I'm speculating wildly here (but defo not hating )...

Could any of this be related to the possibility that the two main sources of your moniez might have gone dry and you have not got your follow-on plan quite sorted yet???

This documentary is hugely biased and misleading, it compares Vegans(generally eat a lot of vegetables/are more health conscious) to everyone else(Most people don't exercise/eat tons of sugar/tons of processed foods/are more likely to smoke) and comes to the conclusion that meat is bad.

There have been numerous studies that show no difference in chronic disease between vegans and meats eaters who don't eat junk and live a healthy life.

Amazing, only in 2018 would anyone be stupid enough to base a diet off of a Netflix show

Make it your absolute #1 priority to get to feeling better and healthier Kangal. Whatever it takes. Great to see you post itt again! Get well soon.

All the best,

Glad to hear you are doing better bro. Whatever works for you then I obviously can’t knock it. I gym and exercise quite a bit as is. Although it has dropped a bit with the recent health scares.

Hey, well poker isn’t going anywhere any time soon. Loads of money to be made there. And assuming the #2 on your list is crypto, then there’s still loads of money to be made there too. I made more money than I knew what to do with last year between the two. I shorted BTC from about 8k down and I’m now wedged up in Satoshis again for the next ATH.

I’ll admit that watching the crypto bear market play out wasn’t fun in the beginning, and probably did elevate stress levels across the board. But I have now taken significant measures to counteract this. I’d go as far as to say that right now could be one of the greatest profitability margins in crypto history.

I’ll give it a watch. Don’t plan on joining any cults.

Thanks very much DG. Hope you’re doing good too.

So I went for my health screening on Wednesday. Results regarding heart rate and pulse tracing were very positive across the board. Heart rate was right around ideal for my age grouping, and nothing untoward showed up on my trace, either under duress or at rest. Which leads me to think that a lot of what I’m feeling is down to stress.

This was all following a week away from life and general stress levels, during which Aimee and I went down to York on holiday. We did loads of fine dining, long walks and sight seeing. Visited both of Tommy Banks’ restaurants (Black Swan and Roots for the foodies out there) which were both unbelievably good. I think Black Swan rates has one of the best customer feedback venues on earth, so no real surprises there.

Anyway, I think the week away did me the world of good. Feeling much more positive, especially given the results of the screening. I’ll keeo an eye on it, but for now I think I’m just about ready to get back to the tables.

Peace

Full speed ahead!

Good to see things are looking up mate.

Awesome to hear my man <3

Glad to hear that Kangal! post some pics from the top flight restaurant.

Glad to hear you re okay broski gl vamos

How can you be so sure about crypto going up? That market is so random and have 0 fundamentals pointing in any direction, making it impossible to predict in the long term (maybe in the short term if you can predict people's behaviors).

It's just currency, man, even if people end up using more one of those in the future, it's not a big factor to increase the price of it. People using the currency is only a variable that will say if it will be worthless or not.

Why not studying investment and focusing where you can actually make money, like stocks?

Yup easy as that - study stock investment where you can actually make money. Just ignore the crypto markets, too efficient to find an edge.

It's not a matter of how efficient or not the market is, it's a matter of if it's possible or not to be +EV or not in that market in a consistent basis. It's just speculation on currency, which exists since a long time, if you like speculating on currencies and thought you had an edge on those, why weren't you speculating on forex before the crypto hype came out?

There's so much bull**** going on in speculative markets like inside info, people manipulating the market that I can't see how a random guy can make money in there. It's like people think they're "getting good at crypto" while there's nothing to get good in there, it's just random people moving money around and hoping most other people end up choosing the same as they did.

It's so weird to see someone well-educated like you messing with that, plasticelephant, what did your economy professors taught you in the university? Don't you think your skills would be better used if you tried to analyze how healthy a company is and if its managers are using a good strategy given the environment the company(and its competitors, government, substitute products) is in?

Will post a longer reply when I have time. But basically BTC has been on the go for 10years, and has frankly failed in its experiment to be adopted on its primary use case. Where it has succeeded is in acting as a store of wealth and a long term appreciating asset. People like these things.

Whether bitcoin gets an ETF approval or not, institutional money is going to show up eventually. And when it does it’ll be on a huge scale. Bakkt launches in Q1 2019 and will be a big step towards this. I’d be willing to wager that you could take the current market cap of all cryptocurrency, multiply it by 50, and you might be getting close to a future valuation of the BTC market cap.

The emboldened bit is an incredibly binary viewpoint. Especially for a topic that you don’t seem to have done much/any research on.

One can buy a piece of land that produces corn and either farm it or rent it to a farmer.

One can also speculate on the price of corn on the futures market.

One of these produces cash flow, and one does not. I believe that is the point rapidesh is trying to make.

There is money to be made in speculative markets, certainly in their youth, but it is still wildly volatile and success does not directly correlate to knowledge or skill.

All the money is made in inefficient markets.

My economics professors mostly taught me not to listen to economics professors

Lolol solid answer haha gg

fyp

Similarly, my favorite finance professor taught us to trust no one in finance. Including himself.

90% of the knowledge I gained in college came from that single professor.

Don't believe the vegans , look into ketosis .
Its really great for reducing stress and sustaining energy.

yeah vitamins are so bad for you, just eat fat mate u dont need anything else

Getting up to speed. Good to see you’re crushing it out in SE Asia Harv.

Thanks man

Thanks bro. Hope you’re doing well. Keep meaning to leave a detailed response in your thread, but your pics and TR were amazing recently.

Thanks mate, will dig them out. I’m sure Aimee took some good food snaps.

Cheers, glad to see you crushing it up recently!

Lmao well said.

So, decided to ease myself in gently. Fired up some chilled out 200z today to find my feet.



I mean FFS lmao. This is not the graph you want to play out after a couple of months away dealing with stress induced panic attacks. It did feel super good to get out of the 1kbb hole though, and I played really well for the most part, despite wondering why I'd ever missed this game at points...

Some mega spicy hands went down, but the HH converter doesn't seem to be working right now with PT4. I'll try and post some of them later on.

haha welcome back!

it's the 2p2 hand replayer that's broken - use upswingpoker hand converter and copy paste - that's what i've been doing
