Sorry, I'm a bit confused by the "fundraising" terminology. Is this in regards to investments in the cryptocurrency industry, such as exchanges and other corporations, or individual purchases of the raw assets?

Looking at market cap, Bitcoin peaked earlier this year at $1.43 trillion and is currently at $1.23 trillion. That's only a 14% drop. If you look at the global cryptocurrency market cap, it peaked in 2021 at $3.07 trillion and is currently at $2.26 trillion. That's a 26% drop. I understand that you don't think crypto is dead, but there's a lot of delusion in this thread. Surely, if cryptocurrencies are dead, Disney (down 53% from peak) and Intel (down 67% from peak) are on life support.

I agree with everything you're saying except crypto is not down by more than half since it's peak.

No, I'm comparing two used cars to the cost of an EV battery replacement. Also, I was generously rounding up the cost of the two cars. My total was actually $12,200. $9k for a 2006 Subaru Forester and $3,200 for a 1992 Miata.

$23k is more than the cost of my last 2 ICE cars combined!

How long does MG consider to be a lifetime? I'm daily driving a 32 year old car.

Edit: ~~Ok, I looked it up. It's an unlimited-mile warranty for the first 12 months. After that, it lasts up to 80,000 miles or 7 years, whichever comes first. This is less than the battery warranty for many other brands. This kind of advertising should be illegal, but they placed "lifetime" in quotes, so I guess everyone's cool with it.~~ Actually, it looks like that might be the old warranty, effective in 2019. I'm having trouble finding the actual terms for the new warranty, but I wanted to correct myself first.

Lol, it's a clip from Caddy Shack and clearly a joke pal.

Looks like sarcasm there bud.

Hell yeah! I do this everyday when I'm away from my bidet at home.

To be fair, you did say "no one". Cheer up grumpy-pants!

no one says hydrogen bomb referring to conventional arms.

Bold claim, considering you're posting in a thread where the article does exactly that. 🤣

The same as other states where you can buy alcohol without a membership, like Kentucky. They have you wait while a supervisor comes over to override the membership scan.
