/biz/ - Business & Finance

>>13113558
why cant stock and crypto be fren?

>>13113558
Don’t remember that. /biz/ was made from /g/ & /pol/ as a containment board for crypto

>>13113558
hello newfag, its always been about crypto

>>13113566
Because one uses fundamentals and the other uses fuck the mentals.

/biz/ is a containment board to keep crypto scam out of /g/
I started lurking when 1BTC was ~$12k
I recall the great mooning. I recall the pink wojaks.
The last funny meme was the shrimp farm.

>>13113728

Not the OP, but were you really here when that happened? Or are you quoting a history someone else has handed to you?

Going back on the archives, I can see that even a few years ago this board was mostly non-crypto.

>>13113793
>were you really here when that happened?
When what happened?
/biz/ was created when /g/ was flooded with the coin craze. But I didn't bother checking in.
Then bitcoin mooned, ETH mooned so I came in trying to figure out what was happening.
I'm still crying over spilled milk because I'm not rich and having mined bitcoin back then instead of shitposting on desktop threads would have fixed that.

>>13113728
You’re fucking new if you weren’t here when ETH was shilled on every thread before it was $20

>>13113728

>He didn't open a shrimp and koi fish farm

>>13113950
lmao yeah. I was on /g/ posting k-ons rice in desktop threads :^)

>>13113968

Do you have any old screenshots from r9k?

>>13114007
what do you mean?
Also r9k is pretty shit now. robot9001 quality kept degrading, especially after the website that streamed IP cams with default credentials, the whole eggman stuff and failed beta uprising.

>>13114031

I mean do you have any screenshots from when r9k was good? I'd love to see some if you have any.

>especially after the website that streamed IP cams with default credentials

How did that contribute to the decline of r9k?

>>13113728
>shrimp farming meme
>funny
Fuck you I put my life savings into shrimp

>>13114066
kek

>>13114038
I don't have screenshots, but I believe the /r9k/ archive is pretty reliable.
>How did that contribute to the decline of r9k?
Lots of new users who then stayed and started fueling the whole "tfw no gf" meme into the suicidal wave. That was the beginning of the end as it is also the root cause of the whole eggman popularity imo.
Also this was fucken creepy, looking into people's house. I'm surprised this didn't blew out of proportion into scandal. Beastman, this sort of stuff.

>>13114093
I said it, I'm rather new on /biz/. But I'm a regular around /g/ (not during guro) and /prog/ when it was still around.

>>13114110

> That was the beginning of the end as it is also the root cause of the whole eggman popularity imo.

So what year would you consider r9k to have been good? When did you spend time there?

>>13114110
everyone always talks about /prog/, but I only ever got to read it when it was on the ass end of its history and most of the comments were people shitposting about Python or something

>>13113588
it's the opposite moron. stock markets have zero fundamentals and only goes up because of blatant manipulation by central banks all around the world. crypto goes up because of people actually wanting to buy it.

>>13114121
robot9000 before moot killed it and later bring it back as robot9001

>>13114123
They memed me into reading my SICP so I can't complain.

>>13114138

When did the live cam stuff happen? What year was that? What year would you estimate Eggman took off? Did you have a favourite\most disliked tripfag?

>>13114238
Begone CNN. Go investigate Trump

>>13114238
It was around 2015 / 2016.
Ayy lmao this >>13114271 Are you a reporter or something?
Anyway, /r9k/ is a shell of its former self. I just browse because despite all the gay stuff they're quick to react to happenings.

>>13114316
>despite all the gay stuff
>/r9k/ has been rekt by Reiko so hard that some people know them predominantly for gay shit
I don't disagree with you, I'm just amazed at how times have changed

>>13114353
blame discord and hiroshimoot

How do i into stock market?

>>13114371
This. I too want to have recommendations on how to choose online brokers with low commission fees

>>13113728
I got pet shrimp now.

>>13114360
I don't see how hiro contributed to /r9k/'s continued decline considering it was already a sinking ship when he got on board

if it's implied that him banning discord links would fix things, I think people would just do the same shit the old fashioned way through Steam groups instead

>>13114411
I blame him for everything because he's too busy adding trackers, malicious adds and trying to break the site if we block his shit, and derailing threads instead of doing anything "productive".
But yeah, /r9k/ was too late to be saved, although stricter regulation against discords wouldn't hurt. Anyway, nothing of value is lost.
