[- long and thoughtful response to various thread points]
I had been internally debating whether to send you more than one merit for your well thought out post - and part of my dilemma involved your not even mentioning bitcoin, therein... and for sure, there were several spots in which you could have mentioned it.. . Could you not just slip it in there.. just for funzies? Would have been nice to know how bitcoin potentially were to fit within all of that eloquent rantening. Call me a whiner, if you must...
Bitcoin is now the only global payment system that won’t discriminate against anyone, regardless of their race, nationality, religion, politics, or actions.
This is going to become incredibly important in the coming decades.”

Link or it didn't happen.
Oil price hits $125 per barrel.
They couldn't get rid of the stuff 2 years ago.
Hahhaha
Remember that short period of negative prices? Surprised even the most pundit of pundits to both see oil prices (futures I believe) go negative, but also to recognize that physical assets can have quite concrete costs, especially if the financial vehicle is actually including the requirement that whatever is purchased has to be delivered as well... even if the purchaser were to have a big yard and a swimming pool, it may well not have been large enough to "take delivery."

I gave you my last merit as an encouragement.
And I'll add a small piece of advice: if it's a tweet, paste a link too
This.
I like to encourage newbies too... but (big butt) just seems wrong when there is both sloppiness in the placement of quotes within the post (no quote in the beginning) and sloppiness in the showing where this quote took place.. sure, likely it came from a tweet, but why should we (the reader) have to go searching for it?... I am not always holding newbies to higher standards, either... but sometimes we might feel more ambiguity coming from a newbie account because we have not seen too many previous posts from such account.
