Nisdey : I miss him too, did he get banned or something?

Nisdey Nathyribeiro : whilst it's true that anyone will have a hard time increasing supply, there are still a great number of technical reasons why BTC isn't suitable as a reserve currency.
I've posted a big long explanation somewhere but nobody read it. But one of the big problems is somewhere in Kazakhstan.

Nisdey Nathyribeiro : I really hope it's not permanent. He's the most entertaining character on this quirky social media thing, that really seems like it doesn't belong in a trading app

Nisdey OP 大学牲希望明年上岸 : Yes, in the long term everything will cost a fortune due to hyperinflation. let's just say in the next 1 year.
1. It's vehicle lineup is aging rapidly, the cars even look dated now.
2. EV infrastructure growth is slowing down
3. EV sales are slowing down
4. Tesla still only turn a profit due to emission abatement credits sold to other automakers.
5. Self driving cars could also be ICE or Hybrid powered
6. They're already second to market with self driving, and the Tesla system is handicapped by using nothing but cameras for input. No lidar, no radar, nothing but cameras
7. Their future designs are impractical and won't really be built (I mean a BUS with no ground clearance and enclosed wheel wells, what were they thinking)
8. The robot "Optimus" is not even at the level of sophistication where the public should have even seen one. It's embarrassing. Boston Dynamics' Atlas is doing backflips carrying a tool bag, and Optimus is shuffling along like he's a patient in a nursing home.
9. Even if Tesla's Full Self Driving IA" actually worked, which it doesn't, it's extremely narrow, and the research and technology wouldn't be applicable to literally any other use case, except for driving.
10. TSLA isn't Elon Musk. he has private ventures and Space-X to rely on. as TSLA investors, you don't.

Nisdey OP 102231410 : Because for some reason, it just feels like it should have already gone bankrupt.
That eerie similarity between Elon Musk and Trever Milton,  and Elizabeth Holmes. Why is he different.
He's been promising (and SELLING) "full self driving" for nearly 15 years, and it's still not here.
What happened to all those $10,000 - $20,000 up front payment options for a computer that was "FSD Capable" on 2014 Model-S vehicles. Was it refunded, or is it technically still waiting to happen? When does that become fraud?
What about all the $250K deposits that have been paid for new Roasters?

Nisdey OP life is great : This is how people get stuck owning $MicroStrategy (MSTR.US)$ at $400 per share.

Nisdey Cat army OP : it's in the mid tens of thousands of dollars for this stock if that's what you mean by a "lot of money". This is because options are sold for 100nshares, and on this platform you're required to lock away enough money for if the option is exercised.
But you may be forgetting that you also get the contract value immediately.

Nisdey Cat army OP : You may be forgetting that you keep the credit. so if you want to "buy the dip" and you're happy with guessing "near enough" then you're being paid either for nothing, or to buy low.
all this assumes your buying options that mature sufficiently into the future for it not to just be a leveraged buy.

Nisdey Cat army OP : that Escape Goat is right though. you can't really learn options in the comments section.
just one tip. that "percentage chance of profit" thing is not in the slightest bit useful. Don't rely on it.

Nisdey Cat army OP : Is there some way I could loan it to you at an extortionate rate of interest? That way you can sell puts, and regardless of the outcome, you still need to pay me.... Muahahaha

Nisdey : Leave poor old Musky Husky alone, hitching his wagon to Trump's campaign was the only way to give $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ investors who had bought at previous highs a way out.
For a month or so, TSLA was just a placeholder stock much like DJT during the presidential election.
There was a point in time where its market cap was like 22 billion. Fun for day traders, and I hope nobody thought that these prices were remotely sustainable.
On the plus side, you can still make it back on one of the leveraged Short ETFs. but there's not much room until the correction is over

Nisdey OP 103729182 : Thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
I'm not completely new to trading, however I did not thoroughly research $MicroStrategy (MSTR.US)$ and interpreted people's statements about it being "leveraged BTC" too literally, without realising it's actually just a scam being perpetrated by Michael Saylor, and I was one of the first people to lose to it.
If you have a look at it's price graph over the last month, there is a whole mountain of capital under there which has "disappeared" from the stock market. wonder where it is. cause BTC is just as valuable as it was then.

Nisdey I Love Lunox OP : So for anyone not familiar with crypto scams and rug-pulls, this is the part where the operator of the scheme doesn't make good on his promises and abscondes with all your money.

Nisdey OP broke ask : with the benefit of hindsight, unfortunately all the HODLing in the world wouldn't have been worth it.
It's not yet recovered those losses, and I would have had a boatload of capital tied up in something that to this day has continued to depreciate. I did the grown up thing and cut my losses, then stayed the fu*k away from this stupid stock and anything related to it.
Instead I bought shares in a hard drive manufacturer that people mistook for a quantum computing outfit and doubled my money in 2 days.

Nisdey : We all remember what happened to the last thing that used an XBOX controller instead of traditional controls, right?

Nisdey Cat army : isn't that beneficial if you sell a new put option?
