    The above post shows 10k/year. Idk what a robo taxi will make in the future but that doesn’t seem that crazy.

    she is absolutely not a trustworthy source of anything and people who back her tend to also be people who drool over all of Elon’s Fonzi Cream. Unfortunately in this space you can never tell who is a dupe and who is part of the cream.

    One of my colleagues says his Tesla often already pays for itself on Turo, but I would be too worried I'd get it back with skidmarks on the passenger seat.

    I feel like people who can pay a few hundred per day to borrow your car probably aren’t shitting themselves in it.

    Im confused on why we’re making fun of her Tesla stock price prediction, which was widely ridiculed at the time she made it and then subsequently hit 2 years early.

    But sure, the person with $50B AUM for a company she founded shouldn’t be trusted for anything.

    i think we're likely decades away from level 5 autonomous vehicles dominating the roads --- if it happens at all.

    I think it will be more companies like Uber or Tesla having fleets that do it, not people renting their car to Uber/Tesla to do it. Uber is already doing it in some cities.

    Tesla is nowhere near being the front runner for level 5 driving

    they can’t figure out sheet metal panels

    if someone says that buying lottery tickets is the best investment strategy and then manages to win a mega jackpot --- are they wise and trustworthy with financial advice?

    the model her team released was error-ridden to an embarrassing degree. her investment theory was wildly inaccurate. but you trust her because she won the lottery?

    She made a Tesla price prediction that hit and Handcuffed is in here acting like she was wrong about it.

    And you led with “absolutely not a trustworthy source of anything.” Go ahead and attempt to explain why that’s the case. She talks her book like oh idk every fund manager in the world.

    I also have a grand total of $0 with her and wouldn’t give a shit if she sold all their gbtc holdings tomorrow. The hate is just funny.

    Good talk. Like usual, spout stupid shit, get called on it, and disappear because just can’t be bothered to defend stupid shit.

    I’ll be sure to Google her though and read about all the fraud she’s engaged in.

    Hmmm. Was that model the sole basis of her price prediction? Was Tesla the only successful investment in her funds? How many times has she hit the lottery?

    Real big fan of the theoretical geniuses in here taking shots at one of the best fund managers of the last few years. Y’all are definitely smarter though, and I’m sure you’ll prove it one of these days.

    The fun part about #financialmeritocracy is that there’s a scoreboard for stuff like this, and she’ll succeed or fail based on numbers, even if they’re propped up by the fed.

    you make this stuff weirdly personal which is why talking to you is basically impossible

    You said she’s not to be trusted for anything and provided absolutely nothing to support that statement, which is why talking to you is basically impossible

    fwiw

    Back to reality though, she’s a successful fund manager, the facts support that, and she’s done way more than make a lottery bet on Tesla (which is disingenuous framing, but even accepted as true, is irrelevant to the scoreboard).

    Interesting reads, lot's of kinks to work out. I think we always seem to underestimate how fast tech advances and also encroaches on our lives. I don't think AI will be any different.

    Isn’t this fine for anyone who can upload like a drivers license and utility bill?

    I get that people have aversions to KYC and data leaks/privacy, but there’s a pretty easy solution if you need to withdraw.

    For sure, non kyc on binance gave you access to more coins than the kyc binance.us version I believe. This should have caught zero people off guard.

    I always think of things like pension funds having direct access and not having to worry about custody and all the headaches that come with that. It also just gives peace of mind to wealth managers when they have a client come to them about "crypto" or bitcoin.

    An etf gives investment advisors easy access to btc. Approval will have a significant impact on price imo.

    Curious to see how this plays out next 6 months because the yield compression is down like 75% yoy on stables

    they’re going to be at parity with legacy yields faster than people think
