All these incidents give more weight to the conspiracy theory that Bitcoin is a govt. or central-bank project. "See? This is what happens without central authority. Now go back to trusting our currency. While we don't guarantee de

I'm the opposite. My brain works well as soon as I'm no longer shivering. Sweat doesn't phase me too much. It's great for me out here in Phnom Penh, would be too hot/humid for most folks in the long run, but suits m
