It's like watching someone come down from a high. Technically they are doing just that. They get pretty intense, very demanding, can't handle the calmness and relatively (to the stupid show they just watched) quiet environment. An

Every minute a kid watches a stupid Netflix kids show is a wasted minute they can be stimulating their brain positively instead of numbing it with manufactured industrialized content. Having said that my kids do get a couple hours on the we

One could argue the exact opposite - that all the infrastructure around Bitcoin makes it an inferior store of value. For example, the fact that Litecoin does not (yet) have ETFs and other financial vehicles that can be used to manipulate it

You could have just asked before writing this entire comment. One of the men was holding a knife. As simple as that.

Luckily for them it didn't have to go that far, but he did pull it and they immediately took off. He then got in his car and called the police to report what happened.

Nope. People use Facebook. People simply don't use Bitcoin for payments or any other use that benefits from its "network effect".

This right there is exactly why long term it's doomed and cannot be a reliable store of value. You don't see banks and random geeks inventing new precious metals out of thin air. So you have gold, silver, platinum and palladium an

Just FYI and very anecdotal, I know a guy who was confronted in the parking lot after a bitcoin meetup by 2 guys demanding that he send some coins to their wallet. Be careful at those meetups.

Doesn't matter one single bit. Goldman Sachs can't mine gold and control its physical supply, but they sure can play with its market price. So they can drive down the futures price and then hoard physical bullion on the cheap if t

So much for the promised currency / store-of-value that can't be manipulated by banks / governments.

If anything will be done by the US government to try and serve a deadly blow to cryptocurrencies, it will be them using a terror attack "funded by Bitcoin" as pretext to raid a large US exchanger and seize assets. There is a great

The bubble part of it is not their meteoric rise, it's that they can easily be replaced by the next best coin. There is no inherent reason why Bitcoin should be more popular than Litecoin as a store of value, except for the fact that i

If there is one thing the last 8 years have shown us - it doesn't matter at what point you get in. But Litecoin in particular has had crazy corrections in the past. There are also many LTC hodlers from when it was pennies on the dollar

Litecoin is the new Bitcoin. People are realizing there is nothing special about Bitcoin, and I'm saying this as a HODLer. Stores of value will come and go. Bitcoin will eventually lose its supremacy. It's not like people use it a

So you must also think you should pay the same car insurance premium as a guy who gets DUI's every couple of years and runs red lights? People who do not take care of their own bodies burden the system significantly more than people wh
