Unique digital collectible just sounds hilarious. Fools soon separate from their money. Who wants to buy a 996.1 Aero NFT?

Another great movie about scamming folks out of their life savings that gets forgotten is "Boiler Room"

Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck and a rotten tomatoes score over 50%... 3 things you don't see together very often.

don’t forget about the nice bourbons. I been in Florida since Saturday the 7, as today gas is at $4.49 for regular, it was $4.09 when I came in. Wti is almost at $115. I’m offloading COP in lots when it jumps $5, probably will sell a bit today. I have owned this since 1984. Still the biggest position in my portfolio, I owned DuPont who at the time owned Conoco. I’m getting killed by Desantis battle with Disney. Yeah my position in coin base has been murdered too but the original investment was only $3000. Warren buffet has been buying apple 🍎 but I already have too much of it already, same with Microsoft.

Cop just crossed $105 time to sell a bit.

The Yankees keep on kicking as???

I already have a watering hole in Florida.

Take a look at BAT. Have you ever seen so many 996s for sale at once on BAT? What's causing the flood gates to open?

Crypto and meme margin calls, millenials starting a family and now need an SUV, aging owners looking to buy something they can get in and out of, folks that are afraid of a used car crash, speculators looking to cash in before they have to actually spend money on servicing the car?

Interestingly, even though a boatload are for sale, bidding prices are strong. Bet there are a few gems in the list as well. Supply certainly creates opportunity.

The answer is none of these, BaT listings are up across the board.

Governments across the world more than understands what it means. CBDCs are the future. US gov will drop the hammer on stablecoins once this crash is through, not before.

The question is why BAT listings are up? There is always a reason. Been to the porsche dealership 2x over the last 2 months and there are no cars for sale, so folks arent selling older models for new.

What if the new car supply bottleneck continues? Who knows. But I do know this, the 996 is a classic keeper.

BaT was bought out, the new owners want a return on their investment. It's not that difficult.

If I was a different person, I'd put mine up on BaT, put the reserve at $150k... start the listing at a penny and see where it would end up.

Bid prices look to be pretty strong this week. But I can't fathom not having my 996.

Can we sell "Rennlist 996 Greatest Hits" posts as NFT's?

I'll buy the one where the guy asks if he should wrap his engine in plastic before he washes his car for $5 for a laugh.

This idea has potential! I'll take "guy who is afraid to park his car on a non-perfectly flat surface".

I’ll take the 3/98 triptonic silver with boxster red leather that as of March this year only had 9000 miles. The car was at the concourse de elegance in Kemah Texas. Spotless garage queen 👸.
