LMAO Gronk: "My energy healing friend who I go to at a mineral lake has been teaching me about cryptomoney for months now"


So revoilutionary that he is shooting the segment from the passenger seat of a transport van.
Ahhh the continual ramming of idiocracy into humanity's coffin.

I am in on Gronk coin.

Celebrities who are "savvy" are literally just whoever is the biggest cartoon style brand whore. A-Rod is also paraded around the same way. Both imbeciles who appeal to imbeciles.

There has to be SOME athletes who have some valuable insight though right? I mean...I can't name any off the top of my head but still...

 

[rob mafia]

this reminds me, i started cracking up yesterday when they talked about this... and the host asked what the buyer actually got. the description was 'lines of code, a block in the (ethereum?) blockchain. ...and a .jpg)'

a fucking jpeg



regardless of whether the 'expert' misspoke or it's actually a fucking .jpg...



edit: wtf, man. pmi, bonds rising, earnings this morning... and they're talking about NFTs and ryan cohen tweets all day.

There are some smart guys in sports. Guys that I could see being saavy and maybe having something of substance to add when it comes to finance and investing.

But...Gronk???

Crazy fact, Gronk has yet to spend any of his contract money he’s made since he first entered the league. That’s why you see him whoring himself out to anyone who will pay him.

I mean that's all part of the PR Branding "wow omg Gronk is so responsible and smart really".

"not spending any of your contract money" means a few things:
-He makes a lot off sponsors
-He came from a well off family in the marketing/fitness biz and doesn't need to spend a dime on the people who built him up.
-That he literally can get anything for free/paid.

JBL the wrestler from WWE, used to be on CNBC and had a segment.
Lenny Dykstra had a segment, before he had a problem with drugs and was scamming everyone. I think Lenny is healthy now.
Those are the only two off the top of my head.

I agree with you on all of the above but it’s still pretty impressive considering most athletes have horrible financial habits. I don’t think anyone who knows Gronk thinks he’s responsible or smart lol. It’s far more likely that he surrounded himself with the right people.

there's no way dykstra said anything that was worth a damn. also, there's no way it was before he had a drug problem... he had a drug problem in/by 1990.

(no idea who jbl is)

 

[brackis1]

lulz TSLA getting sued for tweet shit according to Bloomberg.

Also Virgin Orbit going spac route. Not sure who. I'd guess AVAN SCOA or CONX

Adding:

He has someone else that he trusts in his family or their money manager or whatever handle all his finances. Obviously a lot of celebs do this, but someone like him almost HAS to have no access directly to his own $. His frat boy thing isn't an act, he's an overgrown kid. Good on him I guess for realizing his limits and not thinking he can do things he can't (assuming I'm right about someone else being in complete control of his $). Other than that...he's a giant kid with crazy athletic talent and an allowance.

JBL got fired from CNBC for being a heel in a Wrestling match, which I find funny. I mean that is what he is supposed to do, not sure who CNBC thought they were hiring. His JBL character was a rich arrogant guy from Texas. Had a great feud with Eddie Guerrero, who was either 2nd or 3rd generation Mexican wrestler and back then the WWE would ran racial angles. Eddie was a great wrestler and their feud was pretty good. JBL held the belt for a while. Also was in a tag team with Florida State great Ron Simmons, before he became the JBL character. Back then guys would play multiple characters. Have not followed him in a while but at one time was pretty good with his stock tips.

I have such Kimball Musk PTSD that I assumed it was him as soon as the white hat hit my scroll.

Oh great Patrick Mahomes starting his own digital marketplace how exciting.

lmao they introduced him on CNBC as "Superbowl cham.... uhhh....has won a superbowl. Patrick Mahomes"

 

[mkess101]

Can't wait until everything just exists in cyberspace. No actual goods or products. Just 1's and 0's. Like the plethora of (mostly) bad Hollywood movies about it (the first Matrix the obvious exception). Starts with crypto currency and digital collectibles and pretty soon we're this guy:

Im part of a SMSI research group and the pro research room that includes a lot of rich successful investors. A lot of positive chatter among some heavy hitters. This is the calm before the storm for SMSI. It closed today at the exact same as their public offering price for the Avast purchase. This is likely the floor at this point. Once this pops it will be too late. The only way I see this drop is if the entire market gets slammed or we have another large correction, but even that would be temporary. Of course anything can happen, but I like the risk reward for this stock. I wouldn't be selling 100 puts If I didn't feel SMSI was a solid quality company.

Bought in at $6.66 because it was fucking evil

Haha, I set my limit order at that price this morning. Not sure why it dropped, but not totally unexpected, although temporary. I really hope this is the false bottom. I have another limit order $6.50.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Good to see a fellow dividend man in here. I was beginning to feel like a boomer because I love my dividends and they don't seem to be a big deal in these threads.

Right on, brother.

I'm big into AT&T and BP cause I live the dividends. AT&T price has been amazingly stable in these turbulent times, whereas BP cratered and I bought on the way down. Didn't pick up near enough shares at $15 so my head's just above water with it now. Not counting the thousands in cash they've paid out that I've invested elsewhere.

 

[rob mafia]

and there it is, "staring at the ceiling." every. fucking. speech.

wtf? why does biden say this phrase LITERALLY every speech? i know i brought this up in previous threads, but just...
