firmware bug” or backdoor?


No idea, I only deal in honest money, as specified in our Constitution. These “money” fads have come and gone for centuries, tulip bulbs come to mind.

Anything that is only an electron on a screen, depends on electricity, an unknown computer program , has no intrinsic value, can not hold in your hand is not for me. Best to stick with time tested Wealth....land, property, equities only if they are registered with the DNTC, PM’s, and to some degree paper currencies for spending only.

That’s how us older, wiser guys accumulated our Wealth.

Exactly! I am just a worn out old scrambler, took a few chances here and there, nearing the checkout counter now with a little better than pauper status -- but what I own is mine and I own it, can produce it, barter it if desired... am comfortable and leaving a little to my offspring - no debt for sure!

When Bitcoin first appeared I didn't understand it, it was cheap and easy to obtain, I just had to go to a pizza place across town and purchase a wallet, whatever, and remember a secure password. That is it! No proof of purchase, no gold card - nothing. Had I made the purchase then I suppose ideally I could be rich - if I could prove that I owned something... not for me!

At least a silver dollar is worth a dollar - I think, maybe more, maybe less. I can show physical proof of almost everything I own. If I missed out on some big chances - so be it. I am quite comfortable!

You were selling everything to buy silver at $121 the day before the crash. You lost half.
