I just bought $200,000 of Bitcoin
tomazbodner replied to Pravda's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
BTC has been around many years and early adopters might have made a lot on it. That first pizza place that accepted it, for instance. But the crazy growth of the past is now just that... in the past. Will it grow again? There are some people who still believe in it and will think that this is just a temporary setback, so surely it will. Will it drop again? Most likely it will, when yet another exchange gets hacked or exposed for dubious practices and possibly goes broke, wiping customers' entire crypto holdings. Unlike physical assets, or actual earnings from companies that trade stocks, crypto valuations are in large portion valued based on trust and mood. So if trust vanishes, they are worth nothing. In the not so distant past, there was a lot of trust in crypto as a whole, based on strong growth and greed. But series of setbacks and scandals have seriously damaged it, and drop in value eroded it further. While I see blockchain technology infiltrating more and more processes, I just can not see current crypto currencies going anywhere near the historic heights. -

Yes, you bought at $44,544.86 and it's now worth $16,895.27. You needed good luck but unless you already sold it, that good luck didn't really find you. On the plus side.. your $200k is still worth $76k. Though it might be worth even far less if another crypto exchange goes bust. -
There was only one and that was destroyed near Kyiv. But - Antonov promised to rebuild the plane as they have an unfinished fuselage for the second plane that was never completed, and salvaged some parts from the destroyed one. It'll take several years after end of war in Ukraine before you see Mriya take to the skies again. PS: There's very few people in this cargo plane. Just a few crew.

What is the cleanest and nearest beach located near Bangkok?

Or they'll get attacked and abused ???? -
Shortcomings need to be now gotten somewhere else as billions from foreigners won't come in. Maybe a 10x tax increase on land ownership on horizon? Or blame foreigners and force those on long term visas to make substantially higher investments/deposits in banks? Maybe something even more creative only a greedy gazillionnaire could have dreamed up. Countries don't start selling off the land because they have nothing better to do, but to get cash to top up empty coffers.

Phuket tourism leaders want cheaper domestic flights to help tourism
tomazbodner replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I don't think flight prices are a problem. The taxi mafia costs a lot more than airfares. Why not start there? -
Welcome to Thailand, rookie. Surely you can complain, but if you get cops to actually engage, next loud music might be at your funeral. Seriously - never... NEVER make a Thai lose face. It may cost you your life.

True but Windows 11 doesn't come with digital license for Windows 10 AFAIK so when Windows 10 is installed it'll ask for it to be activated, for which OP will have to buy Windows 10 license (although likely a cheap Lazada license would do).
-
Your notebook might have Windows 11 only drivers, so while majority should still work fine, you might get into trouble with some devices unsupported. Replacing SSD would likely break warranty stickers and by that void warranty. As the old notebook had different processor, graphics, sound card, chipset, etc. you may be in for a rather large disappointment in terms of performance and stability. And since the hardware changes, you'll be forced to buy a new Windows 10 license unless you had bought it before as a box (not OEM or preinstalled on old laptop). What's bothering you about Windows 11?

Which standard is Thailand's safety standard? Surely not the WHO standard. And what are people supposed to do when they are alerted that the air pollution is exceeding Auschwitz gassing chambers' air quality? I have a panoramic view towards West of Bangkok and EVERY DAY I can see many plumes of smoke across horizon all around Bangkok. There's a really visible, maybe 2-3 km tall tower of pollution right over the horizon in grayish brownish tone all over the city. How many illnesses and deaths is this causing? Yet all that is done is talk talk talk and no action, despite the situation getting worse every year. Maybe Thailand's government should be allowed to be sued like the European governments for failing to do their jobs. https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/09/27/europes-fight-for-clean-air-german-government-latest-to-be-sued-over-toxic-pollution

Surely all extensions by the officers who worked on those criminals will be scrutinized, then probably many others checked with demands to see all conditions were fulfilled, before some draconian measures are added to conditions. Wonder how it'll go down for those who don't meet requirements and are using agents to arrange stuff upcountry...

Was informed a couple of months back. Nothing changes. CardX is owned by SCB, just spinned off to a separate entity, still fully owned by SCB. According to the restructuring plan of The Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited (the “Bank”), which the Bank announced on 22 September 2021, the Bank will transfer certain types of the Bank’s credit card business and personal loan business to Card X Company Limited (“CardX”), which is a company in the same group as the Bank, and which has been authorized to operate a credit card business and personal loan business. Such transfer of certain types of credit card and personal loan business to CardX will become effective on 10 December 2022 (the “Business Transfer Date”) after the approval from the relevant authorities has been obtained. (If there is any change in the Business Transfer Date, the Bank will notify you accordingly.) Subrogation of Rights by the Transfer of the Credit Card Service Agreement, and the Transfer of the Claims under such Agreement By this letter, the Bank and CardX would like to inform you of the subrogation of rights by the transfer of the aforementioned credit card service agreement to CardX, and the transfer of the claims under such agreement, including the subrogation of rights to be the insured person and/or beneficiary (as the case may be) in the place of the Bank, in the case that you hold a life insurance policy, the main benefits of which will be paid for the outstanding debt of the aforementioned credit card(s) to the Bank - regardless of whether the Bank is the insured person and/or beneficiary under such life insurance policy. This will be effective from the Business Transfer Date onwards. Therefore, from the Business Transfer Date, CardX will become the service provider of the aforementioned products to you. Any statements referring that such products belong to the Bank (in all channels) shall be regarded as the products of CardX. CardX is to be subrogated as the counterparty in the place of the Bank from the Business Transfer Date onwards, and you can continue to use such products from CardX. In this regard, CardX would like to notify you of the changes made to the terms and conditions of certain related products and services as specified in this letter. Communication channel via LINE Official Account: @cardxthailand CardX has developed a communication channel with you via LINE Official Account: @cardxthailand for the purpose of checking the relevant information, such as product information, news, benefits, and reward points. You can add the LINE Official Account: @cardxthailand

Usually overstay isn't a problem... unless it is. Like you take a taxi and he bumps another car, police asks for your passport... So paying fine on leaving without much or any consequences only works if you make it safely to the immigration at the airport. If you get caught anywhere else, it won't be the same. That said - I've only been asked to see passport and checked visa once in 25 years+. At the back of motorbike, very near Makkasan Airport Link station.
