Hey , they have at least 3 songs!

What the f**k is the 3rd song? I can name 2

 

[Gronk]

Did the Violent Femmes play their one song?

No I didn’t go. I stood on my front porch and listened. The only reason I posted was we have Knotfest and a whole other stuff going on during the year, but I have never heard anything as loud as Korn during their set.

Hold on merkin, Violent Femmes - Hallowed Ground, is a desert island disc. One of the greatest albums ever.

I only know Add It Up because I like it.
Blister In The Sun would be the only song people are aware of.
The rest you made up

Another who doesn't know what the f**k they are talking about. Even in cryto arguments where you have been constantly owned you pick up a point in time that suits your argument.

Bitcoin​

• Inception price: $0.0008 to $0.01 (we'll use $0.01 for simplicity).
• Current price: USD$100,000.

---

Dogecoin​

• Inception price: $0.00026.
• Current price: USD$0.44.

---

Comparison​

• Bitcoin: ~10,000,000x increase since inception.
• Dogecoin: ~1,692x increase since inception.

Conclusion​

Bitcoin has risen far more than Dogecoin since their respective inceptions, both in percentage terms and absolute gains. Bitcoin's growth remains unparalleled in the cryptocurrency world.

It’s irrelevant how much an asset has grown since inception because past performance is no guarantee of future results. We can see this when we compare BTC’s growth in its first five years compared to its last five years. It’s no longer the great ‘investment’ it was and anyone buying now is missing out on the bigger gains available from more obscure shitcoins. It’s too late for them, and you’re giving them bad advice by telling them to boost your dud asset.

Mate I haven’t told you to buy bitcoin now. I told you to buy Cardano and Hbar. Did you listen? It was only a month ago. And Bitcoin is no dud, You are now just being argumentative.

World to Nick Cave: Man, your music is dark.

Violent Femmes: Hold. My. Beer.

Tell you what @Kornstar were the loudest motherf**kers I have ever heard booming from the park last night. Also the crowd between songs during their set.

View attachment 97329

first one I've just decided, f**k it, if they want my money they'll have to try harder

Korn is the only decent band in that lineup for mine and I didn't think it was worth it, a lot of others agreed, first time they have never sold out

I was getting emails and even txt messages all this week reminding me that it wasn't sold out and there were still tickets left

 

[Poupou Escobar]

@Gronk, here’s the thing: we do need people like you. Those who support charities, feed soup to the homeless, and feel good about themselves for it. You get your dose of virtue signaling, maybe after a Big Mac binge and scrolling through memes on your computer, countering realistic viewpoints, especially those of modern-day Christians like me.

I also support charities, but I do it by giving people free advice (in this case to fellow Parra supporters) to genuinely help them improve their lives. You mocked and dismissed it. But when we’re living in a cashless world with Bitcoin providing the brakes on inflation, and you’re sitting in Woollahra, sipping your chai latte, you may reminisce on the wisdom you ridiculed at every step.

So do you still advise desperate merkins hoping for big gains to buy BTC, or do you think there is better growth potential in more obscure coins? Honestly I think it might even be too late to get on DOGE. Despite its massive growth in the past three years I wouldn’t advise anyone to buy it now. The ship has sailed. Just like BTC.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

BTC is not my only holding. I have a mixed bag. I generally avoid the total shit coins.
Michael Saylor would laugh at being called a basement dwelling desperado.

He’s not the one hoping to get rich quick.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought he was talking about respective performance since Bitcoin reached 50K, not inception.

Obviously. Price since inception is only relevant for the merkins who bought back then.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It’s always respective to his argument. That’s why he chose that point in time. Besides who the f**k puts a pissy $200 into bitcoin to make a couple of hundred more. That’s what alt coins are for.

You’re the crypto bro giving shit financial advice on the internet. This from a bloke who got his initial investment stake from a compo claim after getting hit by a bus.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It seems from many of the bible verses like Jesus might have been the wokest person to walk the earth.

Yet (some) "modern Christians" like to get all uptight about anything - or more specifically, anyone - that doesn't fit their particular world view, which seems much narrower these days than Jesus's was?

Except Jesus loved poor people while the woke hate them.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Definitely way too "woke" for the modern Christian of convenience.

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God” from the Bible appears in Matthew 19:24, Luke 18:25, and Mark 10:25. The phrase is used to describe how difficult it is for a wealthy person to enter heaven.

Im an ex christian but have a pretty decent understanding of the core requirements of being a christian.
Guess its easier to talk the talk then walk the walk.

Poor people are far more likely to be religious than the rich.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If that’s seriously what you took out of Pou’s post then possibly you don’t know what the f**k you’re talking about.

ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Every asset is going through the roof now ffs. It’s a worldwide bull market. You don’t need to be a genius to make money in 2024, you just need spare cash. Where’s that bus ffs

 

[TheCrowe]

Poor people are far more likely to be religious than the rich.

Because they followed the rules and gave everything away?

 

[Avenger]

Obviously. Price since inception is only relevant for the merkins who bought back then.

Well I didn't buy in at $50K did I you silly merkin.
