You'd be correct in saying that neither party really cares, assuming that for Republicans you mean the legacy party that Trump does not represent. Trump actually had a really good immigration overhaul plan, damn near my own personal ideal of a merit based system, but of course neither party supported him on that. It's one of the chief reasons we want to see Trump, in particular, win. Not "a Republican". Not Cruz or, god forbid, Romney. Legacy Republicans won't do it. Legacy Democrats absolutely want to make the problem worse for the benefit of their own corporate supporters. Trump is the only one I see who actually wants true reform and did what he could to not only enforce the existing laws, but tried to finagle funding from Congressional honeypots to try and improve what security existed.]]>

Cost: Horse 2k, armor 2k, weapons 3k approx.
I usually get some starter tools.
I use black iron armor because its cheaper sometimes but definitely shop prices.

If we go as a group and coin is an issue I will give everyone 25k to get started.
We can raid and pillage and try to sell whatever we find or dump it in the river.

NPCs drop food and you can either buy some horse food or just make it. I use basic stuff.

If I am stuck 24 hours I usually make a wood fob in the jungle near a stronghold.]]> Sounds like a long time but it goes by fast.

It's tempting to call the protest wave "anti-Jew, reminiscent of pre-war Germany" because that's always a good knee slapper ("who had 'Democrats turn out to be the actual Nazis' on their 2024 bingo card?") but realistically they are just your standard run of the mill gaslight victims who have almost no idea what they are chanting, what it means, or what it would mean if it came true. They think "from the river to the sea" means the Jews and Palestinians get along and everyone can be friends and not, you know, the actual total elimination of the nation of Israel. (There are a few who really mean it, but they are surrounded by white bread ivory tower protesters who just think Muhammed is a fun guy and you shouldn't take him literally because that's racist. When he says he wants to exterminate all the Jews, he's just expressing his feelings on repression as per his cultural birthright and how dare you imply that he wants to exterminate all the Jews. You're just saying that because you hate brown people.)

I think the most interesting thing about all of this is that Palestinians -- the world's leading grifters and gaslighters -- appear to have finally overplayed their hand.]]>

I have a load of goods ready to go to Meteor but I think I'll do that Friday afternoon sometime.

We should try to get a lvl 40 ballista to Meteor on the idea that we can put it close enough to the mine to shoot miners. We can stick an NPC on it set to only shoot at players. Don't put it directly in front of the flag though because I have ideas on trying to switch out that boulder wall for maybe a metal outer wall and get more space to fully enclose the totem in metal walls.]]>

1. Get the resources for Rafts
2. Put resources in carpenter bench
3. Put some expertise points in Siege (I did 5 for a week)
4. Go get the power hour for expertise not XP.
5. Make 2-4 rafts depending on how many resources you farmed

You should be at 300+ siege when the power hour is over.]]>

Post what you own:
CRO, MANA, BTC

SHPING is up 308.75% this month....
PLU up 53.28% today 
MPL up 33.18% today

Those are high risk and short holds. IMO. Some people are getting rich off the dips.]]>

It seems that he can use his celebrity to drive stock prices up/down and use his ability to buy/sell massive amounts to also drive prices up/down.  I felt with dogecoin that he absolutely used his celebrity to boost the value.

I also feel that he may be doing this with tesla as well(granted... I'm an idiot...). But him selling off massive amounts of tesla stock, making decisions for the company causing the stock prices to fall, and then repurchasing his stock seems very manipulative(I don't think he has purchased any since he sold recently, but I'm waiting for it to happen).]]>

Some fun stats:

If you invested $1000 in Bitcoin a year ago, it would be worth $4,213 today
If you invested $1000 in Bitcoin in 2013, it would be worth $193,000 today
If you invested $1000 in Bitcoin in 2010, it would be worth $262,000,000 today hock:
If you invested $1000 in Ethereum just 3 months ago, it would be worth $19,225 today
If you invested $1000 in Ethereum in 2015, it would be worth $748,960 today

So yeah, I'm late. But hey, you can't get returns like that in the stock market (without some crazy options plays).

Then again, this is scary stuff. I bought in on Bitcoin at $2225.88, and ETH at $231.05, and within two weeks Bitcoin hit $3000 and ETH hit $400. Then there was a huge crash, before both started going back up again. Then just today ETH had a flash crash, falling to 10c (yes 10 cents) before jumping back up to $300 in the space of seconds (some lucky bastard got the deal of a lifetime). http://www.businessinsider.com/ethereum-...ash-2017-6

I also starting cloud mining Bitcoin and ETH. That seems to have less risk, but it can take 6 months or longer to make a profit. Unless of course the value sky rockets again...

Anyone else dabbling/investing? Or even have a mining rig setup at home?
