    When do you guys predict BitCoin becomes essentially valueless? I say by the end of calendar year 2014.

    Not anytime soon.

    They've got a nice little cult-like insular community going, and they won't run out of money to pump into it anytime soon. But that's all this is.

    This is one of the great rabbit holes of the Internet -- a 15-minute video that declares Bitcoin as "Edison's Renegade Currency," the brainchild of one Thomas Alva Edison almost 100 years ago.



    Its greatest feature is its description of the possimpible.

    But watching it explains, if not how Bitcoin works, how it was sold.

    Bitcoin doesn't have a CEO. She was CEO of a 2007 virtual credit card start-up in Singapore.

    Two, there are no answers to many questions about her death.

    "Bitcoin CEO" doesn't have to mean "CEO of Bitcoin." It also means "A CEO of a company intimately involved in Bitcoins."

    But the way headlines are bandied about makes it sound a specific way. SEO, yo!

    Interesting article. Interesting guy.

    It was a long read, but it was worth it to read the whole thing. I was shocked when the author revealed the guy had been born a woman!

    I trust this as much as I trust precious metals.

    If the powers decide metals are worthless, they will be.

    Whatever benefits them will be. The hell with everything, and everyone else.

    Now get back in pawn position.
