So these days US bans bitcoin while China and Russia unban bitcoin. Its a BRICS world in the making. Crazy how there is an Inverse Cramer ETF yet the bitcoin ETF was always tantalizingly too risky (or whatever flaky garbage was peddled to the public).
This move by the SEC is meant to precipitate legislation from an absolutely inept congress, not that I care to delve into US politics... And soon the Fed will be up for their next chicken-Wednesday. Rates will pause and maybe inflation will be "behind us". Most cannot digest the fact that a decrease in the rate of inflation is still inflation, and that is why I love the corn.
Re: Old people in bitcoin
I always thought Jimbo was an old timer on here, but maybe not quite 77 . I have been on here lurking and otherwise for a bit, and always felt relatively young. OpSec regarding a/s/l always wigged me out so never wanted to dive into much detail. I've seen others on here unintentionally dox themselves, and think its correlated with age.
We might not need to give any exact age, but it still can be helpful to understand a sort of age group ...
I'll give you a hint of my age as you like to collect data on us, I'm one of the first 4 IBM and Apple factory certified peops in my state.
I already have some ideas about your specific age range and some of you bad jokes/stories from the past.
Why am I thinking that you had a motorcycle accident and you had been recovering.. and if so, then How's your recovery coming along.. from your old-foggie riding a motorcycle too much (beyond your expiration date)... I must truly be misremembering you and some other member.. but maybe not.. ? I cannot remember.
It's not like I focus on trying to remember these kinds of member details.
So I am just saying that a member might say some thing that then reminds me of some other previous post that s/he made, and we all seem to have patterns in our posts and so sometimes we repeat stories or lame jokes or sometimes we will tell stories in such a way that tell more about ourselves through the way that we tell the story/joke rather than the subject matter of the story/joke.. ..
Like maybe a member like you might posts something like this:
"That reminds me of a cool spring morning that I walked into a store to pick up a few items, and then when I went to the check out, there was a guy who looked just like that picture that had just been posting and so I was purchasing my beer, eggs and salad dressing the teller saw what I was getting and he made a joke about farts, and I told him that if he did not wipe that 6-year old shit eating grin off of his face, I would shove the eggs up his ass.. and then pour the beer and salad dressing over his shit/farts."
hahahahaha.. that's the kind of stories that Hueristic.. likes to tell. .and sorry that I mix your subject matter preferences up with sirazimuth since he's the one who seems to get so much bonus pleasures out of the inclusion of farts within any story / joke.
