Bitcoin Is Over $7,200!

Tough to say, at these levels Bitcoin miners have to be taking a beating. I'm still looking for alt-coin opportunities,

I'm out of the loop. Which ones are you looking at?

I remember my buddy telling me a while back about kucoin. I think it was less than a dollar and he was like it's going to go up like binance which already went up like 1000%. I didn't buy it and sure enough kucoin went up more than 1,000%. I havn't talked to him in a while.

Great article, very long, in the WSJ today about a guy who got ripped off by Bitcoin and tracked down the bit chain.....only took him 3-years to arrest the guy, but of course, its all in bankruptcy court. And we are to believe the CIA knows that Russia colluded with Trump??


"Kim Nilsson was seething. It was 2014, and the software engineer discovered someone had disabled access to his bitcoins. A crime had apparently been committed, one that the police seemed unable to comprehend, much less solve.

The coins went missing from a failed bitcoin exchange called Mt. Gox, and hundreds of investors found themselves demoralized, if not broke. More than $400 million had seemingly vanished into cyberspace.

Unlike many victims, Mr. Nilsson resolved to fight back, and he teamed up with a lawyer and another partner who also lost bitcoins to track down the culprits. What ensued was a three-year journey through the internet’s underbelly that ended last summer on a Greek beach. There, in the shadow of a 1,000-year-old monastery, FBI agents arrested a Russian man and charged him with laundering bitcoin worth some $4 billion at recent exchange rates, one of the biggest crimes to be alleged in the brief history of cryptocurrencies.

The rip-offs represent just one of the threats now facing bitcoin, which has electrified the financial world with its promise of a decentralized, anonymous payment system intended to render banks obsolete.

Anonymity is evaporating as people transact on big, centralized exchanges that collect detailed user data—and provide it to government investigators. Speculators have driven huge price fluctuations that make bitcoin unviable as a currency and dangerous as an investment."

Aurora. It's holding even with the market tanking, pretty interesting project. I may buy 2 ETHs and swap for the AOA coins.

A lot is happening. Mostly bread and circuses ... looks like the web is going to be trimmed back with an AI model perhaps. Most web sites are just circus these days ... its ok, I feel half zombie zyborg already or is that my wife? Anything goes it seems with memes. I feel short changed by this world in many ways - surrounded by so much sentimental feelings for most of my life may leave me at a disadvantage for any future with whats is unfolding here in the theater called our world.

Im a fish out of water and maybe fish in a barrel or maybe, just maybe I slide into home base with a big cherry on my side, but safe and score.

US Treasuries or Coinbase USD balance? How much to convert? Custody is different.

Manual spellcheck is a good way to look at your performance from memories past.

But I digressed maybe a half a light year ago.

What's going on with the alts?

I only keep tabs on a few charts but ETH looks like in big trouble.
