  1. Happy New Year’s Twat!
    Say — didn’t you once claim to loaded up on Cryptocurrency for your retirement?? Hopefully you didn’t buy at the top. 🤕

    Swiftee may yet replace Dunning-Krueger as the name for that specific syndrome.

  2. Pathological liar is correct, Blade. That is one of Emery’s many mental disorders.
    No SITD commenter has ever claimed to have “loaded up on cryptocurrency.”
    Emery is the only SITD commenter to ever initiate discussion of cryptocurrencies. He has done so quite often since cryptocurrencies collapsed, you can come to your own conclusions about what that means.
    Given his other failures to predict the market, I would guess that Emery would think that a pseudo-random string of ones and zeroes was a fine investment.
    He’ll always have his collection of Bazooka Joe NFT’s. They’ll never go below a value of 0!
    Unless he leveraged them to buy more Bazooka Joe NFT’s. Might be looking at a nasty margin call then.

  3. rAT cites Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad author, as someone he sees as an authority.

    Then he bellows some inane crap about Crypto.

    rAT copies and pastes shit off the internet, which he thinks make him look knowledgeable. The fact is, his 80IQ trips him up every time. rAT doesn’t understand shit about 99.999% of the topics he claims expertise in.

    Not Trump, not politics, not Ukraine, not finance or investing, not even skiing. RAT is pathological liar, and an idiot suffering from Dunning Kruger disease.

    “Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Says Bitcoin Holders Will Get Richer When Fed Prints ‘Trillions Of Fake Dollars'”

  4. I get a kick out of people who believe that they can “predict the market.” It’s all priced out by incredibly intelligent people who were born into families with immense wealth, who could afford to send their kids to the very best schools, who are insanely competitive, and who care about nothing else than MAKING MORE MONEY. Those are your companions on the field of play.
    But because you subscribe to _The Economist_ and the _Wall Street Journal_, and that super secret newsletter, that gives you an edge. Well, that plus the fact that you have the gift of intuitively sensing market moves, it’s a gift, and it is yours, alone.
    Go get ’em, tiger. You’ll make make money in a bull market and think you’re a genius.

  5. Definition of an idiot:

    An internet anon that makes ludicrous, constantly conflicting statements that leave no one doubting you are a liar IRL.

  6. The cruelty of capitalism is that the only way to increase the size of the pie, and not just your own piece of the pie, is to sell something it cost you ninety-nine cents to make for a dollar. And that is really hard to do because once someone else sees you make a penny on a ninety-nine cent investment, he’ll be willing to do the same for a 0.99 penny profit.
    Libertarians & free market economists are convinced that they understand economics. I don’t think that they understand economics at all.

  7. Cathie Wood’s Ark Investment Management has lost 50 billion in crypto. The only chance she has to get that back is to encourage gullable investors back into the ponzi. So she makes silly predictions valuing crypto at 1 million by 2030. She is pretending to know things she cannot know. Do you trust a person who has lost 50 billion in a ponzi that she continues to promote? Pervaded by corruption and greed with no real world use or value, crypto is being held up now only by the religiously faithfull like Wood. It will go to zero or stagnate into oblivion and good riddance.

    I don’t normally take schadenfreude in the downfall of companies and investments, but when it comes to crypto I make an exception.

  8. ^^Emery going on and on about the crypto, again.
    No commenter on SITD has talked about crypto as much as Emery. He has even claimed that other SITD commenters are, unlike him, obsessed with crypto as an investment tool.
    Emery even claimed that one particular commenter had written that he had gone heavily into crypto with his retirement funds. That individual had never written anything about crypto as an investment, positive or negative.
    This is what madness looks like.

  9. No commenter other than Emery has so much as mentioned “Cathie Woods” or “Ark Investments.”
    I’m not going too far out on a limb here when I say that Emery probably lost his shirt in an Ark Investment crypto fund.

  10. I was wondering why rAT was so enraptured with bitcoin.

    UMMP is right. Our little rodent took his life savings (a soggy little roll of $20’s) out of his sock drawer, filled a crypto wallet with 1/125 Eth, and now its gone.

    It’s just the kind of thing that would suck a nitwit like him in.
