Hearted Youtube comments on The Plain Bagel (@ThePlainBagel) channel.

  1. It should be noted that the infrastructure built in the bubble is what provided the systems necessary for mass adoption. All that selling of networking and storage allowed cloud services to become a thing. I'm using a lot of shorthand here, but I used to work at a consulting firm called Wikibon, and we studied this at length. Basically, if the internet grew organically, we would still be years behind on network infrastructure, which would have made things like CDNs (like YouTube or twitch) impossible until recently.

  3. 11:25 Yeah, why does no one copy the queen of england's investment strategy of being born into the royal family? We're clearly all thinking too small

  4. His YouTube channel has free finance courses, people will charge you thousands of dollars for 10% of what he is giving free on YouTube. True legend. I learnt a lot about corporate finance from him.

  5. Outstanding explanation. I wish this was around when I was 20. I will definitely be sharing this with my 19 year old daughter.

  6. After working for several failed upstart tech companies I landed a job with Nortel in 1998. I can still remember picking up my ID badge. Finally! (I thought) I'm working for some one who knows what they are doing! Dooh :(

  7. Noooo you just don't understand that Tesla will build a Dyson Sphere around the sun by 2025 and should therefore have a fair value of 100 quadrillion dollars by mid decade. You just don't understand "technology" smh
    556
  8. Yes! A video on quantitative tightening would be nice :). Though honestly, I don't really care what your next video is on, they've all been great.

  9. Richard who runs an investing channel: I wont claim that I'm better than the market Other investing channels: Wait. That's illegal.

  10. That Coffeezilla guy is just going to miss out! I hope he has fun staying poor!

  11. Calm and collected view on the situation. Thank you very much for what you provide to people not accustomed to the US regulatory system.

  12. If you are wondering why the Spanish stocks used 1/8 fractions of a dollar. It was because the Spanish dollar coin could be divided into eight pieces, and each piece or 'bit' would have one eighth the value of a dollar, because it had one eighth of the metal value in the coin. It led to other colloquialisms like "pieces of eight" or "two bits" to refer to a quarter. Because other metal coin currencies in Europe, like the UK and France, were subject to debasement by the crown, and the Spanish dollar kept its silver content unaltered, it had the best reputation at the time that the American dollar was created. So the American dollar used the Spanish dollar as its model and kept some of the properties of the Spanish dollar.

  13. As an investment professional who knows a little bit about art, this seems a very fair appraisal. Good to see someone do the leg work to prove what everyone suspected. Great work!

  14. "Even if you can't invest right now, at least start learning about it" This and the following statements made me subscribe. I can't invest much money right now, but you got me with this idea. I can still use the time I have now to learn about it, so I can have a stronger start and reduce the potential losses due to inexperience when I can actually invest money. I've been busy investing my time in myself and my qualifications, but there's no reason not to aim for more. Thanks!

  15. I've made an absurd amount of money in options. I've also lost it all because of options. Lol

  16. Two true financial pros that have blessed the platform - congrats to the both of you on your success!

  18. One of the best Finance/Investing youtubers out there
    510
  19. This is legit one of the best finance channels out there.

  20. I can't stress how underrated this channel is. You get entertainment and knowledge at the same time. Thank you for putting great content out there (and all without flaunting your investing account, imagine that).

  21. thanks for the chat, I really enjoyed it!!!!

  22. I really appreciate you covering this topic Richard. Being paid to promote a stock is probably the single biggest conflict of interest you could create for financial influencers. I think it destroys the credibility of the entire space. I think it also is problematic in that it invites a lot more strict regulation, which could impact our ability to freely discuss stocks in the future. To be clear - I've never been paid a dime to promote a stock and will never accept a penny to do so. I've also decided to never invest in micro-crap companies specifically because I don't want my videos to have an impact on stock price. POET is one of the worst examples of abuse. That company was headed towards bankrupcy, burning tons of cash every quarter, cash balance going down, debt going up. Then they pay for the pump. Looking at the share count grow 60% year over year, that's absolutely insane and shows they clearly paid to get stock price pump so they could sell shares into the pump. About as clear-cut as it gets... Again, appreciate the video - I'm going to be sharing it.

  23. "Doing your own research and rigorously testing your own viewpoint" You're asking for a lot from me here Richard hah
    462
  24. Best intro, we require more of these in the future. The benchmark has been set.
    454
  25. That post-confetti clarity as crazy
    450
  26. Spoiler alert: he has his money all tied up in the bagel industry
    443
  27. I'm happy that I'm not the only one who thinks of Richard's kid(s) as "Bagel Bites" 😅
    442
  28. This dude deserves so much more attention on YouTube. I've been subbed for along time. And his videos always bring value. And it's free!
    437
  29. 0:17 I'm not sure that language was needed...
    437
  30. Bagel can you make a video explaining what happens to my subscription if your channel goes bankrupt?
    434
  31. I always hedge my bets when I put my money on black by also putting it on red
    425
  32. Yeah, yeah yeah, but is that neon sign available as an NFT?
    422
  33. It's a pipe dream for many, but even if you fail to achieve it, you'd still have saved more than you otherwise would have. So 'failure to FIRE' is much better than 'failure to save'

  34. after all, the stock market has predicted 9 of the last 5 recessions.

  35. I think this might be my favorite video you’ve done. Not only because it’s relatable for me, but it’s always frustrating to see the almighty algorithm push bad “investing” habits. I definitely can’t blame YouTube, since people like and engage with content like that though. But the moral of the story is what’s wise isn’t always what’s popular.

  36. "Hopefully it's starting to make a little bit of sense as to why people are buying and selling these things." No. No, sir, it is not.

  37. But hear me out for a second here... what if we put the Szechuan Sauce... on the plain bagel? Does this increase it's value? Or is it now worthless because the sauce has been opened and the bagel is no longer plain... Someone's gotta be asking these questions.
    411
  38. i think the "de" bit of defi is less about total decentralization and more like "just decentralized enough to let me as an early adopter squeeze into the center of a new system" another fair and based take from the bagel

  39. Youtube can detect 2 seconds of a Led Zeppelin song playing on a car passing by in the background but can't weed out these obvious bots

  40. You already have my respect, don't worry your IKEA furniture doesn't throw me off, it shows that you are not trying to act rich to get attention. And with that mentality you it makes me more confident that what you say is genuine and reliable information. Thank you for yourself :)

  41. I thought I was watching a video of a million subscriber channel - how does this guy only have 38k? Amazing content! Subbed
    396
  42. These animations are sooo high quality man! I should start trying this.
    395
  43. Great interview, and thanks for the shout out at the end. I have been a subscriber to Money & Macro for a few months and would strongly recommend the channel.

  44. I don't usually comment on videos but this is really true. Especially in this world full of ads and instant gratification mentality. “Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas.” -Paul Samuelson

  45. You're providing a service for the less financially educated my dude! Thanks for the breakdown!
    384
  46. Thanks for the great conversation! Great timing of this release as I finally finished the inflation video we talked about 😃.

  47. I’m an AI scientist that trains LLMs, and you did a great job explaining LLMs. One minor nitpick is that the blobs showing parameter size at 6:49 isn’t correct. Idk why that image spread all over the internet, but OpenAI didn’t release the number of parameters for GPT4 like they did for previous versions. We know that has either the same parameter size or just a moderate amount more. It’s certainly not nearly as large as the image says. Other things like dataset size, data cleaning, and larger token sequence size probably accounts for improvements more than any parameter increase. The small and large blobs have become a bit of a meme/joke among AI researchers. I really enjoy your videos, especially the party poopers!

  48. Oh no, you said corona virus... Prepare for the demonetization.
    372
  49. Seriously, Richard, your videos are the best. Your even-handedness and open mind are exactly the kind of 'free' not-professional-advice professional advice anyone should expect from a place like YouTube. If they complain, tell them to hire a real consultant and see how much that costs them ;)

  50. That intro!!
