is anyone interested in a non-memer skype group to discuss strategy and actual finance/economics?
none of this sick stock picks-i have no idea what financial statements or valuation is bullshit that is rampant all over this board. no crypto shills, no penny stocks or anyone that would even consider these things serious investments. no fags that would recommend buying something just because it looks like the price is low on a chart.
rules would be no retards, only people with actual money in the market and serious interest in investing. additions to the group would be prescreened and adding people who want to learn would come after a solid base is formed.
you'd have a better chance with this on reddit. Veeky Forums is full of either uninformed newfriends or actual competent people, but, who are too high/drunk out of their minds to contribute anything useful and are simply here just for a laugh
Easton Torres
Would be interested. Rather do telegram than skype though

Wyatt Bailey
Its just badly phrased, I think he means: none-of-this-sick-stock-picks-i-have-no-idea-what-financial-statements-or-valuation-is bullshit

Telegram is a secure instant messaging app. Works well for groups and is anonymous.
Noah Roberts
Let's do Telegram.
Post your usernames and let's get a group going, fuckos
Camden Moore
>is anonymous. They want (require) a phone number; this isn't anonymous.
Next.
William King
google hangouts
someone start the link and i will probably join l8tr
Grayson Mitchell
>They want (require) a phone number; this isn't anonymous.
It's not displayed to anyone dumbass.
It IS anonymous. The phone number is if you want people to talk to you only who know your number(as in your irl friends) and strangers can't add you and talk to you.
You create a username and search for people that way. It's a great chat app, use it
Aaron Jackson
Its still not anonymous I don't want some random company having my phone number.
>At Telegram we think that the two most important components of Internet privacy should be instead:
Protecting your private conversations from snooping third parties, such as officials, employers, etc. Protecting your personal data from third parties, such as marketers, advertisers, etc. This is what everybody should care about, and these are some of our top priorities. Telegram is a non-commercial project with an aim to create a truly free messenger, without the usual caveats. This means that instead of diverting public attention with low-impact settings, we can afford to focus on the real privacy issues that exist in the modern world.
Eli King
Its just fluff if they valued privacy they would make phone numbers optional.
Chase Reed
>swallowing the kool aid wholesale

Lucas Jones
>tries to get a group going >makes BS rules because "muh opinions" >cant even figure out the right platform
Night Veeky Forums! Let's do this again real soon.

"Hey guys we value your privacy, so even though we want your passport info, a scan of your birth certificate, SSN, two bills, driver's licence, and a picture of your face and signature, it's okay because we don't share it with anybody!" Yeah righto
Austin Wright
>Being this paranoid about your phone number
Robert Wood
You don't even need to provide a phone number to make a gmail man, come on.
Joseph Adams
R/economics is worse than just about anywhere
Andrew Barnes
Except gmail admits to spying on your emails
Joshua Wood
Indeed. If a company with no regard for your privacy doesn't demand a phone number, why should one that does? Conclusion: these people don't care about your privacy at all, less than google in fact.
Logan Brooks
There has to be some way for the app to identify the users unless you want anons only. Nobody can even access it, so what is all this whining about? Are you scared that your irrelevant phone number is stored anonymously on some random server? Newsflash, nobody gives a shit and its not connected to your name or identity in any way.
Jace Price
>There has to be some way for the app to identify the users unless you want anons only. How about a username which you can create? Fairly sure these have been around a while. For instance on gmail.
Thomas Martinez
Then you will have a shit ton of bots on the app and you cant access anything after a switching phones. Don't you realize that phone numbers that are not connected to your name are completely useless? Anybody can just randomly dial numbers, random phone numbers without any background information have no value to anyone.
Luis Barnes
Anyone who claims to be looking out for your privacy demanding your personal details be they phone numbers or otherwise is very strange to me. Surely someone interested in your privacy would give you the option not to divulge your phone number?
Andrew Rodriguez
Telegram isn't a for-profit company though.
Also the 'secret chats' use end to end encryption, so even if it was stored on their server it would be useless.
Keep in mind telegram is entirely Free and Opensource other than the network code
Joseph King
I still don't see why there is a reason to require a phone number
Evan Nelson
Are you able to read at all? Bots and verifying identity.
Jeremiah Hernandez
Maybe to verify your identity?
Why are you so autistic about your phone number? Tons of people use telegram, it's opensource, it's fine.
Unless you're sending CP or are an ISIS terrorist...(speaking of which, a lot of ISIS uses telegram)
Leo Lopez
I just use a lot of racism and crude jokes that make me question whether or not I'm actually joking. I also break HIPAA a lot :^)
Ryder Richardson
>I also break HIPAA a lot :^)
fuck you i'm always self conscious about that stuff
Isaac Johnson
MAKE A FUCKING TELEGRAM GROUP FAGITS. POST YOUR USERNAMES
Jace Ramirez
>Maybe to verify your identity? It's a privacy app. Handing over my identity defeats the purpose of privacy. Why would I as a person seeking privacy, subject myself in that process to an invasion of my privacy!? It's fucking retarded.
Robert Rivera
It's not used for anything dumbass.
What are you hiding exactly? Your mountain of CP?
Lucas Hernandez
Jesus christ, how retarded are you? Think about how useful an instant messaging app would be if you lose all your contacts and chat history every time you change phones or reinstall the app.
Juan Peterson
>Jesus christ, how retarded are you? Think about how useful an instant messaging app would be if you lose all your contacts and chat history every time you change phones or reinstall the app. Err What's wrong with a user-generated username exactly? There are millions of apps which let you keep contacts and chat histories without requiring a phone number. I don't see how it's a requirement. If you don't want an anonymous IM program then fine, but don't lie and say this shit is. Also kill yourself.
Cooper Martin
I only reveal first name, user :^)
Robert Wilson
>What are bots? >What is forgetting your password? >Millions of apps that let you keep your chat history without requiring some kind of identification I think we are done here
