Hahaha, no matter how rich or smart you seem, you can still be a weak hand - emphasis mine:

Quote
Son, who made the remarks at The New York Times DealBook conference, said he was told by a friend to invest "1% of his personal assets" into bitcoin, meaning he invested "about 200 million." After investing the money, Son said he would spend about five minutes each day looking at bitcoin prices fluctuate.

While speaking with host Andrew Ross Sorkin, Son said he found the investment to be "distracting [his] own focus on [his] own business."

Son quickly grew tired of checking the price of bitcoin every day.

This reoccurring distraction from checking prices every day led Son to sell his stake in bitcoin, and he estimates that he lost around $50 million. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Son lost closer to $130 million when he sold his stake in 2018, citing sources who are familiar with the matter.

"I feel so much better," Son said of exiting the cryptocurrency.

I can understand the feeling to some extent, although 1% wouldn't distract me, even if that was such a huge amount. But two things don't add up : Son makes plenty of risky investments, in fact he has probably lost many billions, so why care about a 200M investment ? And the other, selling when you have already lost 2 thirds is really dumb : not much left to lose, while it can always go back up...which it's doing.

How did he ever get to be worth 20 billion?

If I were the board I would remove him from the company. It is obvious he has emotional issues and can't be trusted to invest.

1% of your wealth is nothing.  It is a pure hodl move.  He never need to look a single time at his coin.

BTW if you read the article it appears he purchased at 20 k in 2017 and sold at 7k in  2018.

Blackrock's CIO of Global Fixed Income talking about Bitcoin replacing gold on CNBC today:

Quote
I think Bitcoin is here to stay [...]. Do I think that it is durable mechanism that will take the place of gold to a large extent? Yes I do, because it's so much more functional than passing a bar of gold around

You are far away from Queen Cleopatra.  Did laszlo’s epic meal exceed hers?  At this point, I am not sure.

It reminds me of that time that Cleopatra bet Mark Anthony that she could consume one meal worth ten million (silver) coins—then, won her bet by dissolving the world’s largest pearl in vinegar, and drinking it.

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.

Hah, the rapper Logic just bought $6m in Bitcoin:

Quote
The recently retired rapper took to his Stories to brag about his latest money move before concluding his video with some reassuring statements, like "Fuck it" and "YOLO." Logic has changed the name on his Twitter account to Bobby Bitcoin, which incorporates his new business venture with a reference to his alias Bobby Tarantino.

Nah, it has to be STFA (say the fuck all) Monday.

Technically, it is “stfu nothing” over fuck-all Monday.  ;-)

* nullius ist Keinen ü b e r Allem.

 Hail Aphrodite!  This adds new meaning to the F in “STFU”:



My fellow Grammar Nazis, STFU.  It is intended to be a meta-pun—and I have always wanted to use her in the dative!  Also, I believe that it is correct insofar as μετᾰ has a sense governing the dative, which perfectly conveys my intended meaning.  If I be mistaken, would any pedants care to correct me?

Modified appropriately:
Therefore, as 🏆 Wordy-Man Supreme, it is perfectly proper for me to express my pleasure at the opportunity to have gay intercourse (in every sense) with τὴν on the Wall, before an audience of observers.  extremely red-blooded #nohomo


Ah, those ignore lists:

The principal purpose of the fence is to keep you out:


The actual fence is much higher,
and it works both ways.

That is a statute of the most famous ancient Greek ἑταίρᾱν, the cultural equivalent of a classical gaṇikā.
