IDK I think buying some satoshi might be better. If you buy some every month eventually you will have a full coin.

How much does one coin weigh when you hold it? I have heard they just sit there and vibrate in your hand. Lightly yet violently all the same time.

Electron Mass of a Bitcoin is around 8.296432*10-25 oz

So Libra (Facebook cryptocurrency) caused cryptocurrency values to soar a while back. Then PayPal quit:

PayPal becomes first member to exit Facebook's Libra Association

U.S. payments processor PayPal Holdings Inc <PYPL.O> said on Friday it was leaving Libra Association, the entity managing the Facebook-led effort to build global digital currency Libra, making it the first member to exit the group.

Now Ebay, Mastercard, Visa, and Stripe are quitting:

Facebook's Libra currency abandoned by major financial companies

Facebook Inc's ambitious efforts to establish a global digital currency called Libra suffered severe setbacks on Friday, as major payment companies including Mastercard and Visa Inc quit the group behind the project.

www.reuters.com

The latest exodus could be particularly problematic, as it includes all major payments companies that were founding members of the project.

Off topic but Silver is indeed the best fun "precious" thing to buy because you can get decent sized bars cheaply and then throw them at your brother when he's being irritating.

True story. Only I was the victim and thank god a troy ounce isn't much.

Do you feel like some kind of rich Aristocrat when you throw the silver bullions at your brother?

I buy lots of it. It is a very undervalued metal.

There are people who'll find a way to get you money for it if it's a significant amount, but I doubt it is.

Bitcoin reached 1.2 billion USD dollars in transactions on block 601424, that be a decent bit of coin for 1 block. Seems like a sharp increase in high value blocks lately.

jeff bezos wipes his butt with 1.2 billion. lol. healthcare will cost 30 trillion over next decade.

bitcoin is peasant money as far as government and actual rich people are concerned.

Lots of bad news in world markets today which may have spurred trades.

I used to like following it yeah, but I don't care so much these days. I think it is overvalued still.

Yup... and the riots in France, Spain, Algeria, Egypt, Hong Kong, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, the huge riots in Chile, and the problems and bank run in Lebanon.

Is really not going very well all over the world, it gives the people living there at least another option.

Bitcoin plummets to a six-month low on China crackdown

Bitcoin slumped to a six-month low on Friday after China's central bank launched a fresh crackdown on cryptocurrencies, warning of the risks entailed in issuing or trading them.

Mony is money if it has any value at all, but bitcoin is far too volatile in its value (up and down, all around) for many of us.

I don't believe that cryptocurrency will be used very much for next 5 years at leas. People are not ready for it yet. I remember guys who wanted to be rich and bought bitcoins for 20k. They lost more than a half of all their money on it. I also have a bitcoin wallet, but I don't think that I will use them anymore, so I have to withdrawal them. For a pity I forgot my password and I have to recover it with https://gpu-hash.com/

Nice thinly veiled ad for password cracking services. If real I'd advise you to forget about it unless wallet was like, less than 8 chars. Passworded wallets are very hard to crack.

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 27, 2020

I would never recommend putting your wallet info into one of these "systems." They record that information whether they are going to do something bad with it or not. Either way you just released your wallet to a public server that is easier to crack than your wallet.
