Good morning Bitcoinland.
The battle for $8k continues... currently $7969USD/$10555SAD (Bitcoinaverage).
Seems like only last week we were battling for $10k. Oh yeah, it was just last week.
Shit happens. Hopefully I won't have to buy any fiat for month-end expenses.
Go Bitcoin go.
I think Schlitzie was a guy.
Indeed. Born Sept 10, 1901 in the Bronx possibly as Simon Metz but dressed and billed as a woman for theatrical reasons.
In Todd Browning's "Freaks" she was always referred to as a female but later in life he was billed as a male. I still remember the barker's spiel: "Schlitzie is here! Schlitzie wants to see you! Is he a man or is he a monkey? He has a head shaped like a a coconut... turned upside down!" She still wore the pretty little frocks though.
IRL he was pretty androgynous. Apparently those close to her called her "he" and "she" interchangeably. She always struck me as more feminine than masculine so this is why I called him "she".
It seems strange in this age when people think they can choose their "gender" by what they identify with, that there was a time when it was chosen by other people.
