He who can't tell a true story of Laszlo's for himself has never been and could never be considered an early bitcoin adopter.
I think most of us here have a Laszlo story to tell.
But we are here

I personally bought a $100 amazon gift card for 3 BTC and thought I was smart.

those BFL singles were $1300...BTC was $13 at the time...you do the math
gonna set fire to Josh's dog and fuck his mom one day
To think I payed them 13 BTC for one of their pre-orders still annoys the shit out of me - then it arrives 6 months later.
The sea of blood is very bright today.

The Big Bang Theory episode happened. Anyone see it?
We're gonna rally hard for the next week starting tomorrow, then slow the roll until early June.
triple bottom, bout to move up soon.
OT : Conspiracy Theory of the Day - California Fires
Hmmm, let's see.... when the economy has a major downturn and people start struggling to pay their monthly bills, what is one monthly service bill that people think they can shed and get away with it?
Yep, you guessed it, it's their monthly Home Insurance payment.
And when this starts to happen nationwide by the hundreds of thousands, millions of citizens, the Insurance Megacorps overlords start to get very upset. Then as they start to lose even more money, they get desperate. How would the Insurance Megacorps go about putting the fear of God back into those citizens to sign back up for their home insurance?
Hmmm....maybe....mega fires....?? DEW?
Nah. Just coincidence, quack theory, blah blah.
Or...?
Why did 6 out of the 10 deadliest and costliest California fires in *history* happen just since 2015?
Direct energy weapons for sure, these aren't normal fires. This is the enemy at the front door to distract from the massive voter fraud going on in the US. Good short video from the SGT Report that I watched last night about these fires.

He is not short, but not long either and acknowledges that he might be wrong in his skepticism.
I think that he is wrong because bitcoin provides a standard/reference point, is apolitical and not 'owned' by a particular government plus could accelerate the commerce in due course.
Being neutral would make it resistant to the moves that he described, unless there is cooperation among G20.
What do you guys think?
Mick Mulvaney (pro-btc frmr congressman) will now become Trump's new chief of staff soon, so we'll be fine. Stairway to heaven coming back soon.
Funding rates to borrow $BTC on Bitfinex hitting 100%+ annualized. This funding has rippled to Bitmex as well.
At these rates, it takes a little over one month for a 10x short to get liquidated even if BTC doesn't move. A 50x short gets liquidated in under a week.

Trump wins Iowa caucus...lolol
I don't even know what that means.
It is the caucus, the pre election candidate selection process, of the other party.
Said other party, the Democrats, buggered up their own process but good.
The DNC came up w/ some App to supposedly count the caucus votes but it ended in an epic disaster. We need to go back to paper ballots only. No Apps or electronic systems that can be pre-engineered for predetermined outcomes or "whoopsie snafus" when they need to buy some time to put a fix in.
Bernie was gonna win big in IA and Biden's underwhelming performance was to be significant negative momentum moving forward. Enter whoopsie snafu! The democratic establishment doesn't want commie Bernie being their nominee cause he would ruin the image of their party for a whole election, not to mention lose the House and no shot at retaking the Senate.
The Mueller investigation went bust and impeachment is dead in the water, so the dems backs are against the wall. The stage is set for an historic landslide re-election by Donald Trump. If the dems lose the House, Trump is really gonna MAGA and fast. There's also a very significant criminal investigation going on by US Attorney John Durham involving FISA court abuse by many former high-level Obama officials and that's about to wrap up sometime in late spring or early summer. DC is on edge.
