Well you can be a hard working total bald plodder and earn even more than that at the Parramatta RL club. Or you can be a total failure at your job and hang around for years on end probably on around 200k as that bald plodders assistant. The Eels really are a nice well meaning charity for the disadvantaged.
You are just jealous that they don't have to buy their golf clubs from the bargain bin.

FFS, Gentlemen, just buy some of this.​



Wait until there is a correction (meaning it goes down by about 20% or more) but get some. You will thank me in a few years time. For the record it's $0.00003985 at the time of writing. Wait until it gets to under $0.00003. Let's quote this post when BA gets boned. I have just over 53 million of them.
Godfrey (That's the term you use when you quote your own post).

My tip is it will eventually get to 0.001 by the time BA's contract is up in 2024. Let's see how I go. And if it does I'm starting my own podcast and interviewing all you bastards. I'm even wittier, live.

By the way wasn’t Hiney saying we pay our coaches too much and now you’re complaining that we get them from the bargain bin?

Can you pair get your story straight?

I don't know what Hiney was saying (I replied to you) but you and Pou are always telling us that we can't afford good coaches or players.

Am I wrong or are there some fundamentals behind the coin ?
You are not. With a real investment there is a business plan or useful real estate, in demand by people with needs other than speculating to get rich.

With all these shitcoins it is just a billion people with social media induced FOMO hoping to strike it lucky on the latest iteration of some soon-to-be-outdated tech they don't understand.

yeah this is a joke thing ...... but its one of the store of value cryptos - as opposed to tokens that have a use

re: store of value .... what the fundamentals behind gold? ..... its rare .... what else?
It's rare and beautiful and natural. Humans valued gold before money was even a thing. It can also be used in semiconductors or some shit.

Well that's a bit of revisionism there because when bitcoin became a topic, it was marketed as being an essential tool in the future of blockchain transactions and international finance will need these tokens or die. Hence the rally of popularity was promoted that the number of bitcoins was finite.

Now blockchain technology moved ahead without needing bitcoin.
The only people who can demand a certain coin be used are authoritarian governments and cybercriminals. All good blokes.

...........and has been for millennia
This is the thing. Gold is Lindy. Meanwhile nerds argue over which blockchain implementation is superior. Bitcoin could become the next Myspace or Yahoo, especially with the push for ethical investing. The push will be for coins that warm the planet less quickly than the last one.

Regulating it or making it illegal. Give me a f**king break. That one makes me laugh all the time. How do they do that? By shutting down the internet?
They can make it illegal to convert it to their currency. Even without enforcement, making things illegal has a chilling effect, and an illegal asset has less value than if it was legal. Cryptocurrency relies on marketing for value. What happens if you take that away?

When governments get corporations like Google and Apple to ban shit from their app stores the average slob on the street is unable to use it. China and Russia have both forced these companies to ban stuff from their stores. I don't think you realise how much power an authoritarian state has over the internet within its borders. The 'cloud' actually runs on physical hardware with identifiable logical address spaces. It's quite easy for them to block traffic on the devices they control. VPNs, Tor.. all this privacy tech only works where service providers allow it to work.

If hard work is the only way to get anywhere; why aren't labourers on 500k per year?

Hard work is pointless unless its pointed in the right direction.
That doesn't prove hard work isn't required, just that it's not the only thing.

Personally I think luck is also an option, and it requires zero hard work.

I don’t think I’ve ever said that. I was pushing for us to sign Bennett back in 2018 FFS.

Hard work doesn't mean physically exerting. Someone who puts in effort, time and is motivated
Yep. I've been a labourer, and for me my job stopped mattering about an hour before knock off each day. Now I'm in a physically easy job that I think about and continually prepare for all the time. I even think about future work, short and long term, and what I need to do to be useful when it arrives. It's a different type of hard work. In some ways it's harder.

I think we definitely can't afford the best staff, and we don't have the salary cap advantages that would let us fit the best players into the squad without surrounding them with reserve graders. But we have a good coach and good players. That's why we have a good team that gets good results ffs
