Squatting, to an extend. Toke should fair well long term, but current HNS value doesn't reflect or impact the auction process much. Now is the time to buy and flip for 10x/100x on the secondary market. Anything bought above 1000 HNS should be done expecting long term hold or quick flip at 2x.

90s-2000s Japanese cars. Most are on/will be on Haegertys list of cars that appreciate annually. I drive them for 5-10k miles and either park them or sell them. So far I have a 2000 Honda S2000, a 1995 MR2 Turbo, a 1990 Nissan 300zx, and a 1996 Mazda RX7. I’m debating on cashing out a little bit of my LINK stack to buy a widebody NSX (pictured). It’s a fun hobby and a good way to make side money while having the ability to drive different unique cars. My last flip I bought an S2000, put 25k miles on it and sold it for $2500 more than I bought it 5 years later. If you know what cars to buy you can capitalize on their appreciation.

I’m not extremely familiar with the prelude line but I think Honda made an exceptional car in the 90s. Did every 5th gen come with VTEC? The varaiable timing on my AP1 S2000 with a 9k redline is orgasmic. Love me a good Honda.

Too new for me, but you are correct, this will one day be a vehicle that appreciated in value annually. I think it still has some time before it’s as drastic as many JDM 90s cars.

Handshake is a decentralized, permissionless naming protocol; differs from other naming coins out there (ESN, NMC, unstoppable domains etc) in that they are offering actual top level domains, so .whatever / the protocol has been in the making for a year or two, but went live a few months ago. TLDsFirst year sees all names (TLDs) released for auction. Namebase is the normie friendly way for buying HNS and participating in auctions. They opened up the secondary resellers market a few weeks back.

You’re correct my friend. Like I said, too new for me though. Looks too normal as well imo

So I am basically registering top domains (.com) on Handshake, then I can trade the domain on a secondary market (namebase)? I’m assuming domains are bought and paid for in Handshake tokens?

I would go through all your fluids before starting, especially your oil and coolant. Replace all your filters and if there’s old gas in it, syphon it out and refill with premium. Your tires may be starting to dry rot if they sat in the same spot. For the first 500 miles I wouldn’t put it in VTEC, let the engine burn a tank or two of good gas and let the fluids cycle. You’ll probably need a tune up kit as well (spark plugs, rotor, rotor cap, injectors, etc). It’s a Honda though, so you’ve got the best possible chance of it running lol. Never mess with Japanese/Chinese 90s engineering, they don’t build them like they used to these days that’s for certain.

I do a lot of the work myself and anything I can’t do goes to one of my tenants who owns a racing team so unfortunately I haven’t hired a mechanic in years. If you bring it to a dealer/shop they will likely rape you with labor costs. You could try a smaller “mom and pop” shop, there’s a few around me in Chicago that specialize in older cars. Just search around online, read reviews and if you’re really in doubt, sign up for a forum and ask group members what to do. Car forum junkies will know everything and anything about the car, including the best places to service it.

A lot of the use cases for these are yet to be determined. For example .js got auctioned for close to 150K HNS, a little below 18K USD at current value. Imagine just linking to the domain to pull in the package, start doing <script src='https://somelib.js/' /> in web pages. That is just one obvious example. Being able to link a name to a wallet address is an obvious other one. A lot of the auctions are going for next to nothing, as they are 24/7 and not that many folks buying in bulk. I'm just getting in early and will re evaluate how handshake has been doing a year from now.

>>19299146
If you have the table, amplifier and speakers to go with it, yeah. Consider the degradation of a copy of a copy, especially with the more obscure records that no longer have a master / are to expensive to get re-mastered, jazz/reggae/funk/folk/country etc. So there's some rare recordings you'll want to focus on if you're buying to invest. Very early electronics (50s/60s) should hold up well too. Anything released (not a re-release) in the 90s as well, such as hiphop, as they are limited pressings, with CDs being king back then.

Before 76 all recordings are analogue. When you convert this to digital you get losses, unless you use ridicolous formats. Any digital reproduction of pre 76 music you hear on say CD or spotify is lossy.

I buy Jazz from the 50s and 60s on vinyl for this reason. Lady Gaga I listen to on Spotify, buying vinyl for digitally recorded music makes no sense to me but when Miles Daivs recored Volume 2 in 1956 Spotify wasn't invented and that's why I own the record.

That's mostly bullshit. You put a freshly pressed vinyl record under the needle once, and the wear will roll off more detail than encoding at 320kb/s mp3 will.
Old recordings were mastered on magnetic tape because you can actually edit it. 7 inch per second tape is pretty good for analog, even back in the day, and it wears far less per play than a record, but it's (was) expensive. So you'd record to tape, then get a record die made and punch out cheap as shit records. A record was always an inexpensive way to listen. They have a high amount of noise, a narrow frequency range, and wear quickly.
The only reason to prefer a record today is to avoid loudness war bullshit when there's no other option. Even with newer songs which were primarily released to CD, sometimes the record release inexplicably has a less crunched dynamic range even though CD audio is capable of far more dynamic range than a record is. Fucking studio cunts and their insistence on loud = good.

the Red Schoendienst baseballs were signed back in the early '90s when he still had a good signature. the ones currently being sold dont look good. I have no idea how much I could get. the reason memorabilia is so undervalued is because there are so many fakes out there its impossible to tell what is real and fake. all of these balls I got signed in person through a friend who used to play professional baseball so they mean more to me than I'd get for them.

If there was a way to "prove" all of these were indeed real, I'd say this lot would sell for a few thousand. a lot of the guys who signed these balls are dead now
