Too bad I had a chance to get in when it was less than $1000 way back then.

Still see it mostly as a speculative asset at this time, especially since it is not tangible.

South African brothers disappear along with $3.6 billion in Bitcoin

Oh, they were "bridging the gap" alright, right into their own pockets! How does that saying go, work smarter, not harder.
This is why it's important to have ownership of the private keys to your bitcoin - it's not safe if you're leaving it on an exchange. Something similar happened with Mt. Gox many years ago.

I'm not a bitcoin investor.

I was alarmed when I read that China and Iran handle 75% of bitcoin mining...........What could go wrong?!?!?!?

Crypto is a foriegn/international currency outside of the sovereignty of the US government.

Only internationalists who hate America think crypto is great.
You are so wrong a lot of conservatives love crypto, myself included. Your just a Trump populist that does not care about conservative policy. Go cry in your hole.. You are just saying this because Trumpy Bear told you so and he don't like crypto.

Ha ha, a fake currency that goes against the constitution. Goodbye crypto.
Anyone can barter for anything, even gold & silver, or federal promissory notes.

Huh, well in that case it's time to buy! To the moon! Thanks for the insider tip.

Bitcoin is floating around $50k right now.

Ethereum is hanging out just under $4k.

Cardano's at around $3.

Heck, even Doge has actual value now.

Buy the dip...
