Occasionally I come across a statement that succinctly explains some complex cultural phenomenon as well as or better than an entire book could. This is one of those statements.

I've been watching bitcoin since $10 or so, and always thought that I should buy some. At $30, I thought it was too late, but when it went to $250, I resolved to buy more if it crashed. It did, and I bought five at $80, just to get m

No matter your take on bitcoin's long-term viability (or lack thereof), it can hardly be argued that this isn't damn interesting to watch unfold. A cryptocurrency with zero backing that exists only in digital form is now worth man

Indeed. Saying that it's too late or that it's just a bubble means nothing, because the truth is that it could be either of those things, and no one will know which until everyone knows.

The government. It's obvious that people want to use it. Its popularity will only increase from here. The government is the biggest threat to bitcoin by far.

I remember when I had this in Vietnam for the first time four years ago - I was blown away. I wondered why it hadn't been sold in the USA, why I'd never heard of it, and lo and behold, the very next year, it started showing up in

I hate it when people inject their own political bias into my statements, thereby misinterpreting them before they proceed to knock the strawman down. It's such a waste of time for all involved. That statement included no specific rea

Every time I read a story about some unassuming person getting rich off of doing what they love, I always ask myself: how can I do this? Step 1: find something I love. Does lying in bed surfing the internet count? No? Damn.
