    I know this isn't the truck thread, so I'll keep this brief, but Ford really did a good job of thinking beyond just making a cool truck. The thing can come with a charging station that can double as battery backup for your house during power outages and the truck itself can act as a generator (the truck bed outlets can put out enough power to run a welder). The possibilities for fleet and job site applications are huge for the latter.

    i follow a bunch of survivalist and prepped subreddits, and soon as it hit the press this thing was promoted as a generator on wheels, specifically for Texans who are still looking for a good generator (like me) while visions of the past snowpocalypse dance in their head.

    to bring this back to investing though, if this is the first real EV punch they threw, it’s a strong one. Once GME does its thing I’ll probably park some money in there and just wait a few years. After my experience with my f-250, I’ll only drive a Ford trucks. This only furthers my love for the company.

    This should be very interesting. Competition is good.

    The fact that I wouldn’t be embarrassed to be seen in the Ford goes a long way.

    It’s also relatively affordable compared to the upcoming hummer one.

    Tried moving some money to my RH app and buy some ETH that had dipped. Anything over $1000 (IIRC) takes ~5 days. On the day it was supposed to hit my RH account, I get an insuffiecent funds notification. The Wife moved those funds to a savings account. Best financial "mistake" ever! I was trying to buy ETH around $3000 a coin. It's under $2000 now

    Dude... you REALLY want to get out of RH if you can. They are fucking people over in a big way. They're basically a front for Citadel in order to control order flow. That's how they're "free".

    If you're not paying for it, then you are what is being sold.

    They also front run the trades (not RH, but they pump order data to the oligarchs that do, HI CITADEL) to eat up the margin between what you're willing to pay and what's being offered.

    This is especially true since they take a _huge_ spread on it.

    It's gonna go up, and I think sooner rather than later. But I'm seeing all these WSB posts like "hodl until 10M" or some crazy shit, and you just know there's gonna be people losing everything on this

    They announced a new NFT platform under development to facilitate digital trading. They could very well replace Steam if they do it right.

    I dropped an email into them to see if they wanted some help.
