meme or are you guys still this retarded?
Why aren't you investing in all things related to pain-meds, end of life care and mortuary work? What other sectors are worth looking at?

I watched the fight and it was purdy good. Skipping the goo tube, that much is obvious.
I thought about funeral home biz but there looks to be aggressive cartels already in operation. I wouldn't invest in Big Pharma on principles. Investing in an old folks home is a sure bet I think, then again if a big plague comes rolling through, like Black Death 2 or whatever, old people are kill. In that case maybe general corpse cleanup or something.
This webm is amazing

Look into green cremation. And equipment suppliers.
Hey /biz/.
Post god tier watches that you can invest on.
>>1093560
Just bought one.
Gonna smash it with a hammer, throw it in a big barrel, and melt the barrel.
case is 41.5 grams of 8ct gold, paid $350 cash.
Worth $550.
>>1093563
Genius right here, gentleman.
>>1093564
Not hard to do the math.
Watch is 100+ grams
Case is 41.5 grams of 8 ct gold.
41.5 times .93 (refinery cost 7%) x spot pricw = 512.80
I'm gonna melt the fucking thing if I don't sell it for 500+

hahha what a fucking idiot
I didn't look too much at the thread, but someone a few weeks ago was asking about whether or not growing marijuana was a viable method of making money. So I have some questions; what is the threshold for making good money in terms of quantity? How much should I sell for? What are startup costs? Etc.

Literally every Corporate Finance/Investment Banking graduate is an ivy league Aryan Chad with an aesthetic profile pic.
Every one seems to come from similar backgrounds - private high school, high GPA, top ranked school, multiple internships, good looking, won numerous competitions, charity work for most of their lives, and so on.
When will it be my turn?

Yeah, jocks do finance degrees. Lucky you one upped them by getting a quantitative degree.
You did do that, right?
the whole point of LinkedIn is to suck yourself off. work on yours for a bit, take a nice profile pic, spin your accomplishments a bit, and you'll be up there with he rest of us
Hey I wanna learn about the basics of tax and legal evasion of it.
>>1094457
Anon says some form of leveraging allows you to evade tax, but it sounds risky and unlikely.
Anybody got any pointers to where I can get some good summaries of this?
>>1094770
Paying your taxes is the best way to evade the IRS dick.
Unless you are rich enough with rich enough friends to do a shell corporation boondoggle through the islands.
And you aren't, or you wouldn't care about cutting taxes because you'd be rich enough that you could own a modest home and live there for the rest of your life without a concern.
>>1094936
Nah I wanna run do a lot of expensive projects.
I'm looking for legal tax evasion, shit like hedge funds and binary options, but less meme.
I guess my only option is all inning third world shit holes, hoping my assets don't defualt, then transfering money via assets and using minimal amounts of actually currency.

how much capital do you have
can someone explain this whole kanye thing?
theres no way his net worth is -$53m. he may have a shit load of debt but that must just be his business's liabilities right? he could easily sell off enough of his shit and wind up a few million in the black right?
He said he had $53m in personal debt. He didn't say anything about what his personal net worth is, or the value of his businesses.
>>1094490
I didnt feel like researching it, but it just seems so deceitful.
Like you borrow 53 mill then buy an asset worth 53 mill while you still own it and then cry about the 53 mill debt....
if thats the case are people really falling for this?
>>1094500
Many famous people fall into the trap of letting yes-men manage their money for them. I suspect that's what has happened here. Kanye went around spending money, every time he called his finance guy to see if he could drop $10m on something he was told "yes, no problem" and the result is a huge amount of spending financed by debt.
My guess is that this happened to Kanye, and eventually he reached a level of debt where he couldn't borrow much more and his finance guy had to come clean about...

Is there much of a benefit of knowing multiple languages?
Should I be trying to leverage this somehow in interviews or would I just look like an idiot?
I know Russian and I'm also learning Spanish right now.
I imagine it would be useful for better communication internationally or maybe even in the present company but is this worth even bringing up in most cases?
Linguist here.
If you already know Russian or Spanish contacts or can think of a scenario in which acquiring some Russian or Spanish-speaking contacts will be of use to you (are you running guns, drugs, or subcontracting a garden maintenance service?) it's pretty much a waste of time. They do have good literature though.
English is the current business lingua franca so don't expect high fliers to care about other languages too much unless you're going into diplomacy or NGO work.
>>1093633
Whoops. That should be *Unless you already know...
My bad.
Funny, I know Spanish but I'm learning Russian. Beautiful language. I also admire the culture.
My next goal after Russian is Mandarin Chinese.
I feel like learning a language is great for getting to know people and developing trust.
I didn't know Russian when I went to Russia (still don't) and it would have made the trip better to know it.
When I speak Spanish I can get to know people so much better and on a deeper level.
I wanted to learn German before they became culturally enriched. Same with French. I view those languages...
