Maybe our @copper is the real "inventor" of bitcoin. And the money he will get back from Google is just the start.

Ordinals, a controversial new protocol deployed on Bitcoin, enables non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to be appended to Bitcoin transactions, effectively bringing NFTs to the largest crypto network by market capitalization.
Launched in January, the Ordinals project enables images and other types of data to be inscribed directly on satoshis (the smallest denominational units of Bitcoin - each is worth 0.00000001 BTC) on the Bitcoin blockchain without requiring a separate sidechain or token. JPEG images, new profile picture (PFP) projects, digital art, and even the 1993 first person shooter video game DOOM have been inscribed on Bitcoin using the Ordinals protocol.

New York Financial Services Department ordered that the issuance of new Binance USD (BUSD) stable coin be stopped.
It also mentions that the SEC may sue the issuer after labeling the BUSD an "unregistered security."

Shenanigans at Binance -- converting customers's USDC to BUSD without telling the customers. Value-wise, both are pegged to the USD so the customers are not losing money. Still, it's bad form to convert customers' assets without telling the customers.

The U.S. government seems to have decided to kill the crypto ecosystem.
...- "Rather than creating a new legal and regulatory framework that legitimizes crypto, we should simply let it burn."
The bottom line: The crypto industry is burning down, and the SEC is pouring gasoline on the fire. Congress seems to be perfectly happy to stand alongside crypto skeptics and watch the fire burn.

So I opened my Crypto app for the first time in 4 months, and found the balance had grown 600% since I last saw it…
Still negative, though.

Lol I honestly plan on checking mine in 10 years. Now if SHIBA goes to the moon, let me know, I’ll cash that out.

Hahaha totally fair! I haven't checked my balances, I just saw some charts in headlines that show a bit of an upward trend.
Anyway, @LuFins-Dad will let me know when SHIBA goes to the moon, then I'll sell. I think I have 26 million SHIBA coins.

I’m listening to the new Michael Lewis book about SBF/FTX.
It’s fascinating.

Crypto is going crazy.
Bitcoin is over $60k again. It's halving in 47 days. The block reward is getting cut in half. This will make mining more difficult which usually drives the price up.

Shiba Inu is worth more than 2x what I have in it now. Just waiting for it to hit 0.01. It has a long way to go.
I have 39,000,000 of them.

Ha! I was watching SHIB last night. Had gone up 50% in a day. I’m still in the red on it though.

I know this has been talked about through this thread, but I just don't get crypto. To me it is like the tulip craze in Nederlands.
I have a friend who is a crypto fan and challenged him to live off of crypto for one month and I will do the same with USD. But, he would actually have to convert crypto into goods directly. He couldn't convert to "money" first.
He declined.
