Recently I was in the psych ward for 14 days and had no Internet access during that time. During that time my stock portfolio went from outperforming the S&P 500 to significantly underperforming. This just illustrates the efficacy of day trading, as opposed to just putting money in stocks and letting it sit. The latter strategy relies too much on trying to predict which stocks are going to perform well and investing in those stocks (which, you know, anyone who knows the first thing about investing knows that predicting market trends is literally impossible), while the former strategy allows you to tweak and fine-tune all the variables after-the-fact. Hell, if stock picks by so-called "experts" can be consistently beaten by stock picks based on the toss of a coin, I'd say day trading is the only way to get any real gains without making reckless bets.

@PsychoCod3r Problem is the fees, they ruin day trading, especially with crypto

@verita84 I use Fidelity Investments. I only get charged a penny for each trade, if that. Even if my capital gains from a trade are only 50 cents, the fee is still a tiny fraction of that.

@PsychoCod3r Do you recommend robinhood?

@verita84 I've never used Robinhood. As a general rule, I stay away from things that have a lot of hype attached to them (Game Stop, Big Tech stocks, Bitcoin, ETFs, etc.) Hype basically guarantees that something is overvalued or that the market is oversaturated. My rule is to look at what all the normies are doing and do the exact opposite.

@verita84 A good example of something that's not oversaturated is Mastodon and other Web 3.0 platforms. Virtually no one knows that Mastodon exists or knows what Web 3.0 is, yet there's massive potential for it to be the next big thing in social media, which means these platforms are still untapped. I realized early on that if I can gain a foothold in these platforms while they're still young, then when the platform eventually gets discovered by the normies and blows up, my brand will blow up with it. You need to be able to see potential in something where other people don't. Taking the beaten path can only lead to mediocrity.

@verita84 @PsychoCod3r I've accepted that if Fedi ever takes off with normies it'll go to total shit but it's still a necessary step forward. We need an unbroken path for edgelord memes to trickle down to normiecons no matter how cringe they might be.

@verita84 That's actually a good thing, because the main thing that prevents pure "free speech" platforms like Minds and Bitchute from taking off is that everyone views them as hotbeds for right wing extremism. I like the fact that Mastodon is anti-censorship, yet still doesn't tolerate hate speech. If anything, that will remove the biggest potential barrier to its growth.

@PsychoCod3r That makes no sense. You can't be anti-censorship and anti hate speech. Who gets to define hate speech? It's a meaningless term.

@verita84 @PsychoCod3r Free platforms are gonna be right-wing because they're the main targets of the censors. The only real options are accepting slavery or accepting that you'll be labelled a "right-wing extremist."

@ArdanianRight @PsychoCod3r Yes. Right wing users are the only ones against the narrative and are seeking refuge and peace from leftist censorship. We are even being deplatformed on decentralized infrastructure,wtf

@verita84 Sometimes you have to make compromises. I've been on Minds, and the problem with that platform is that because of its reputation, the only people interested in joining are Alt-Right Nazis, InfoWars fans, QAnon, etc. That's not a balanced user base by any means, and it's stunting the growth of those platforms. I gave up on Minds because I decided it had basically no growth potential, because it was only appealing to a very limited demographic.

@ArdanianRight @PsychoCod3r @verita84 There is a proven phenomenon that any media platform that allows unrestricted freedom of speech, will inevitably become right-wing in atmosphere. Alex Linder likes to take credit for originating that axiom, but the truth is it was probably around in some form or other since long before he was ever in the picture.

@verita84 I'm not going to argue with that. I will say, however, that not everything can be a win-win situation. The problem with idealists is that they fail to see the nuances and the areas where their ideology breaks down. Sometimes you have to view things realistically, and act accordingly.

@verita84 @admin @ArdanianRight I wish that were possible, but unfortunately we live in a time of ubiquitous censorship. That's just the world we live in. You can either adapt, or continue being an idealist and end up losing in the end.

@verita84 @admin @ArdanianRight That may be the case. However, my priority is promoting my personal brand so I can eventually make money off of it, and embracing sites like Minds and Gab doesn't really help in that area.

@admin It's basically just a permutation of Godwin's Law. Ultimately, modern left wing ideas fall apart the second they are subject to any form of intellectually honest scrutiny, and thus the odds of a leftist losing an argument to literal Hitler in an environment where slaughtering the left's sacred cows is permissible are basically 100%@ArdanianRight @PsychoCod3r @verita84
