If Bitcoin Looks Like It Isn’t Trading, It’s Because It Isn’t
About 9.1 million bitcoins, representing about 51% of those outstanding, haven’t changed hands in at least six months

On Dec. 17, 2017, bitcoin hit its highest level ever—$19,783. It was a stunning move for an asset that traded under $1,000 at the beginning of the year. The manic rally enticed everyone from high-tech disciples to grandparents.

It didn’t last long. And it hasn’t returned.

In the last week of November, with bitcoin trading at around $7,000,...

I think it’s just president Trump asking to be treated fairly like we treat their companies. We have the lowest tariffs of any country and the euro trash turn around and tax our stuff a lot more. France is afraid of an equal playing field.

“international tax” is nothing but one-world-government commie nonsense. Why should other nations be able to tax Americans? Trade tariffs are one thing, but this is beyond the pale.

I didn’t think this was more than Trump trying to get a good deal from it, I just hadn’t heard about “international tax reform” and assumed it was originating with Statist Euroweenies...I trust Trump on this stuff...if he doesn’t like it and wants to change it, I trust he is doing what is best for this country because he has given me confidence by his actions he is doing just that...
