It's a little humid. A dog barked three times in LA. Some serious event of sorts I'm sure.

$LA check into this coin, DYOR It’s already proofed GPT-2. And is using proofs trading now Also Here’s how provable trade signals work: 1. Market data flows into an trading desk AI model 2. A trade recommendation is generated 3. DeepProve verifies the model, data, and output 4. The provable result routes to execution, instantly

The specific amount needed is also very generic. It highly depends on where you live, expenses, age etc. A random dude in LA would need A LOT more than some dirt poor kid living in a third world country.

Cryptocurrency is often times referred to as the Wild West but the Wild West became California. Every new emerging technology that disrupts the status quo faces opposition in its infancy stages. They said Ben Franklin tested the Almighty when he called the lightening down from the sky. Western union told Alexander Bell that the telephone would be useless. The audience laughed at Bill Gates as he introduced the concept of the internet. My favorite one of all is crypto is a scam and it’s all going to zero. News flash the BTC white paper is in the Oval Office. Union Station, lower manhattan, crypto.com arena LA your seeing more and more exposure globally. Crypto isn’t a scam the dollar is the banking system is 250k FDIC what a joke. What custody do you have. Where are your rights go withdraw 10001 dollars tomorrow tell me how it goes.

VonDingwell

Around 2022 a coworker showed me the email chain where he, I and another were going to fly to LA in 2010 and buy Bitcoin. He was adamant about its future. There was no way in Canada to buy really at that time. The other backed out, I didn't really know the guy well at the time and didn't want to fly to LA with someone I barely knew. I try not to dwell on it. I also had a nice nest egg going in Quadriga CX. That hurts too.

New_Breadfruit_0419

If you are buying with dollars/cash/ bank account then I would start with Kraken. They seem to be the most honest exchange. You can also buy BTC from people directly. Wallet to wallet. Give cash and then they send you BTC on the spot. That how I made my very first buy. If you are in LA I can show you in person. $25 exchange. Cash to BTC. Perfectly legal.

Seeing people in LA having their house burnt down during those big fires and insurance not covering it and just now in Texas with the floods people didn’t have flood insurance because the threat of floods in that area was very low has turned me off of buying a house. All that investment could just be destroyed in a day with nothing to show for it. BTC seems like the safer investment which is something I’d never thought I’d say in the past.

Disastrous_Fee5953

People have a short memory. BTC was already 110K in June during the LA protests.

rose___water

LA here. Same story.

henndogg_photo

haha I was specifically thinking of LA - when cars get torched and stores get looted it goes beyond a protest. That being said, a lot of the demonstrations in other cities were peaceful protests.

CryptoAnarchyst

You can always tell an idiot, just can’t tell them much… Interesting fact, protests turned contentious when masked, unidentified, armed, warrantless, and hostile individuals claiming to be ICE started illegally detaining over a 1,000 US citizens… not sure if you give a Fuck about 4th , 5th, and 9th amendments but I sure do and apparently so do citizens of LA. Funny how you abdicated your morals as soon as you joined the cult… a decade ago a thought of military action in US cities would have thrown any Republican into panic… now you give Daddy Trump all the things you swore you’d resist. What a pathetic excuse for a human existence

jonawill05

Should i look at the ones telling me about the peaceful protests on LA?

curtybe

I do a tank a week bro, Easily. Maybe more if I go surfing. We all work (unless your an illegal immi’ Most people do a tank per week I’d say. tradesmen, deliveries etc. & 2-3 car per house. Roads are crowded here. (Just not LA crowded) We got the most expensive household bills in the world. I’d like to live in USA. You got so much country to utilise. What state do you live in?

Loomslee

The propaganda against Trump was eye opening. But if you actually measure dems and their cities, san fean ,LA, Portland, Chicago, NYC, Detroit... all pretty much expensive crime ridden shitholes. Trump has performed way better than Biden or Obama. I do believe he loves this country. No one would go through that mess he went through as a billionaire. Why deal with that? The blinding hatred is completely media driven.

FollowAstacio

He HAS money. What he doesn’t have is Cashflow. He has negative Cashflow. I agree 100% he needs to solve it, but depending on where you live, 200k liquid buys you some time. If you’re in NY or LA it buys alot less time than Detroit, but it’s not a priority.

South-Attorney-5209

It literally is an official duty of the commander and chief to approve operations like that. It was thought that it is not allowed for the military to conduct operations on US soil, but that is also out the window now that marines are on the streets of LA and the courts are allowing it. It does not take any stretch of imagination to see how this is a huge issue.

Hefty-Employee-4246

yeah im happy with that... as EUrozone citizen i have 10% discount in US , flying to LA on Friday :\* Trump

makeitrain92

People endorsing cold storages are still living in the past. As long as you follow best practices and do not click on stupid links, your coins in reputed exchange like Coinbase will be fine. There is a higher probability of you losing your coins by forgetting/losing your access keys. Recent wildfires in LA being an example where people spent so much money to get their access keys etched on metal plates, only to be burned down by fires.

So much red tape to cut through and local, state, and fed just point fingers at who’s to blame when really there’s too many hoops to jump to build a shed in the backyard. Also lots of NIMBY mentality. Local councils are reluctant to approve homes. They sit through numerous panels including public notifications. The community rejects big projects in fear of their own property price falling due to increase in housing supply in their town. In the US, population growth is high but homes get built fast enough and popularity of fast building projects using prefab homes. The exception is in major cities like New York, San Francisco, or downtown LA where the issue is land scarcity. You can buy a 4bd 2 bth on a half acre block in Eureka CA near the coast for AUD 750k/USD 490k. It would be pretty hard to find any 4bd 2bth half acre block home on the East coast of AUS for 750k especially in NSW. A similar home in Bundaberg East cost AUD 1M+ for a 1/4 acre. Not that Bundaberg is an overpopulated regional town. Average build time in NSW is 10 months but that’s just the build. It takes 6 months to process the development application. Lots of counties in CA have centralised and digitised pre-approval system. They also use lots of prefab or modular homes and 3d printed that are mass produced on a large subdivision, rapidly increasing housing supply to a population of 39 million Californians. Australia’s whole population is 27 million. The tax incentives also make it hard for first home owners to get into the market. Victoria is doing something about this by changing land tax which led to thousands of investment properties being sold and bought by first home owners. Fiat might contribute but it’s not the major reason for the housing crisis, it’s too much regulation from people that want it that way to benefit their own agenda to prop market value of homes backed by heavy and lengthy mortgages. Regulations haven’t changed to be in line with modern issues.

ExplanationTop7533

Another perspective is value of homes in Australia is due to lack of supply compared to demand. Homes aren’t built fast enough due to councils role in building approvals. So much red tape to cut through and local, state, and fed just point fingers at who’s to blame when really there’s too many hoops to jump to build a shed in the backyard. Also lots of NIMBY mentality. In the US, population growth is high but homes get built fast enough and popularity of fast building projects using prefab homes.

The XRP reddit Mods suck - same with the Bitcoin Reddit mods... so many people get banned from both 'communites' ... however people go to the Ripple Reddit, and the BTC reddit instead LOL - so much better! 🤣 the XRP LA conference had good vibes though - there are a lot of great people across a lot of crypto spaces outside of Reddittt - Reddit and X are not a good picture of the actual community - I am in a fb chat with a few friends who all follow crypto... good vibes, good little cross section of different friend groups and their connections... there are also a lot of people opperating in bad faith or pushing false narratives / expectations (in both positive and negative news) ...

I’m only new too. My work place has around 12 people, in the past 2 weeks I have 4 referrals. But I am not greedy. I got 2 and then let them refer another person each. Great place Kentucky home of bourbon, my favourite drink. I crossed over from Nashville in 2023. Went to corvette assembly plant. My dream in BTC is buy one. Probably should put my order in now. By the time it’s ready, my investment will be there. They have a long order book especially for us fellows that drive on the wrong side of the road. Believe me when I say I did lots of that on my 3 week trip to USA. TN was pretty cool, but LA freeways were crazy scary, I survived though.

Flat4Power4Life

As long as the dollar exists they will keep nuking the value of it, it’s simple economics. If Porsche decided to flood the market with 1 million brand new 911’s tomorrow it would destroy their new car and used car market overnight. Somehow the Fed does this with impunity time and time again, now we have $100 million dollar monstrosity homes in LA so the rich can have something to protect themselves from the gross devaluation of the dollar that’s occurring. When the bottom drops out even those won’t be a safe haven to protect their wealth. Everything about the US economy right now is beyond fucked on so many different levels.

I’m leading towards etf’s too. There’s a lot of butt hurt here to say anything other than ‘not your keys, not your coin,’ but for many this is just the simpler way to actually have exposure to btc that is in your name. Life happens, and if you are in an accident or worse, how can you access your btc if your not in a position to both remember your pass phrase, and then action it and exchange for fiat? I wonder how much btc has been lost in the LA fires recently? ETF’s aren’t perfect, but it’s an option that provides access for the average citizen that wants exposure.

It's because they all hired the same fame strategist Sheeraz Hasan What makes Logan truly evil is: 1) Japanese police said the dead body was fake & the incident was a staged prank 2) YouTube knew it was fake, manually put the video on trending & punished people who criticized Logan 3) Logan hired Kim Kardashian's Fame strategist Sheeraz Hasan who is known for faking controversies to make people famous from hate, the Japan incident was a staged Hollywood publicity stunt designed to make Logan super famous. 4) Sheeraz owns LA paparazzi which is why Logan was posing for paparazzi, appearing on the news & doing preplanned paparazzi interviews during the incident. They were aggressively pushing his name & controversy to the entire world 5) Anybody who exposed the Japan incident as fake had their channels striked & videos removed for up to 5 years after the incident, including tiny channels with small followings 6) At the time of Logan's Japan incident, YouTube released their own YouTube Originals show called "Do You Want To See a Dead Body?"..

As a dutch guy I find it so annoying that people always say “Europe isn’t a country”, for Americans it’s just not relevant to say the specific country. It’s almost the same as saying america instead of LA or NYC. Everyone knows Europe isn’t a country it’s just easier to refer to.

A big problem with real estate is that while it goes up on average, *your* real estate may go down any moment. Ask the people in LA. On top of that you have to pour half your free time into maintaining it, or it will go down too.

I was just scammed by Wisdom Futures. Contacted by a woman from LA that made up her name (Minnie Lee). They offered me a job with a startup for crypto derivatives. Then I had to undergo a training every time a "training node" opened. I had to invest and lost 5k. However, the real scam came when they asked for 43k upfront so I could withdraw my funds. I am really trying to put victims together so someone hears us out, please DM me. Also, in LinkedIn you will find professor Gary Werner, he works in intelligence and his goal is to take out these websites. Just for Wisdom Futures he has already taken down over 1690 websites in the past 2 months. All scams. Thing is law enforcement is not acting on it (Gary is pretty sure that all of this is tied to organized crime in Myanmar and China), apparently there would be no assets to recover. However, I really believe that at least one of the scammers is in the US and would love to take her down. DM me please.

Worried-Low4580

WTH did I just read…. What does mechanized agriculture and increasing farmer productivity have to do with ensuring that their voices aren’t drowned out by city sentiment? You acknowledge yourself of the greater population that LA has over entire states. Do you think that LAs vote should outweigh the sentiment of entire states? Guess you’re of the opinion that only US cities should determine who becomes President. Would save a ton of money campaigning, only need to visit the coastal areas!

asuds

That’s sort of one of the reasons for the electro college, among others. However, the rise of mechanized agriculture has dramatically, changed the population distribution in the country. Something that wasn’t “built in” to some genius electoral college planning. The states with the most outside power as a result didn’t even exist when that system was being designed, and the population was much more evenly distributed. red/blue by population: https://guides.libraries.indiana.edu/c.php?g=1024502&p=7421466 Let’s not forget that LA city alone has more citizens than Wyoming, both Dakotas, and Montana combined. And expanding to LA county is three times that. Farm work that used to take 100 people now takes one etc.

For fucks sake bro! Sell a small amount and go to Thailand and get a young hottie and enjoy life for a minute. The women there are friendly and feminine and not aggressive. It could be any other country but certainly not North America. Don’t spend it on these cheaply built houses in North America (why do I assume you live there?) rather buy a solid house built from bricks not wood. Look at LA!

I think you'll see a drop for a while, level, and then eventual rise as people get back online. t How big and how long these periods are is probably dependent on the scale of the event. There's still a demand element here, if there's no internet for anyone there's no demand. You'd need something that affects very large areas - multiple countries or a majority of a hemisphere - to trigger a serious response. It would be better to have a more detailed scenario. The LA fires were devastating but had no impact, nor did the flooding in east coast United States, I'm not sure what global impact the war in the Ukraine has had on bitcoin but I'm sure someone has looked into it and we can agree that overall, it's not stopped it.

In 2007 the bank wouldn’t give me a mortgage for a home so i started looking into why, finding centralization and control of the money created an approval system rather than fair system. Looking to alternative money and attempts at computer internet money there wasn’t one to work because double spending problem. 2010,11,12, seen small signs on internet about bitcoin ads,silk road used bitcoin. 2014 my sister was at school in nyc messaged me about bitcoin looked more into it was skepetical if it would work long term but told her i could buy 1000$ worth i think it was 300 at time. Was not easy to find ways to buy one online service required passport for identification and I didn’t have one. 2016 got passport to travel. In summer 2017 was in vegas heard lads friend quit poker to do bitcoin full time in LA. Thought this was strange but realized i had passport and when i got home revisited purchasing bitcoin. Coinbase sold me first 800$ worth of bitcoin price was about 2k. Watched the run upto 20k alot of people thought it was going to a million after that it started bear market and stopped paying attention. Months later it hit 6k and thought that it was low should buy some. Bought small amounts than soon after the bank stole, seized and shutdown my bank account for multiple reasons like audit and predatory financing of construction loan, plus claiming buying bitcoin was against their rules so i couldn’t buy more bitcoin in 2018 through bank. Atms were decent but premium cost about 16%. It isn’t always easy to get bitcoin even when wanting it. 2019 was at the cottage in muskokas when unfortunately the boat capsized and lost everything.

> NFTs were dumb, but with rugpulls, the only thing people even pretend to care about is making money.  It is obvious you didn't really play with NFTs. The same scamfluencers doing pump and dumps on retail most originated from the NFT trading era. All the "LA Vape Cabal" members were formerly in NFTs. One of their heads once even ran the DeGods NFT. NFTs were less liquid to the rug at large volumes, but the game remained the same for the old group. Tokens are a lot more liquid so it is easier for them to replicate their old NFT extraction games at a larger scale.

This is such a wide open question. What is a good life for you? For someone in Somalia, .1 Bitcoin would be life changing; but for someone in downtown LA, it might pay for 3-months rent. Is a good life living on a Yacht or being able to eat a cheese burger?

International-Arm597

Not just BTC, but there's risks to everything. You can have a great depression and stocks fall by 50%. Real estate can (and sadly was in LA) be destroyed. Gold can be stolen. The much more guaranteed risk is losing money to inflation, compared to any of the other risks, or ending up in a lawless zombie apocalypse. You absolutely need to own assets. Everyone just has different preferences for what's best.

rhazux

Others have covered several topics but I haven't seen anyone cover this. It seems like OP is in Canada and I don't know how it works there, but in the US mined BTC is taxable as income. The gains will be further be taxed when you sell/trade it. And whether it's further taxed as income or capital gains will depend on how long you hold it. The fact of the matter is that the mining situations vary wildly. What makes sense for you might not make sense for someone in Los Angeles. The cost of electricity, tax policies, and being able to use the waste heat are all going to change by location. Just because you see a ton of comments about how mining is bad or not profitable, doesn't mean that's some universal truth. In statistics, what you're noticing is known as sample bias. And the bias involved here is that most people in any forum are going to come from high density population centers, which have very different financial/economic situations compared to more rural living. Or stated another way: it'd be unreasonable to assume there are as many people from LA in this sub as there are from Cheyenne, Wyoming. You're simply going to see the thoughts of people from LA, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Miami, etc. far more than people from small towns where mining conditions are more favorable.

After everything that's happened in the last 2 days - LA Rape Cabal, Argentina, Jupiter, etc - it's only going to get worse. Sell it all here, go all in Alephium.

they all belong in prison, especially the LA vape cabal children.

He doesn't need one. He has T$LA the stock.

Please quote where i said he should only buy AAPL and a house in LA. You got autism or something?

As a matter of fact, just because OP didn't ask about diversification, it doesn't make me wrong, it makes sense - whilst principally I agree with you, it would be crazy to think, based on your advice, OP would buy only BTC, APPLE, one house in LA ONLY - diversification extends both to assert clashes, AND, to assets within each class

Makes me wonder how many seed phrases were burned up in the LA fires.

I was at that club in LA when he bought 100 bottles at 1:45 am. The club closed at 2 am. It was just ridicolous.

roctac

I love how she said all the money towards the podcast will be donated to animals affected by the LA fires. Or you could just give everyone their money back.

BiteMaJobby

create a file, encrypt it and save it in the cloud. This is the best fail safe no idea why the fuck people using physical stuff you seen what happened in LA fires.

That won't do shit. Seriously. 5,000 people marching in Tulsa, or LA, or Miami, or even DC...or even 5,000 in ALL of those won't do shit. They will be ignored/arrested/disappeared.

LA vape cabal? What?

Mysterious_Ad_4658

Cant believe im even saying this but bitboy was actually better than the LA vape cabal, at least SOME info he spouted was correct. These little turds need removing from the space, ruining it with their ‘were in the trenches bro’ facade to scam innocent people
