one of the biggest inefficiencies in the Pokemon card market is the fact that normal people (anyone who isn't a vendor) can almost NEVER get FULL market value for whatever their cards are worth
if you're new to Pokemon you may not know this, but if you've been around you already know what I mean
let's say you buy a card from someone for $500
then lets say that card goes up to $650 in price
if you want to sell that card, the MOST you're going to get is 87% if you sell it on eBay, and if you try to sell it in person you're only going to get offered 80%
so if you buy a card at $500, and sell it on eBay for $650, you're only getting $560
if you try to sell it in person, you get even less than $560
vendors are usually very strict when it comes to these percentages too
whenever they have a card to sell, they always list it at the highest possible price but whenever they are buying cards they always try to buy them at the absolute lowest percentage possible
if you're a collector and you simply don't care about pricing or anything like that, then this doesn't really matter
but if you're a trader, it matters
I personally find this to be one of the most interesting things about the Pokemon card economy, and I wonder how long it stays this way

@WallStreetApes I used to work at Arby’s and this is just the slicer set too think. I’d always set it really thin to avoid this. It taste way better thinner

American went to Arby’s and noticed the meat seamed thicker and not the same texture as normal
This meat is from the popular Roast Beef sandwich
It definitely looks very strange…. While looking into it I wasn’t able to find any public reports of Arby’s changing their meat suppliers or ingredients being used
This color and look isn’t typical of roast beef spoiling. If it was spoiling the color would be a dull grey with greenage. The meat would typically look slimy, have mold and a dull look with crusty edges
Always check your food before eating

@AlemzadehC This makes me want to trade bitcoin, not hold it. What’s the point to hold 80% drawdowns?

@SteaknShake I’m considering buying starting a store! The Steak ‘n Shake by my house was removed but all the changes are making you very honorable.

OHIO, you’ll be replaced with Indian labor by VIVEK RAMASWAMY.
Keep your jobs with ME as Governor!
Casey Putsch for Ohio, May 5th

It is vital for the America First movement that Vivek Ramaswamy be decisively defeated.
He is supported by a corrupt and compromised Republican establishment.
No one should vote for Vivek Ramaswamy. No one.
Vote for Casey Putsch for Republican Governor of Ohio.

@sillystev4 Great question! Paper Bitcoin, or derivatives, can introduce short-term manipulation by not reflecting actual supply. However, as more people take self-custody, these manipulations become less impactful. Real Bitcoin is about ownership and decentralization.

@sircryptotips I’m a long time holder so these drawdowns don’t cause me to sell. But I look at the last 5 years and the amount of progress we have made is fantastic but the price isn’t yet reflecting that. Holding an asset for 5 yrs with extreme expectations while only up 36% is frustrating.

@BullTheoryio @grok why does anyone have to listen to Coinbase opinion? Can’t the bill get passed without their input?

@jemimajoanna I’m a woman in Bitcoin and I’d be happy to chat and send you my book, which is meant as a warm and approachable introduction to the problem Bitcoin aims to fix. Bitcoin education changed my life and helped me regain agency and hope in the future.

@DavidShares What does this mean for @BlockstreamJade devices? Are they somehow not safe to use anymore?

Proof that "Andy Back" is Adam Back from Blockstream in the Epstein emails:
April 14, 2014: Epstein emails Austin Hill saying "you and andy can either come to the island fri sat"
April 15, 2014: In direct response to that email, Austin Hill replies saying (and correcting Epstein) "would be easier for Adam to make it from Heathrow to NY"
April 19, 2014: Epstein's now infamous email mistakenly calling Adam Back (twice now) "Andy Back" saying he will be on Epstein Island that weekend.

BTC is not taxed in Dubai, El Salvador, Thailand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Germany (after 1 year of holding).
There are ZERO excuses for Bitcoin being taxed in the United States.
It’s terrible policy that undermines Trump’s Bitcoin Superpower agenda.
We can’t accept it.

@AdamSimecka @BitcoinPierre BTC will always be taxed. The closest you will get to no tax is a BTC backed stable coin.
