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.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
