Via Julian Assange
My deepest thanks to the US government, Senator McCain and Senator Lieberman for pushing Visa, MasterCard, Payal, AmEx, Mooneybookers, et al, into erecting an illegal banking blockade against @WikiLeaks starting in 2010. It caused us to invest in Bitcoin — with > 50,000% return.
Damn that makes me smile!
Hopefully Assange finds a way to divest wikileaks of it’s bitcoin investment before that tanks or is co-opted by TPTB.
I’ve really got to start listening to my inner voice. I took a pass on Facebook and Google at their opening stock prices. I also seriously considered buying bitcoin 3 years ago.
These cryptos are bizarre though. It’s too damn hard for me to imagine they are any different than seashells or tulips. 100 years ago, you’d be thrown in the nuthouse if you suggested such a thing.
Wip….I was thinking along those same lines; it came down to this for me yesterday: Why not take $1,000 and buy and Hold it for quite a while. If it goes to zero, BFD. All the fucking around all these years buying and selling a shitload of stocks – waste of time.
Remember that guy in the 30’s – he bought every company after the market had crashed (or every company under 1 dollar – I forget exactly).
I either have to listen to my intuition or it takes a different mindset than I have. My sister just a couple weeks ago said it was a good time to buy bitcoin. I might buy the next time it takes a tumble. It’s weird, to me, where value is believed to be. Everything seems fake. I am also busily creating a business. I think, for the long haul, you simply cannot beat making something. Especially a successful business. But that is another trick I’ll have to master.
I guess McCain is good for something. Too bad he’s still hanging around to unleash more evil on congress.
So, Julian made 50,000% on bitcoin because McFucker, and the US Government “banned” him from normal channels. Now McFucker has cancer. You know, maybe God is sitting somewhere laughing, because I tell you, that is some karma if ever there was some. The only thing more delicious would be if, through some quirk of fate, Ed Snowden became CIA director, or some similar position, where he commanded the “intelligence” apparatus.
