@sweatystartup Nick I'm 42. I was a professional endurance athlete. Almost all professional endurance athletes look much younger than their peers. Sat on plane with a 42 year old the other day, I could have been his son it was so stark. Doesn't not apply to hormone dopers.

It is sort of amazing to me that: $PYPL buying back shares, is going to do 29b in revs, $5 eps, and has a market cap of 67B while $COIN is unprofitable, diluting shareholders, will do 1.42b in revs, and has a market cap of 45b
