Capital Controls – It Can Happen To You, ‘Cause It Happened to Me
There’s a famous episode of The Trailer Park Boys where oft maligned rapper/producer/small time dope dealer/knowmsayn enthusiast JRoc unintentionally shares an indecent moment with a few of his pals (bad) and his mother (very bad). Watching the scene is funny, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t give me a terrible feeling at […]
Presidents, Whiplash and The American Left
I have a difficult time relating to the modern US left during the best of times. Whether policy or priorities, I just don’t see the vision. This morning, though, I simply can’t imagine the mindset of the American D-NPC – in something like 12 hours, their trusted media leviathan pivoted from “Biden is fine, Putin […]
The (Fortunate) Perils of Encryption
There’s a video (old, I think) of former president Obama discussing the nature of encryption, impenetrable devices and the dangers of “Swiss bank accounts” in everyone’s pockets, as well as the problems for governments if they aren’t allowed or are unable to “get in”.

Bitcoin ETF Review
Friends and enemies, I had some time this weekend to do a little research on the state of the US ETFs. I tried (with a little AI help) to put together the latest info in a way that might be shareable/digestible for a new entrant to Bitcoin via these new vehicles. TLDR: They are taking […]

Blockheight: 827813 Howdy Bitcoiners, Is it just me, or is the frequency and quality of clown world news increasing?

Upcoming Week For The CBP – Jan 21, 2024
Blockheight: 826685 Howdy Bitcoiners, With respect to Bitcoin, this has been the slowest new week that we have experienced for several weeks. Those who were excited by the ETF, it is no surprise that it could not maintain the hype and we transition back to what matters the most – development on Bitcoin. The […]
Upcoming Week For The CBP – Jan 14, 2024
Blockheight: 825831 Howdy Bitcoiners, Well the spot Bitcoin ETF has turned into a reality. This is after a false start by the SEC, which released a tweet on Tuesday that was approved, but that announcement was quickly rescinded. They corrected the error by approving the ETF the following day. We got a bit of […]
