- Eh, to be fair, we also have an actual word for toes in French:
Les orteils.Continuity - To be fairer, the french also call egg nog ‘chicken milk’Gnash

The More You Know ★
I had no idea.
Apparently Italy annexed most of the Balearics for three years prior to World War 2.
- No need to be a history buff to see this was a cunt move:

- Well, that's as much our fault, but I think the Italians were expecting much more land beyond Trieste as a reward for their involvement in WW1Nairn

Bitcoin
“Bitcoin essentially tracks the market. It’s about the same as investing in SP500”.
I’ve heard this lately from a few people... even financial advisors on TikTok. It’s starting to catch on. Maybe because both are at all-time highs? But it’s not even close to true. Don’t listen to these fools.
Let’s compare:
Past 3 months —
S&P: +12%
BTC: +39%Past 6 months —
S&P: +15%
BTC: +35%Past year —
S&P: +38%
BTC: +121%Past 2 years —
S&P: +60%
BTC: +382%Past 5 years —
S&P: +94%
BTC: +857%I’m not telling you to buy bitcoin. Crypto is super high risk and has no underlying value. It’s pure speculation.
All I’m saying is: most people are parrots. They repeat what they heard or read because it feels true or because they assume the person who told them seemed knowledgeable.

- people parrot a lot of things when it comes to btc. this thread a prime exampleinteliboy
- "financial advisors on TikTok" lolskinny_puppy
- i rather invest in SP500milfhunter
- I'd rather invest in SPF50.
Health is wealth.palimpsest - In May I bought some of both. S&P winning.monospaced
- Certainly don't buy Bitcoin now. It's at an ATH!microkorg
- S&P also at all time high and I would recommend buying it. Therein lies the difference.monospaced
- Kewl Ponzi Schemeutopian
- sp companies has assets bound in btc?ArchitectofFate
- I used to love going to the racetrack with my grandfather when I was a kidGnash
- LOL tracking the moves, not the percentages
and both tracking monetary policy and other indicators of bull/bear marketsgrafician - and ofc with bitcoin being too risky for long term folios
Imagine Sp500 going to 6900 just because traders like the number 69 or 4200 whatevergrafician - These numbers are already off a bit. Depends on day and even time of day boughtnb
- But IN NO WAY does it “track” the broader marketnb
- what can I tell you...
https://www.coindesk…grafician - https://www.blockcha…grafician
- Grafician, ignoring opportunity cost is a dumb way to think about investing.nb
- “They both went up” lulznb
- < also offtopic but have you noticed even the percentages go up by 3-6-9 times :))grafician
- buying bitcoin is not investing, is gamblinggrafician
- but sure follow tik tokers for more "investing" tips and tricks :)))grafician
- I’m not taking advice from TikTok obviouslynb
- I said I heard this false statement on TikToknb
- Which is not false as I gave you more well known info. But sure, agree to disagree if you need, no problemagrafician
- Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.nb
- K so you agree with the TikToks. Got it.nb
- No, I agree with common knowledge in the field. It's you who mentioned tiktoksgrafician
- also tracking means it tracks the moves, correlation, I gave you also charts while you gave percentages?!
It's fine I don't expect designers to know tradinggrafician - I’m a VTI and chill kinda guy.kaiyohtee
- Samenb
- graf, what’s your personal cost basis for your S&P index investment?monospaced
- And/or bitcoin?monospaced
- 1. You're a designer
2. You know trading
Pick one.palimpsest - lolmonospaced
- well, I've been trading casually for 25 years, and also been a designer the whole timemonospaced
- Look at you, bigshot.
;-)palimpsest - To be clear, Bitcoin, trading and horse betting are all speculation to me. To each their own. It doesn't mean you can't partake in design at the same time.palimpsest
- I understand how you see it that way, but there are low-risk trades that are proven (to an extent) which negates a bit of the speculation.monospaced
- That's basically how we define things, by setting limits. For you, the limit of speculation is your certain certainty.palimpsest
- Investment is about value creation, I can invest in cancer research.
Speculation is about value extraction.palimpsest - I'm just not going to write it all off as speculation and use that as a reason to not get involved at all :)monospaced
- Fair enough.palimpsest

- Thought this was Tom cruisenb
- No, that's John Goodman.
Good god, man!Projectile - I saw this movie, I don’t remember Tom Goodman being in itnb
