Not sure if this was already posted, please don't kill the messenger as i don't agree with lots of these points.
However, this shows where institutional investors (aka hedgies) are on this.

In short: institutionals are shell-shocked and bewildered.
My take home message from this particular tweetstorm: small size institutional money will not participate from now on.
TL;DR she predicts that, similarly to how internet happened, blockchain will eat the world, but somehow traditional players (Fidelity, Paypal, etc) would be the winners and we would be the losers.
I disagree, obviously.

I'm starting to wonder if JJG is gonna PM me a BTC address for a beer, after all that... 
Are you talking to me?
You come off as such a publicity pussy who largely wants to engage in exaggeration drama?
and try to blame me for your phoney baloney.
In other words, my name is blawb, and "I need some attention."

No, I wasn't interested in the blowjob either. Maybe a coffee. I don't like large gatherings - they make me uncomfortable - but I'm otherwise quite sociable and friendly.
Crowd mentality is sincerely one of the scariest things I've ever experienced. Makes you feel like the young Samba in a stampede of wildebeest.

Whisky I mostly enjoy for exploring what the fuck is going on with taste buds.
Anything in particular that you'd recommend? I'd like to up my whiskey tasting game a bit.
I'm quite fond of Caol Ila 12/18 which is peaty, but not as much as Laphroaig, and with a buttery/oily mouth feel that I quite appreciate.
My favourite whisky (so far with my limited experience) would be a Glenmorangie Signet though, which is quite sweet and actually has easily discernible notes of toffee, chocolate and less obvious coffee that you don't normally find in whisky.
As far as non-scotch goes, Japanese whiskies that I enjoyed were any Hibiki, Yamazaki, and Nikka Coffey Grain. They're much tamer than scotch, but interesting drinks nonetheless.
Haven't really played with American whiskies yet, but Maker's Mark is quite nice and very cheap.
Russel's Reserve Single Barrel Rye is a good one. And then there's options like Woodford Reserve and Wild Turkey 101... American staples that are quite nice.Not into the really peaty stuff for whiskey, I like something in between with a hint of sweetness. Although I'm not much of a drinker anymore, had to give up weekly drinking about 5 years ago. Now I just like to taste something good and pure now and then, especially around the holidays.

BTC will replace fiat. Alts will become modern equity.
Pandemic of airborne down syndrome in this thread. You have complete shit for brains pump and dump scammers not only claiming bitcoin has a 0% chance of failure now, but both a 0% chance of failure and *guaranteed* to become the world reserve currency HAHAHA. It's not even possible to create a decentralized digital currency in the first place (transaction validators are always designed to centralize), so it already went to $20k on zero fundamentals like some type of dotcom bubble pump and dump scam.
The odds of it becoming the world reserve currency on zero fundamentals besides temporary regulatory arbitrage is a joke. It has non-existent fundamentals vs physical metals. Shitcoins aren't even fungible so don't qualify as money in the first place, nor is it possible to create a fungible one even if you tumble them because you have central bankers posing under the pseudonym "developer" constantly trying to alter the protocol just like fiat central bankers.
Money does not transform at random from one thing to another due to some basement nerd pretending to be god trying to impose his will on others. If it does, it's not money. It's just a centrally administered system of control.

Does your GF go to gay bars? Do the words "pit pat piffy wing wong" mean anything to you?
How can anyone forget? A post for the ages.
Seems like just yesterday.

Statistically speaking you probably still drink more than me. I prefer the herb. Whisky I mostly enjoy for exploring what the fuck is going on with taste buds.
Hmmm, @BTCMILLIONAIRE...
"Whisky" spelled without an E.
BTC fan.
Are you the originator of the term 'hodl'? Does your GF go to gay bars? Do the words "pit pat piffy wing wong" mean anything to you?
Just curious.
P.S. Will respond to JJG later. Too drunk for so many words right now.

Ah, a topic close to my heart! Costco has Lagavulin 16 on sale, or at least they did last week... Bottle's still half full! Hard to be pesimistic with a well aged, Islay single malt so close at hand.
If'n you've never tried an Islay single malt you may want to start with a Laphroaig 10yo with a splash of distilled water.
That's what got me really hooked on whisky though. I was curious to see if there was really something to all the flamboyant and over the top tasting notes that you see everywhere and bought 10 bottles of different scotches to figure out if the deal is real. It is. Who would've guessed that you have to actually buckle down to "learn" tasting.

Yellow vests say:
XhomerX needed for inspection
No strange artifacts so it seems legit. I went back to the one you posted the other day and found the original image from twitter - it also seems legit. Sorry to have misled everyone!
The yellow vests are with us
Yeah its the same green BTC HAT as well

besides bitcoin and ETH, you can not sit in anything in a falling market
ETC could not stand the bearish trend and announced the termination of the activities of one of its groups of developers
