They're already nearly back at the SRPs AFAIK. Can't imagine them going lower than that unless the PC gaming market collapses.
I'm reading that OBJ's contract he signed with the Rams was for $750,000 paid in BTC. That amount was obviously taxed federally and by state (CA). Long story short, the amount of money he made for that contract is, wait for it …
-$7,700.
But he won a ring and got injured. So I don't know. You tell me Era, would you take a salary of -$8,000 and an injury to be a Super Bowl winner?
-$7,700.

From what I understand, yes. His fucking salary from last season is underwater lol. His SALARY.
Wow now that was not a smart move. Did he not have anyone to tell him that was a terrible idea?
its the sort of investment that makes sense to a 21 year old, so give them a break
wait, he's nearly 30?
WOOF
this can't be real, there needs to be some kind of financial subjects in school, damn
To be fair, professional athletes have historically been thrown into contracts with zero financial advice whatsoever. It's the primary subject of the documentary Broke. That said, in the modern sports market and with OBJ being 30, it's one of those ones we can all feel comfortable laughing our asses off about.
Doesn't he get taxed on that $750,000 as well? It isn't like the feds are going to not tax his salary.
I believe that's why he's in the negative, as he is taxed against the value of bitcoin from the start of the contract rather than current.
Where are you reading this? I can't really make the math work, like how is it possibly -$7700? Maybe I'm just stupid. BTC isn't doing THAT terribly. It's still where it was last year even after all this crypto crash stuff. Even if he bought in at the top it wouldn't be worth -$7700 right now???
Edit:
Forgot about the tax… damn
You can get Nvidia cards almost near MSRP again. It's kind of happened already. Nvidia is generally pretty good about heading off extra reserves in the market so they don't cannibalize their next gen sales. So when the 4 comes out there's usually a short window and they're not that much cheaper usually.
It was kind of just for show anyway since the Browns were still on the hook for paying him millions last season.
User Banned (2 Weeks): Trolling, crypto shilling
Jesus, Fat4All spittin' tha truce, fired dem shots but honestly, that hurt! I don't think someone should generalize all that like you did again. And I thought you're a sweet Era-doggi and I like a lot of stuff you write. But I'm going to be honestly replying now (even though you didn't ask, heh).
The stuff about "phrases" - people everywhere have their exclusive terms and phrases. In gaming, at work, music… but ok, because it's "crypto" and we're fucking nerds (you really wanna do that? At a gaming board?), it's not ok anymore. You sure it's ok to call that strange? You wanna do what now? Discriminate certain people? That do stuff just like others? Fine…
Constant drive for positivity - related to what? Investing in something you believe? People of course hope that their investments in projects become more valuable. It's the same with stocks here - so why is it bad to sometimes hope to invest in the right stuff? (This is my part about the market, so that I'm not derailing)
Forceful pushback of criticism, I'm pretty sure that's not true either. Who does that? People here on the board? I don't remember anyone doing that here. Or at least from no one that is "still" here. Even when criticism about energy consumption arises every year, a lot of us agree on that problem and refer to projects that do it way better than BTC for example. And I still do too! I despise everything revolving this topic and hope it gets better!
Calling people "cult leaders" - well, in music, if you like what the artist is doing, you'd also call that person a "cult leader"? Disculpe, but I'm not sure if you want to just make a difference here again because it's "crypto". Plus, there are really nice and decent people around. The founder of ETH for example - you'd call him a cult leader? By his looks? By what he does? Don't throw everything into the same (crypto) bin here again, please. Plus, he's someone very open to criticism and wants to have changes on Ethereum because of it. He's also philantrophic and spent a lot of money to charity already. Don't always focus on the negative parts!
Lastly, Elon Musk. Uff! You're sure? That all dem "crypto bruhs" like him? I'd say it's the complete opposite. A lot of Dogecoin followers like him maybe, but the sole reason would be his constant shilling of the coin. But I'm sure Elon would like you on this board because you're a doggo 🐕! Would you like that he likes you? Nah.
But you see, just because he would be an Era member doesn't mean other members here like you. It's the same with crypto - some like him, some don't, duh!
My 2 cents about it. You generalize and I really dislike that. I think at Era, you shouldn't generalize people like that?
I thought you're a nice doggo! 🐶
In general - can't ya'll just be more kind? Is it too much to ask? You don't even need to buy crypto, nobody forces you to do it. But y'all still write shit about people doing it. It's hilarious 🤡🫠
Plus you're all derailing the thread with your "crypto bros are shite" posts. It's about the market. I hope it's getting closed soon. No hope for crypto threads anywhere here besides the OT, but I forgot - nobody wants "us" on Era anyways 🤷🏻♂️
Pro-Tip. If you don't want to sound like a cult, you should avoid sounding like a cult.
Im.....on the edge if this is actually a bait or not. It has to be bait right, there is no way someone would type like this.
Ain't no way this is a real post.
Edit: Did some light digging. Oh no. Oh god no lol. It's legit.
I just participate in the crypto market because I want to make money.
A quick look at their posting history answers this pretty quick
It's the avatar. People just assume that you're a sweet innocent pupper because that's the image you use online. Replace it with a pitbull or Pitbull or something.
Nope, no bait. And for everyone else asking too - I type like that. But please back to topic 😉
Plus, I should change my settings. People now looking through my posts to see if real - can't dig that!
Didn't say everyone thinks that *typing this while slowly leaving the thread as you wished for*
Then leave before you encourage more people to help burn down the planet
Nobody has been sarcastic on the internet since LUE(proto-4chan) was a thing, the only exceptions are a few Nathan For You like folks
Protip. People can still easily find your posts unless you entirely delete your account. They can still find them, its just a bit harder.
How dare you paper hands accuse crypto of being a cult, stop spreading FUD, and try to be a Diamond Hands instead. Not only am I keeping my Luna Coins, but I just put my entire life savings into Luna. Once Luna shoots TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON and finally make me rich I am going to laugh at you from my new mansion.
You know what I am going to once I get rich? I am going to buy one of those 60 plots in Crytoland where I can talk about Crypto with all my cryptolovers and visit the BitConnect Memorial Pyramid honoring Bitconnect because I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE BITCONNECT! I will also crush on Cryptokiddies.....
What do you mean its CryptoKitties and not Cryptokiddies? Where's the fun in that?
Ah screw the whole thing
