He demands a sacrifice of a bottle of Orbitz and 3D Doritos, without these you will surely be dragged to the level of purgatory where he dwells (brought to you by GoDaddy)

Google, Apple, yahoo, weathered the last one, anyone else?? They'll be fine I'm sure. This time I bet Facebook and Twitter will remain popular for a couple years at least, probably. Facebook will exist as a company if they can keep buying smaller social media things for a decade or so.

honestly even with a rudimentary understanding of markets and charts you could look at a chart like that and be able to say with a high degree of confidence that the market will correct such a spike. you'd have to be blinded by greed to keep dumping money in after such a jump and not expect a contraction.paranoid randroid posted:jesus the article even has a guy going "don't worry, investment capital can only increase!" usually people like this are shills trying to convince people to buy the stocks they are selling or use their broker or whatever. they know what they're doing: preying on people who don't know better and get caught up in the hype. either that or they're just idiots. but no one who claims certainty should be taken seriously because the first thing you learn is that nothing in economics and markets is certain Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 09:39 on Jan 17, 2015 |

Good news, you can now buy almost double the drugs with the bitcoins you already have! Please take them all at once and then post in the GBS TCC thread.

Bitcoin didn't disrupt currency since it never found widespread use except for things like drugs or tipping the Reddit Gone Wild girls.

Suburbs, bro. You can buy decent coke within walking distance of a good high school in almost every American city. Unless you're not in the US, then it could be true.

I get my weed locally, gently caress getting stinky, bulky, weed shipped to your home with your name on it. I just get my psychedelics online because I can't find them anywhere else, plus you can check out the reviews and poo poo rather than take your dealer's word it is what it is.

Start making better and/or worse friends and you'll get good drug connections.
