For a service I pay $5 a month for, the email to AE was beyond unprofessional.

Should Amazon, Netflix, Suddenlink, WSJ or any other device I subscribe to send an email to a customer using that tone and calling them names I would be gone in a heartbeat. Will cancel TA if they don't address the lack of professionalism.

I absolutely demand an answer regarding the moderation of the forums I pay to visit and enjoy.

However, it's obviously the decision of the mods/staff whether or not they respond. But if they can't be bothered to give a simple justification then they probably also don't consider my subscription important either.

What will be, will be.
Thanks & Gig 'Em

Some of us should be happy TexAga puts up with some os us. This is an Aggie sports site and we aren't the key to the business, so be mindful of that before your raise the cost of your presence.

I understand your point is that appeasing posters on forums outside Aggie Sports boards isn't a top concern for staff.

However, a paid subscriber is a paid subscriber. So I guess I beg to differ from that regard, being that paid subscribers are the key to the business model.

I dropped my sub on 3/1 in response to the AE ban. I'm sure its just a drop in the bucket and doesn't even register with TA but as a matter of principal, its important to me.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

No way. I was told it wouldn't happen when I predicted this path months ago.

This a serious question as I know little about what employers get out of providing 401ks to their employees.

Are the incentives for or against an employer adding it to the investment options?

I'd convert 100% of mine if given the option but doubt my employer(fortune 100) will do it.

Forgot to include my opinion on "should employers give the option ".

If the employer can continue to receive the same benefits I would see it as pragmatic.

1. It would be optional and possibly a popular option.
2. Still attract talent but also Including a targeted talent pool.
3. For those going 100% it would reduce management fees.

I'm a little split on this one. As AE always said not your keys, not your coins. Given that, I'm not sure I want any of my 401k itself to be Bitcoin but I do think a financial company that backs up all of it's investments with bitcoin could be a decent hedge against inflation.

Lots of progress being made within different ecosystems and the markets are down. I wouldn't be surprised if prices dropped lower into a major accumulation phase with a sharp spike before we begin the next climb upward. The time frame is unpredictable but I'm guessing mid to late summer depending on global circumstances.

Read that there's nearly zero bitcoin on exchanges right now.

How does that affect price?

Imo, it is more indicative of the sentiment towards BTC. It tells me folks are hodling and not expecting to sell soon. It also tells me that folks have heeded warnings about leaving BTC on exchanges.

He was right and it's headed to $22K. Hoping to buy 3 to 4 coins when it get's there. Could go to $18K, do I get greedy and wait until then?

Seeing as how you can get whatever increment you want it might be better to spread the purchase over time to cost average. Satoshi's are less than a penny even during the peaks

Probably right - DCA is the best strategy......but if it sits in our account for too long, my wife takes a Hobby Lobby commission that get's pretty expensive, so I'll probably go big for 3 BTCs, and then DCA the last $20K. Appreciate the tip though - Gig 'em!
