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.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
