Pipelines will be back online. The markets will go back up (propped by leftist money).

Could also be that people are moving to ethereum. First comes the fizzing, then the bubble bursts.

Musk just said they won’t accept it because it uses too much ELECTRICITY. This he says after bus appearance on liberal Saturday Night Live. IMHO there are bigger powers than him pushing this.

SHIP (Seanergy) is poised to take off. Look at the cape rates - iron - coal... The market manipulators can’t keep them down for long. Never understood why anyone would invest in a “coin” or anything else with zero fundamentals. If you want high risk high reward, at least go with fundamentals.

Printed money has been flowing into the markets and crypto. The crypto market cap was up over 2 trillion in one year! How’s that for inflation!

Let Musk stop using google, then. Their server farms use monstrous amounts of electricity.

Texhnically bitcoin has to collapse now: https://www.ino.com/blog/2021/05/bitcoin-make-it-or-break-it/#.YJx5fi-z2vg but with a lack of volume right now, nobody is buying or selling. Just waiting and seeing if it collapses this time.

People think Tesla is in the auto business.

No, it’s in the Renewable Fuel Credit business.

The thing about tulips is they have intrinsic value. You can actually eat tulip bulbs. Plant and tend them and you can divide for more bulbs. They are purchasable for gardeners and landscapers.

Can’t eat a Bitcoin. Or plant it. It has no physical being at all.
