When the market dropped the last few days I pulled $2K out of my account while leaving my initial investment ($3K) sit.

Figured I’d make sure I didn’t get completely cleaned out. This morning its going back up. Good for me!

And I know some will ridicule me for owning Bitcoin (don’t care) but its just another way to diversify - I’ve got small stocks, gold and silver - and Bitcoin.

I guess the temperatures are too hot for them to mine in the Texas Permian Basin using natural gas that would otherwise be flared off. That’s OK with me.

Just what we need!

Thousands of Communist Chinese taking over Spokane.

Funny, when we have natural disasters in the US I cant think of anyone packing up and heading to China

[Zhang Fei]

You will likely see significant additional interest in bitcoin as a way to avoid Chinese capital controls, now that Jack Ma’s $57b personal fortune might have been seized by Xi Jinping. The problem is the grabbiness of the Chinese government that long pre-dates the Communist Party.

It’s not unique to China. Edward Longshanks did expel the Jews and seize their property. Philip IV did the same and executed the Templar heads under trumped-up charges while seizing the Templar fortune and reneging on his debt to the military order. You know how they say absolute power corrupts absolutely. That’s the plight of Chinese tycoons under an emperor in all but name.

I pray, daily, that the hand of The Lord will break that bloody dam wide open.

“Sichuan is located upstream of the Three Gorges Dam. “

Better then being downstream!

[jetson]

Located upstream of the dam?

I have been following this dams slow demise since last spring.
It should have blown apart months ago its in such bad shape, there are thousands of welds that have broken, it has thousands of cracks in the substandard concrete used, it leaks underneath the cracks, unusually strong currents have underminded the stability of the bottom, earthquakes north of the dam have underminded its integrity, it moves from time to time the top has been bending for almost a year. It's a miracle its still standing.
