@JacobKinge actually a very good thing for btc
MSTR took investors who would or should have held BTC in cold storage personally
every few years we need a reminder that the invention is, itself, self custody value
@BTCWolvez Holding through the drawdown is not difficult if it's your first one. If it's your first one you should be excited to average in lower. It makes you sick when on each subsequent drawdown but the first one is actually great (or should be)
@_TOYPAJ_@PatOShea@kylematthewsceo Seinfeld went to Hammond in 2025
Unfortunately for Illinois artists get paid more in Indiana
maybe some acts need downtown to get their draw but if they don't and are selling anyways they can make more money
@brendenmoore13@chelseamorgomez@INCapChronicle A lot of people from Lake and Porter County staying at local hotels? doubtful
for out of town fans the hotel tax will be less than chicago, the food tax less than chicago and tickets approx the same
local residents would possibly feel the 1% additional restaurant tax
@Stanospeaks22@mrpapageorg1o@North2North Chicago has made terrible deals. (parking, skyway)
$5b for soldier field is fair and if bears want to do a $2b renovation they can
illinois eats the debt on the renovation bears get the south parking lot
deal is done
i would think the Bears would buy Soldier Field for $2b if the offer was there. and retire the debt. But the ISFA would then be one step closer to being irrelevant
they like that hotel tax. govt especially in illinois would never lower a tax or take one away. it's baked in.
the bears will go to Hammond. Sox will go to the south loop (or hammond)
and the soldier and guaranteed rate will be empty
@Stanospeaks22@North2North that's an ideal scenario but govt is traditionally not in the business of giving up assets like that
the fact that Obama Centwr got any public land whatsoever is almost a miracle
@Stanospeaks22@North2North they owe $500m on the renovation. they aren't good at it
the ISFA is hanging by a thread. Realistically in 5 years they'll still owe $500m on soldier and have a vacant guaranteed rate field.
