  • Big fan of Atrioc and this is one of his best videos. He has really insightful and thoughtful takes. But also does a great job of keeping things funny and interesting

    I am just astounded that Tesla sells any cars at all at this point. I am convinced there’s a class of Americans that just don’t read any news at all and just see Teslas on the road and think they’re neat. They just feel like Biden didn’t lower prices so give Trump a try. They just coast through life and I’m unreasonably jealous




  • For the most part, Crypto assets have no real value. They can be used as a currency, but that’s infrequent at this point, and really it’s now just a speculative asset.

    In other words, Ethereum’s (and other Cryptos) value is based almost entirely upon how much people think someone else will pay in the future.

    If they think the price will go up, then they will buy. If they think the price will go down, then they will sell.

    Because of this, any shred of evidence that could predict the perceived value going up or down can cause a huge shift in the market. Most likely a news article was released, or someone Tweeted something, that made people think the price could change.











  • My hot take? No, it’s not

    You’ll never change a mind with cruelty. You are merely selfishly expressing your anger

    Best case scenario, this person now feels bad about buying a Tesla, but is now stuck with the car. They will likely have to waste resources fixing it and it may happen again. Sure, you could assume they’re rich and can afford to fix it but that wastes literal resources extracted from our planet to fix or replace the car. And if someone buys the used version they’ll have the same problem and may not be quite as rich the next time someone vandalizes the car.

    More likely scenario, you piss the owner off and they dig in deeper. That’s just how humans work
