    Ripping music CD on Nero didn't get 1.4Mbps on FLAC

    I paid for the Nero s/w. I'm not going to buy another s/w. The thing about using a s/w that you know best, is that you know where the bugs are, and you know what to expect from that s/w. If I try a new s/w, I have to start from scratch to find out what kind of bugs are in that new s/w...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    I am simply stating that there is no way that there is any stock or ETF or commodity or in your case, Bitcoin that has parabolic gain, and it can HOLD that kind of gain. As recent as this morning, at CNBC, Steve Cohen of Point72 said the same thing, he's neutral on bitcoin. He said his son...

    but as you read from those 2 links, they are also using 10% as a label for crypto correction territory. So don't kill the messager , write them a letter. Whether you want to classify bitcoin as a commodity, or called Crypto category, it changes nothing. The Market maker is still using 10% as...

    do you bunch of bitcoin bull still uphold your belief? because since it hit a high of $73K, it dropped down to $64K, bounces back a bit to $68K, but then drop again today to $63K. So from $73K to $63K this morning, it is a drop of $10K. As such, it has passed the market's 10% correction territory

    I never realize trading firm allows people to trade crypto w/ margin. What's the margin? w/ currency, I know the margin is 99%, but that's very dangerous. w/ stock, it's usually 30% for stock like IBM or QQQ but some are 50%.
