@packdrip I once had a graded numismatic coin mailed and I just happened to notice & watch the mail man fill up the mailbox that day. I got the notification that it was delivered, checked it a few minutes later only to realize it wasn't there. Turned out the mail man kept it & got fired.

eBay fucking sucks. I sold a Cooper Flagg Refractor for $176.50 and it says delivered but the buyer claims he never got it. eBay just issued a full refund, but I also will not receive my card back. This is the biggest load of bullshit ever.

@ForDepth98654 @ActualAnakeen @X @Verizon @GetSpectrum We have a winner

@ActualAnakeen @X @Verizon @GetSpectrum

Does anything have worse customer service than @X ? Maybe @Verizon . What do you think is the worst?

@TomiLaffly @Ask_Spectrum I just keep adding more and more to my short position on Spectrum on their publicly traded stock on the nyse. It's working out so far

This is maybe the 8th time in the last day that my @Ask_Spectrum wifi has been cut off & crapping on me. I’m sure they’ll respond with an utterly useless “DM us for help” but won’t actually help. They charge a fortune & if you aren’t wired for Fios, a total monopoly. I hate them.

@Alter3go22 That would be a very bad decision as Spectrum is the most unreliable service provider in the nation, no joke. If you switch to Spectrum, these will be your upload & download speeds on weeknights and weekends.

I'm really thinking about ditching Verizon, even though I just joined in December. I keep having problems that don't get fixed, and I can't even get a hold of customer support. I totally regret not sticking with Spectrum now. Plus, my DVR stopped working for no reason

@jm826 @GetSpectrum @Ask_Spectrum They are 100% gaslighting their customer base. Did you know that it was deemed in 2025 that it's legal for these internet providers to throttle their customer's upload & download speeds at will and are not required by law to provide either consistent or quality services?

@GetSpectrum @Ask_Spectrum why is your customer service trying to gaslight us that there's no outages and accusations of installing splitters and some faulty equipment??? Then it's up at 1am and then cut off again right at 6am. Some bs right there.

Okay, Im going to need this.

Pretty much.

A $500 billion blockchain exists because a 15 year old cried himself to sleep over a World of Warcraft update In 2010, Blizzard nerfed Vitalik Buterin's favorite Warlock spell in World of Warcraft His own words: "I cried myself to sleep, and on that day I realized what horrors centralized services can bring" Quit the game. A year later his dad showed him Bitcoin. He couldn't mine it and couldn't afford to buy it. So he started writing articles for a crypto blog for 5 BTC each, worth about $3.50 at the time. Those 5 BTC are worth $335,000 today for ONE article. Co-founded Bitcoin Magazine at 17. Applied for a job at Ripple. They accepted him but couldn't sponsor his visa. At 19 he proposed major changes to Bitcoin. The community said no. So he wrote his own whitepaper. Called it Ethereum. 30 developers reached out within weeks. Dropped out of college. Got a $100K Thiel Fellowship. Sold ETH at $0.31 in the ICO and raised $18 million. One person spent $310,000 on 1 million ETH in that sale worth around $4.3 billion at peak. Another one invested $263 and got 850 ETH now worth over $1.7 million. Ethereum launched when Vitalik was 21. Peak market cap: over $500 billion. All because Blizzard nerfed a Warlock spell.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Eric Trump says US banks are trying to block Americans from earning higher yields through crypto and stablecoins.

A historic moment for crypto. Kraken Financial has been granted a Federal Reserve master account, making us the first digital asset bank with direct access to the U.S. payments system. A major step toward connecting crypto infrastructure with the core rails of global finance. blog.kraken.com/news/federal-r…

🇺🇸 JUST IN: Kraken becomes the first crypto firm to gain access to the Federal Reserve’s core payment system, securing a “master account.”

On this day in 1986, Metallica dropped Master of Puppets — the album that changed heavy metal forever! Still the greatest thrash record of all time… or is there one that tops it? 🤘🔥

@Stass04 @CardPurchaser Sounds about right… Seems like the buyer was definitely going crazy not being able to track the package lol. I’ve been there before & understand the frustration from both ends lol. Never been a fan of eBay’s standard shipping myself for these reasons

@_TraderLuke @CardPurchaser It was shipped in an envelope, no tracking available. But yeah the buyer responded one time out of the entire conversation.

Sold a card under $20 on eBay, got hit with two blizzards in 3 weeks. Mail was late. Buyer asked for refund, I asked buyer to wait another week. Buyer declined, had to issue refund, eBay tells me today that the card was delivered anything I can do? @CardPurchaser

@RealJackPoor Sleeping in that morning

You wake up to this, what would you do next?

@bandwastaken I’d pay for dial up internet if it came back before ever signing up with Spectrum again.

Spectrum got to be the worst internet ever 😂

@mostwantedtoon @Ask_Spectrum It happens to all of the customers nearly every single day, but Spectrum will always attempt to gaslight you into thinking it’s an isolated issue.

@Ask_Spectrum why do yall just randomly cut the internet sometimes and then bring it right back. or is that just a me thing.

This is SHOCKING. Jane Street’s secret trading technique is to accumulate shares, then dump them in seconds to crash the price and profit from shorts. They ran the same 10 AM manipulation algo in Indian markets and made $4.23 billion, which led to a temporary ban by the Securities and Exchange Board of India. Their playbook is simple: 1) Have billions of dollars from investors 2) Buy spot Bitcoin at, say, $68k 3) Open massive shorts via options or derivatives 4) Sell large amounts of BTC in minutes with algos, combined with low liquidity or negative news to trigger panic selling 5) Price crashes to $62k 6) Close shorts for massive profits while losing just 5% on spot 7) Buy spot Bitcoin again at $62k, squeeze shorts, and create FOMO to push price higher 8) Open massive shorts again... Rinse and repeat. In India, Jane Street still has $560 million frozen in an escrow account with SEBI, and the manipulation case is ongoing.
