This has that too, it's called "reddit"

> This has that too, it's called "reddit" If you receive a Bloomberg message from someone, it's something actionable. That's not true, in finance, of virtually any other electronic communication channel.

Just go to 4chan /biz/ for crypto or reddit's wsb for stocks. The idea that you still need to pay 25k$ for a communication software in 2021 is absurd. Check my comment history, bought lots of link in 2017 because everyone was buying it on /biz/, posted about it once here and got criticized for it by someone because it's 4chan etc... and people will only listen to you if you have an expensive suite and watch on, even…

It’s about who you know and the quality of info haha, do what you want

Well /biz/ was telling everyone to buy chainlink at 20 cents, it's now 26$, and they were posting all sorts of information to back their claims.

If information giving more than x100 ROI in 3 years isn't quality enough for you then I don't know what is.

One would be wise to look past the anonymity, racist jokes, homophobic jokes, etc... to find what you want, it's like diving in a lake of shit that has treasure chests under it you'll find it if you look hard and deep enough, but you'll have to swim in shit.

Sometimes I casually flash my B-Unit around or pretend to check the time on it just to let everyone know I have a subscription. Other times I will go out of my way to send emails from the terminal just so others get a glance at my @bloomberg.net email address. I also have people send me stuff to the email if it's someone I haven't met before. The Bloomberg Terminal is well worth it for these two perks. It's much bett…

I honestly can't tell if this is a parody or not

If it isn’t a copypasta, it should be.

I know you are joking. But asides from the securities offered by the typing system and borrow checker, Rust (and Go; and maybe others to some extend) have going for them is that the compiled binary is "OOTB". I'm on ubuntu, and it seems all python tooling is there to start running Gamestonks Terminal. But more often then not, getting a Python, Nodejs or Ruby project running requires a lot of fiddling, insider-informa…

Daft Punk has split up, so it is no longer a valid meme.

That’s just like, your opinion man.

See what I did? It’s an older meme, but it checks out.

He's just saying the high cost acts as an inbound filter.

Spamfilter prior to HashCash based on Proof of Income

I wonder if a messageboard where you had to submit a significantly difficult hashcash proof with every message would be very interesting.

Reddit isn't people who have made at least a 25k investment in a terminal communicating under their real name and job title. That's worth something.

No, but it has plenty of people making at least a 250k investment into a meme stock.

> solve [...], otherwise everything will keep going up This implies that markets going up is a problem that needs to be solved.

Market going up when the economy is going down IS a problem because when it crashes it will amplify the problem ten fold.

Do you have any data to back up that assertion?
