The guy is going to run afoul of the SEC again or the IRS or some other entity before too long. Too much money, too much smarts and too much THC for it not to end up in an accident. 

As soon as he comes out and says crypto currency is just imaginary money, the game is up. A lot of folks will lose their shirts and everything else they have but he'll still have more money squirreled away than anyone could ever imagine dealing with.

Dude just needs to pay his fair share of taxes.

He's just a rich kid playing with his money. I'd like to see the list of charities he gives to so I can at least have some respect for him. His space stuff does nothing for me. He recently let Twitter decide in a vote if he should sell stock. Meanwhile in 3rd world countries ...

I can't believe it's finally happened. I agree with you on something. Gross.

I am very, very apprehensive of crypto. It seems to be being pushed MAJORLY.

News like this doesn't help me think any differently, only increases suspicion.

So how much of the entire Bitcoin pool does Tesla own now? The picture being painted to me is that millions of people have invested in crypto and it has really driven the value up. Lets say Tesla now owns anything as low as 10-25% of the stock. The rest of the stock is likely to be owned individually by very, very small percentages (like one individual person accounting for .01 percent or less). The second Tesla cashes out, everybody else is screwed.

Sure, some people may pull their tiny stock and make some money, but from what I see and hear, it doesn't seem to be the case. People seem to love seeing the massive increases in value and are not willing to just take the (fictional) $50K they made off of their (fictional) $5 investment. I remember seeing something a lot like this on the gameshow "Lets Make a Deal". Basically, just about every player fell for the exact same formula. They would be in the $100,000 range or so and instead of accepting that, they would always choose the option of doubling, tripling, etc. They always went home broke. I saw one guy, one time, refuse to take his chances and go past the $100,000. It was super boring and anti-calamitic, but you could tell the producers were really losing their minds over it.

It just seems like yet another way to get people pumped up and hand their money over to billionaires/capitalist's

The crash has begun.

And it than just the Fed tapering. All this advertising for crypto buying services isn't about making crypto stronger, it's about selling off before the big crash. Be smart, this bubble is the bubbliest one since the great Tulip collapse.

 I have noticed and ungodly amount of crypto ads being shoved in my face at every single site I go to.

Just seems so obviously fishy and forced.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
