| Forceful_Dragon 04/22/21 5:35:06 PM #495 | To expand, I pay exactly the amount i'm requesting to pay when I buy and I receive exactly the amount I'm requesting to receive when i sell. I just bought 200 DOGE tokens at .2601 It cost me $52.02 I paid a fee of 0.00008010 BNB (or 4.129956 cents based upon current BNB value) Then I set a sell order for 196 DOGE tokens at .2698 I received 52.8808 for the sale. I paid a fee of 0.00007653 BNB (or 3.9458868 cents) The net result of the exchanges is that I earned 86.06 cents, I paid around 8 cents in fees and I have 4 more DOGE tokens than I did before. But nothing about that interaction contained hidden or unexpected fees. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 04/22/21 4:40:28 PM #490 | binance.us has 0.1% fees at the highest rate. If you select to use BNB tokens to pay for fees it's reduced to 0.075% or 7.5 cents per $100. At that's at the highest rate, it goes down if you trade in higher volumes each month and keep a certain amount of BNB in your account. I'm still miles away from those reductions, but less than one tenth of one percent is a lot better than something like coinbase that was charging two full percent. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 04/22/21 10:30:18 AM #464 | Which isn't to say you aren't *allowed* to realize losses at the end of the year for tax purposes. You just aren't allowed to realize those losses and then still own the same asset. It's not the selling. It's the buying back within a designated time frame. But what you COULD do is invest into a similarly performing asset from the same sector, something you expect to respond positively and negatively to many of the same things as the asset you are taking the loss on. And so you could either just be long on the new (similar) thing or you could just be in long enough to wait out the number of days to switch back to the first thing. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 04/22/21 10:13:12 AM #462 | Scenario: -It's December and you are up 50,000 with your investments. -You don't want to pay that much in extra taxes. -You have several long term plays that you are HODLing for better days because currently they are down, maybe even a lot. -So you sell and rebuy those long term plays. Maybe you spent 100,000 on something and it was currently worth 50,000 but you're convinced it will recover. So you sell for a realized 50k loss and then buy back the exact same position. Now, on paper, you are up 0 on the year and no longer have taxes to pay on your gains. Sure, down the road you would still have to realize that gain, but for the moment you have avoided it and that's good for you and bad for uncle sam. Now you might not have been cognizant thats the impact your losses were having, because you were just trying to get out of something losing to free up your money for something else. But that's the reason you have to avoid your losses for X amount of time, because otherwise it appears to be the type of behavior designed to cheat the system. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 04/21/21 5:57:16 PM #406 | lol, there was a hearthstone inn-vitational just now with teams of popular players facing off against each other, and while they did some things right (they had a round where everyone had to include the new Nozdormu in their decks so turns were only 15 seconds long which was fun to watch) they also did some really weird things with the individual player scoring. So for the overall team score this weirdness did not have an impact. The winning team won by quite a lot. But for the individual players they added a "frenzy" mechanic, where when a player lost a round it caused them to gain bonus points for winning the following round. (or something along those lines) So two players went undefeated and finished in 3rd and 4th place individually because two players with a single loss ended up with my points. They are doing some tiebreakers now, but that's just to determine 1st and 2nd between the single-losers and to determine 3rd/4th between the undefeated players. It's so scuffed LUL Edit: I was trying to post that^ back when the board was down. Now that it's up again, blizzard has announced that the undefeated players will ALSO be getting paid out for 1st//2nd place so they more or less fixed it. Just a pretty silly situation to begin with. --- |

| Topic | Shot in the dark here, anyone help me figure out a song/artist? |
| Forceful_Dragon 04/18/21 12:42:34 AM #2 | How certain are you on those being the lyrics? With rock opera my first thought is Nightwish or something similar to them like Epica. With the Evanescence vibe there's We are the Fallen but they are kinda harder so that's not a great fit. But then it must have been a band that saw some top 40 play at some point right? Or it wouldn't be playing in a factory? Like this is just audio being played by the factory right? Like something you'd hear walking around in Wal-Mart sort of? For vocalists who are definitely popular enough that might resemble Amy Lee there's Lacey Sturm, original vocalist for Flyleaf or Lzzy Hale of Halestorm? I really enjoy that Rock Opera sound (Kamelot's album Epica is among my most played), but I'm sorry to say I can't think of anything fitting those 3 words, but I hope my musings help in some way. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 04/18/21 12:27:18 AM #390 | There was a major sell-off on a variety of crypto's about an hour ago at around 8:30 - 8:40 PM PST. You can see the same pattern dip at that time on a ton of different tokens and followed by a varied level of recovery. VET For example fell from .2078 to .1620 or about 22% during that 10 minute span. Now personally I had some buy orders set on a few tokens that I keep quite a bit below the current trading price hoping to capitalize on a sudden dip/recovery, but unfortunately my targets were just a bit too low across the board so none of them triggered. I had a buy order on VET at .1601 so that one was a particularly narrow miss because I'm sure there wasn't a lot of volume parked between .1619 and .1602. But I've no idea what caused such a synchronized event across so many tokens. And while some are at their pre dip levels already others are still 10% down. --- |

| Topic | Ninja is about to be dethroned (most concurrent twitch subscribers) [Ludwig] |
| Forceful_Dragon 04/13/21 5:44:51 PM #8 | When you subscribe to someone you pay $5/month to be their subscriber. After the month your subscription ends unless you renew it. If you have Amazon Prime you can link your twitch account to your amazon account and you get 1 free Prime sub available each month. The addition of the Prime subs did a lot for twitch streamers who can get a lot of extra subscribers courtesy of amazon. Additionally it is now possible to "Gift" a sub to someone else so you pay $5 for 1 month of subscription to someone else. Ninja lost a significant part of his subscribers because after he set the record he signed a deal with Microsoft to stream exclusively on their new platform "Mixer" which is a platform that didn't last. He's back on twitch now, but the lightning in a bottle he captures in 2018 is gone. His previous record number came from a convergence of several factors not the least of which was the fact that Fortnite was at the peak of it's popularity, and he was the top Fortnite streamer. And the night he sit the number and he had a collab stream with Drake which turned a lot of new eyes his way. That's why until Ludwig's month-long-sub-a-thon no one had even reached HALF the level of concurrent subscribers as Ninja's 2018 mark. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 04/13/21 4:06:09 PM #1 | https://twitchtracker.com/subscribers/all-time Ninja still has a narrow edge from his record established in April 2018 (before he left twitch) Ludwig currently sits at 265k (it'll be higher by the time i'm done with this post). Ludwig started streaming 31 days ago. I believe he started with 12 hours on the clock for a sub-a-thon with an additional 10 seconds being added to the clock for each additional subscriber. He was expecting to maybe have to endure a 24 hour stream and then call it there, instead he has had to turn his entirely life upside down for a month. For the first few days when he went to sleep (he's been sleeping in a race car bed visible on the stream which still continues) he would wake up with MORE time on the clock than when he went to bed. While Lud sleeps his mods are able to take over the stream remotely and keep the hype going around the clock. After it became clear that this could go on indefinitely he set a cap of 31 days (which is today) for the stream to last, provided the clock never timed out before then. And it's come close, for several days he has been at less than an hour on the clock for the entire day as subs got gifted just in the nick of time. To close the stream out and to push for the record Ludwig is donating money to charity for every sub today from 12:00 PM PST to 9:00 PM PST (so the charity began about an hour ago) up to a cap of 300,000 subs. More info about the final day charity: https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/13775/ludwig-raises-money-charity-last-day-subathon Those of you who frequent twitch are probably familiar with this story by now because it's been a month long phenomena. Just a topic to see who else has been following the event or see if anyone else is interested to be around for the final day. --- |

Disclaimer: I am not educated enough on the topic to have an informed opinion on the dangers of crypto energy consumption.
